If you prioritize a stable, wireless fit for active use such as working out, the Jabra Elite Active 75t, with their secure in-ear design and sweat resistance, might be more suitable. The AKG K361, being over-ear headphones, provide better sound isolation and potentially enhanced sound quality, suitable for home listening or studio use. However, they are wired, so mobility may be limited compared to the wireless Jabras. The Jabra earbuds also come with the convenience of a built-in microphone for calls, while the AKGs don't. If budget is a concern, and the slight cost saving is significant for you, the AKG K361 could be the better economic choice, provided that their wired design and lack of workout suitability are not deal-breakers for your needs.

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."

Alex Bracetti | November 2022
"Audio is spacious and warm, delivering just the right amount of boom to kickstart your workouts without compromising the mids and highs. Battery life (both on a single charge and the charging case) is superior to all AirPods models. The extremely durable shell also reassures you that it’s going to take more than some severe environmental conditions to damage these buds."
