Reply to comment by Nosapaw in just a newbie, what do you think? by flores_amarillas

You’re gonna call akgs bad? I know build quality is terrible but I’m using 371bt for like 3rd week of intensive usage without charging or connecting via cable. I needed to exchange one pair coz it broke but overall they’re ok. And they stayed for a few months longer than my Beats Flex I bought just to keep any wireless buds in my pocket (they seemed well suited coz they work long without need to recharge but don’t have charging cube. Plus all the weight lays on neck).

Yeah, not all AKGs are the same, i also have a pair of k371s (wired ones tho) and they're pretty good, i like them a lot (even their build quality, haven't had problems) but the k52/72/92 are probably among the worst "known brand" over ear headphones.

Yep. They’re basically old open backs converted into cheap closed backs, right? I kinda think about buying modern k240 and iPod to have something slightly better than phone and wireless and something more mobile than pc and wired headphones. But that’s rather in long term. Akg 361/371BT are more prone to bend/break band due to battery and microphone stuck into it. There’s extreme horizontal force on it and only slight peace of metal keeping it in shape. If not the band I would rank them extremely high especially considering audio quality for the price.

Just because some akgs are good doesnt mean that they’re all good, what you have there is some flawed logic my friend

I know. I was mostly joking. I’m aware there are good and bad designs. I pointed out build quality issues and also shown some good sides of akgs. I didn’t know this particular pair was so bad. I’m not that experienced with headphones so I was genuinely surprised and wanted to get more info.
