AKG N60 NC: Top active noise-canceling headphones

2016-03-01
this is the AKG and 60 and see one of the best sounding active noise-cancelling headphones we've tested it's an on-ear model and very comfortable for an on-ear headphone with nicely padded ear cuffs and a sleek sturdy design the question is why would you get this over Bose is quiet comfort 25 headphone well for starters it takes up a little less room in your bag this is a smaller headphone and folds up to fit and included neoprene carrying case also at 250 dollars it's a little less expensive but really the main reason is that it sounds better than the Bose it's a cleaner sounding headphone with more detail and tighter bass and decent openness for an on-ear headphone battery life is good at 30 hours of active noise-cancelling and if the battery runs out you can listen in passive mode without the headphone being powered the noise canceling isn't quite as effective as boses and there's a very faint hiss when it's engaged that said I thought it was quite good overall and worked well muffling sound in our office on a plane the subway and walking the streets of New York to be clear this is a wired headphone there is no Bluetooth and it does have a few small downsides instead of the standard micro USB charger you'd use to charge your phone you have to charge the battery via the headphone jack with a 2.5 millimeter sub mini plug to USB cable lose that charging cord and you can't charge the headphone anymore and will have to seek a replacement it's also worth pointing out that there are no volume controls on the headphone cord which has a fabric cover to reduce coronoid it's a one button universal remote that allows you to pause and play tracks answer an end calls and to skip tracks forward and back those minor gripes aside this is a well-designed headphone that's worth considering over the Bose if sound quality is your highest priority in an active noise-cancelling headphone I'm David karna thanks for watching
