Thank you for this review! As someone that's getting into the headphone side of this hobby I find these budget videos ro be very helpful! Happy new year!🎉🎉🎉
Really great, honest review, thank you! It matches with my experience, and you say a lot of things all other reviewers missed, and describe things I experienced but couldn't find words for. I also missed some air and found the bass to be there but step back quite often. Those headphones are not bad at anything, good or very good at most things, but still sounded a bit boring to me as a result. I compared those with the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro, DT 770 Pro 80 Ohms, DT 700 Pro X, DT 770 Pro X LE, and a couple of cheaper headphones, including two DT 770 Pro knockoffs. In the end, the DT 770 Pro won for me, with the other two Beyers and this one being second, followed by the HD 280 Pro, and then the cheap ones. The DT 770 Pro might have a less smooth frequency response, but sound far more exciting and still very even and detailed. They have lots of air, but were not too sibilant, they have a wider soundstage, and better build. In comparison: - The K-361 sounded a bit boring, less detailed, less airy, sometimes a bit intense in the upper midrange in comparison (DT 770 Pro are slightly recessed there) but smoother and a bit more balanced - The DT 700 Pro X sounded more closed-in, less airy, still maybe even more prone to sibilance, but with a flatter, cleaner midrange - The DT 770 Pro X LE sounded a bit too V-shaped with lots of sub-bass, treble which can get pretty spicy, and recessed upper bass and midrange - The HD 280 Pro sounded too mid-forward with too little energy in the bass and treble, very closed-in, direct, in your face and therefore fatiguing in their own way - The cheaper options were sometimes great for the price but couldn't match the K-361 and the Beyers The DT 770 Pro were definitely the quietest and would benefit from an amp, but the 80 Ohms version doesn't necessarily need one, it still works great on my MacBook Pro and my audio interface.

Which one should i buy K361 not BT or DT770 pro? Mostly i listen to music and often gaming.
If you have an amp DT770 pro otherwise get the k361
