If cost is a major concern and you mainly intend to use headphones at home or in a studio, the AKG K361 will save you money while still offering very good sound quality, comfort, and a detachable cable, but it lacks wireless capabilities and isn't ideal for exercise or travel. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport, while more expensive, offers superior features for an active lifestyle, such as sweat and dust resistance, active noise cancelling, and fitness tracking; they are also optimized for both Android and Apple devices and provide a better experience for calls, gaming, and exercise, but they may not be as comfortable for extended listening sessions due to their in-ear design.

Medium

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."

Amelia Schwanke | January 2024
"We hadn't been expecting a new pair of dedicated sports buds but the surprise was nonetheless exciting. I got to try out the new buds at CES 2024 and while they have stayed true to delivering that "signature" Sennheiser sound, with a wide soundstage and strong sense of detail, it’s the extra wearable tech inside them that stands out to me against the best workout headphones."
