Frequently Asked Questions
What's the frequency response, and is it suitable for mixing and mastering?
The K361-BT covers 15–28,000 Hz with a neutral, reference-quality character across its range. Its closed-back design and balanced tone make it well-suited for mixing and mastering in home studios, though critical mixing is best paired with studio monitors for full-spectrum work.
How long does the battery last, and can I use these headphones wired?
Maximum battery life is 28 hours on a single charge via Bluetooth 5.0. You also get two included cables (1.2m and 3m) for wired monitoring when you need to bypass wireless or preserve battery.
Are these headphones comfortable for long studio sessions?
Yes—they weigh only 215g and feature plush, slow-retention foam earpads designed for extended wear. The lightweight, over-ear closed-back design minimizes ear fatigue during long mixing or monitoring sessions.
How do the K361-BT compare to the Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT or Sony MDR-7506?
The K361-BT offers comparable Bluetooth and reference sound to the ATH-M50xBT at a lower price, with longer battery life and a more portable foldable design. It compares favorably to the wired MDR-7506 in tone accuracy, but adds wireless convenience and modern Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity.
Can I use these for live performance or DJ-ing?
These headphones are designed for studio monitoring, mixing, and critical listening rather than live performance or DJ-ing. Their reference character and closed-back isolation are optimized for stationary work in controlled environments.
