2016-01-06
hardware canucks CES coverage is made possible by our partner Nvidia it has also made possible thanks to Corsair fantex and NCIX without them we wouldn't be here so we stopped by the AEG booth and the first thing that caught our attention was the recently announced and ninety Q the quincy jones edition this is what it looks like to have $1,500 on your head it's quite a feeling let me tell you that it is a new addition to their flagship line and is designed for audio enthusiasts obviously who would like to experience the ultimate acoustic performance along with active noise canceling technology and also self auto-tuning feature which they say adjust the frequency response of the drivers to eliminate any distortion which is based on the microphones placed inside each ear cup that measure how the sound waves travel to your ear now this is a very unique feature because everyone's fit is different everyone's ear size is different and thus this auto frequency will be adjusted differently for everyone I couldn't really tell the difference between Auto tuning on and off but I guess more listening will be required obviously to detect all those differences in addition there are three listening modes that include standard 2.1 stereo and 5.1 surround sound which extends the soundstage on the right ear cup you'll find both analog and digital output via micro USB so it can output the higher resolution files off your source this port can also be used to update the firmware which is built inside and it supports rapid charging volume is adjusted via this turning wheel on each ear cup the leather cups are quite deep but super comfortable and let me tell you they sound absolutely fantastic very clear highs so much detail and so much emphasis on a very nice clear deep and really powerful emphasis on the bass it really put a smile on my face while listening and depending on your soundstage studying it really feels like I was sitting directly in front of the artists AKG also announced the Y 50 B T on the air polluted headphone sets feature and aluminum built on the ear cups and headband they do come in two variants black and blue with the AKG branding on both sides which looks nice the both and battery can be recharged they are USB and the Bluetooth on you can expect up to 20 hours of use volley controls can be found on the right ear cup along with the analog jacks so that's another option to listen to and another awesome headphone we stumbled at AKG was the N 60 which is the noise cancelling headphone that's purely meant for portability and traveling the build quality is nice and solid despite this very thin frame and even though the aircrafts are pretty tiny the seal they created was quite impressive the padding and pressure on the headband was comfortable plus noise cancellation for blocking out low frequencies worked really well and if you'd like us to review any of these so let us know by leaving a comment down below thanks so much for watching our coverage of CES 2016 we'll see you in the next video
