Some of the companies are actual experts in making compact wireless headphones. Me, I prefer different types of headphones especially when it comes to wireless technology.
Headphones that are wireless are a bit costlier and often vary in audio delivery. Therefore, one has to be very careful while investing in wireless headphones.
It is not every day that you go online to buy a Bluetooth or RF headset and spend hundreds of dollars just to experiment with sound.
As I said, I prefer different types of headsets, a pair for working out in the gym – which are small and compact and one pair of headphones that is fully cupped cans for watching movies and listening to music.
It is true that wired headphones have an edge over wireless ones but recently, I had noticed that some brands have successfully developed wireless headphones that match the clarity and performance of wired ones.
One such brand is AKG and they have awesome wireless headphones in their collection. After much testing, here are a few AKG wireless headphones that you will love especially for gym lovers and outdoorsy people.
AKG K 240 MK II Stereo Studio Headphones
The AKG K 240 MK II Stereo Studio Headphones features Varimotion 30 mm XXL transducers with a semi-open design that provides the comfort of open headphones with the bass response of closed designs.
The headphones are large and lightweight and can be used for long sessions. It has a self-adjusting headband and the overall design is comfortable with leatherette pads that absorb sweat on the headphones too.
The AKG K240 MKII headphones sound clear and well-balanced with the bass that sounds full and the highs, pleasant.
The cans are of semi-open design and also enable your ears to breathe sufficiently with a solid build, useful features and proper sound reproduction.
These AKG wireless headphones are used for tracking, mixing and editing in the studio and audiophiles and others who look for a quality yet affordable pair of headphones for the studio. Simply put, it is the complete package for your daily dose of music while on the go.
The AKG K 845BT Bluetooth Wireless On-Ear Headphones is a beautifully designed headphone pair from AKG with a focus on functionality, materials, and uniformity in color.
The K845 BT has ample padding on the earcups and on the underside of the headband while the swivelling hinges and headband with precise click-stop numbered points allow a secure, balanced positioning on the head.
The hinges also allow these AKG wireless headphones to fold down flat for easier storage, but surprisingly they don’t provide any carrying case or pouch.
The right ear houses the 3.5mm connection for the included audio cable, along with a Play/Pause button, Volume controls and a Bluetooth pairing button.
The Play button is also used to answer or end calls, but the volume controls do not double as track navigation buttons; you can only skip tracks on your source device.
The K845 BT does not distort at top volumes and delivers a loud low-end response. The high frequencies are well-represented which can appeal more to lovers of natural, dynamic bass.
The audio performance is strong and clean and the battery shuts off automatically when you plug in the cable.
The AKG Y50BTBLK is one of the best budget on-ear headphones available with a chunky, exuberant style that appears more fun than the average set of AKG headphones.
Each side has a thick synthetic leather pad cushion swivel frame and thick foam, which avoid pressure on your ear cartilage. These headphones come with a basic fabric carry bag; a fancy hard case would be at odds with the breezy, youthful style.
These headphones have up to 20 hours of battery life and can be charged using an exposed micro-USB port on the side.
Y50BTBLK has a series of buttons on the right cup which you can use to control volume and playback when using the headphones with Bluetooth, you can control volume and playback using a series of buttons on the right cup.
The sound stage displays good width for affordable on-ear headphones and has good quality when streaming wirelessly.
The treble is on the soft side offer good sound quality with a longer-lasting, better-built and superior-tech compared to other headphones from the segment.
AKG N60NC On-Ear Noise-Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones with Built-In Remote and Mic
The AKG N60NC On-Ear Noise-Cancelling Bluetooth Headphone is light weighing only 150g and it can fold ear cups and hinges inside of the body.
They come with an included small, zip-up pouch, with plenty of room remaining for the flight adapter, woven detachable cable with built-in mic and 3.5mm USB charging cable.
These headphones deliver full-bodied sound with bass as the key characteristic here complemented by smooth treble and better clarity.
Even with the noise cancelling turned off, in passive listening mode, the N60s still perform well. There is a track forward/back button that’s located on the right earcup which has a rocker switch design to advance a track.
The noise-cancelling feature is impressive, and importantly, works without affecting audio performance. They benefit from a compact design and are comfortable for use on longer journeys.
The battery life of N60NC is rated at up to 15 hours with both Bluetooth and noise cancelling engaged which is good but can’t say great and battery life can last up to 30 hours if you use the noise cancelling only in wired mode.
All in all, they are of portable design and have impressive noise cancellation that makes these great-sounding on-ears a commuter’s best friend.
