AKG has announced the K361-BT and K371-BT professional studio headphones with Bluetooth. Aimed at artists and engineers who want the flexibility of wireless or wired connectivity and studio-quality sound, the K361-BT and K371-BT feature an over-ear, closed-back design.
Six months after introducing the K361 and K371, AKG has decided to add Bluetooth. The company says that the K361-BT and K371-BT are precision-engineered to reproduce audio in great detail and offer the best frequency response in their class. Both models are equipped with 50 mm drivers and pure copper, oxygen-free voice coils. According to AKG, this ensures a transparent sound and balanced lows, mids, and highs. While the K361-BT and K371-BT feature wireless Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, they can also be used with cables. AKG has also added built-in microphones for two-way Bluetooth communication, so you can even use them to make phone calls while you’re mixing or editing.

They weigh 260 grams (9.2 ounces).
