AKG releases its first Professional Studio series headphones, the wireless model K371-BT-Y3 and K361-BT-Y3 are now slowly becoming available. The wireless version is Bluetooth connected with version 5.0

In addition, since it also supports wired connections. The drivers are large 50mm that enables highly accurate monitoring, and the ear pads use a low-elasticity material that deforms freely according to the shape around the ear. By delivering all the output from the driver to that eardrum of yours, it is possible to faithfully reproduce the power of the original sound, they claim.

In addition, it has a gimmick such as an ear cup touch sensor that can quickly perform operations such as play/pause, volume adjustment, song forward / song return, incoming call response with built-in microphone, and rotating mechanism that can be folded compactly when carrying.

The specifications of "K371-BT-Y3" are sensitivity 99dB SPL / mW, reproduction frequency band 5Hz-40kHz, impedance 32Ω, weight 294g, battery life up to 40 hours, the compatible codecs are AAC / SBC / UHQ. The specifications of "K361-BT-Y3" are sensitivity 99dB SPL / mW, reproduction frequency band 15Hz-28kHz, impedance 32Ω, weight 252g, battery life up to 24 hours, compatible codec is AAC / SBC. The headphones are priced in a US$179.00 range.

Still using my trusty K601 from AKG, best headphone i ever bought. Super comfy with those velour washable earpads.

I see they still make models based on it and Thomann also sells velour pads for the newer ones.

K 712 broke a bit after the warranty period. Cant remember which side it was which went mute. K 240 MK2 has lasted over 10 years.
