If you prioritize overall sound quality and affordability, the AKG K361 over-ear headphones offer great value and are less expensive than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 earbuds. The AKGs are wired and have higher overall sound quality, which makes them suitable for critical listening, but they lack the convenience of wireless connectivity. Conversely, the Sennheisers are true wireless earbuds with a portable charging case, offer active noise cancelling and are sweatproof, making them more versatile for on-the-go use, calls, and exercise, despite a slightly lower sound quality.

Alex Rowe | November 2019
"The K361 retains much of what makes the K371 such a winner, though it has a leaner sound, and the build changes made to trim the price down are immediately apparent. Still, it’s another excellent offering from AKG, and other companies in this fight should either be very worried or quickly designing updates to their old models."

"They are more comfortable and nicer to use than their predecessors, battery life is better and noise-cancelling is now included as part of the package. They’re easy to live with and you could happily listen to them for hours on end without reaching for the pause button. If your budget allows, your ears will be handsomely rewarded."
