Most comfortable wireless over ear headphoness? < £250 budget

Pretty sure it’s the 371, might be the 361 but either way sound wise would be better than the Bose I think.

I also have the QC35II and they are the most comfortable headphones I’ve tried, period. Music wise, well, it’s Bluetooth. It checks all your demands but one, it’s micro usb. Can be found easy open box for 200/220 USD in the states.

both are available… yeah id agree in terms of sound they should be preferable

None of the product pages for the AKG K371-BT or even the AKG site itself mentions whether its a USB-C charging cable. Just says USB, which is super helpful.

looks like micro (at 50 second mark)

If anker can put USB-C on £30 headphones, it does kind of take the piss companies who sell these higher end ones can’t be arsed to do it.

so the way I see it then without sacrificing comfort and with sacrificing sound quality over the k371 bt your option is the Bose 700 at double the cost lol priorities I guess… may be more budget options that im unfamiliar with though

USB micro isn’t all that bad, amazon has some decent durable cords with micro.

Bose 700 sound is worse than QC35II

Usb-c vs sound quality :man_shrugging:

Well, if are going to choose worse sound because the usb c might be a bit more convenient not a very audiophile choice imo

Seems to be priority for op

hmm the Bose 700 are panda money, and out of the two I’d rather wait for the pandas as I don’t need the ANC.

Fair enough. I would however suggest that you at least try the K371 bluetooth, but return them if you don’t like them. They are a pretty great sound signature.

you can always make your own wireless headphones with some double sided tape and a fiio btr3 :smiley:

That’s what I was going to suggest but they said they wanted true wireless without anything like that. I wouldn’t get full bluetooth personally but it is what they want.

Surely comfort is a personal thing?

I had a chance to try the 700 recently. Yeah just ignore them the QC 35s are better sounding and much more comfortable. Also cheaper

Very much is but there are certain things that are mostly agreed on. To be more comfortable. Like pad quality, lower clamping for, pad shape, how it sits on your head, weight generally.

Agreed. I’ve tried both and the 700 are not worth it in any way tbh
