AKG K361-BT: Nearly Everything I Wanted!

For context, I purchased these in a pinch after my 7 year old daily driver Bose QC15's blew a driver. While I don't have much experience to speak of in the world of headphones or audiophile equipment, if it sounds good, it sounds good, and these sure do. Personal preference an all.
The AKG K361-BT certainly sound more lively than my old Bose, paired with better technical performance (detail retrieval and imaging) to boot. Technology advances at an odd pace for audio gear, and these cans show it. Were normally I would grab for my Airpods or Bose Soundwear for Bluetooth listening, now I have a new option. I cannot tell you how many times I've yanked out the cable of my Bose headphones while wearing them about. Point for AKG. The touch controls seam to work as intended with my pair, but from what I've read, YMMV. Quality control was an initial concern before purchasing these headphones, they pair I received have no defects. They're certainly not Beyerdynamic tank, but they don't feel flimsy by any means, and you cant win them all.
The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because of comfort, namely the stock ear pads. I never considered my ears as being big, but they still make contact with the driver leading to minor discomfort, so beware. Additionally, my ears do get quite warm after an hour of continuous use, but these headphones are a bit seal dependent. As to say, if they pads don't make a good seal to your head, they sound a bit off. Maybe Bose comfort has had me spoiled over the years, but I'm not one to settle.
All that said, they still earn a 4.5/5 stars because they give the sense that they've much more to give. I have put in an order for some 3rd party ear pads, and if they resolve the comfort issue, then mission Accomplished.
Are there better sounding (tuning, detail, soundstage) headphones at this price point? I'm sure there are, but without spending a grand on cans, tradeoffs must be made. Do these K361-BT offer every flavor of Bluetooth connectivity? No, but who cares at this price, and for most there wont be an audible lose in quality! Is comfort a deal breaker? Certainly for most, but that's why pad rolling and swapping is a norm for those big into headphones. Plus, since there's quite a few 3rd party options for these headphones, (Dekoni & Brainwvz) so both audio quality and comfort are not set in stone.

Fantastic headphones

They provide a very nice balance to be used not just professionally but to be used for general listings. I have used them for both work and personal. Can't go wrong with these.

Great Headphones

I bought these to have good and accurate audio reproduction with wireless features. AKG delivered on this in a fantastic way. The have a very soft feel on the head and ears and it's very easy to wear them for a long time. I would highly recommend these to anyone who need the freedom of wireless and quality audio reproduction.

Excellent Headphones! Very comfortable and well worth the money.

I wanted to get a pair of wireless closed back headphones to use while watching tv or playing music, these are great! Very good quality, seem durable, and sound very very good. Thanks to my sales rep Chris Jenkins again.
