If you prioritize comfort and sound quality, the Antlion Kimura Duo earbuds are superior, especially for gaming and calls, and they have a microphone which is missing in the AKG K361 headphones. The K361s, being over-ear headphones, offer better noise isolation and are more suitable for air travel. Both have detachable cables but the AKG K361 has a longer cable. The K361 is the more affordable option, but if you're okay with spending slightly more, the Kimura Duo provides additional features such as ear hooks for a secure fit, which could be beneficial for users with an active lifestyle.

Alex Rowe | November 2019
"The K361 retains much of what makes the K371 such a winner, though it has a leaner sound, and the build changes made to trim the price down are immediately apparent. Still, it’s another excellent offering from AKG, and other companies in this fight should either be very worried or quickly designing updates to their old models."

"Antlion Kimura Duo aren’t packed with features, but the ones they offer, work incredibly well. Especially the boom mic delivers very clean call quality with no distortion. If you explicitly look for gaming in-ear monitors with a reliable microphone, Antlion Kimura Duo are your best option."
