All in all, I would recommend it
The NC (noise cancelling) is very cool here. The environment is picked up by a microphone and then you can concentrate on the music.
The sound is really top. Super balanced if you want to listen to classical or bass music.
It is charged via a special cable. This would be difficult to replace. Thin headphone plug at one end, USB at the other.
The workmanship is top! However, the headphones do not hold well on my head. It slips quickly when I lean forward, for example.
One disadvantage for me is the cable. On the headphone side, it's not a 3.5 mm jack like everywhere else, but smaller. I.e. I would have to look for a replacement cable.
So apart from the cables (which you shouldn't lose), and somewhat less good holding comfort, it is well recommended.Pro
- Noice cancelling
- Processing
- Good, balanced sound (treble, bass)
Contra
- Thinner plugs - not so easy to replace quickly
- Does not hold well on the head
- Special charging cable for NC
Buy recommendation
Does what it should. Even on the plane, the annoying noise disappears.
Headphones are basically good travel headphones, replacement cables are exotic and hardly available
The complete range of sounds is not filtered. Less so in the high-frequency range, but the engines of an aeroplane are perfect. Thus tiptop travel headphones.
Headphone cables can get lost. So it is nice to have a replacement. 2.5mm 3-pin to 3.5mm 4-pin, incl. mic & remote control.
AKG HQ referred me to a Swiss repairer who doesn't have them. So; there is no such thing. Far East had a cheap one, i.e. mic not usable, presumption for interlocutor.
Once defective, I will opt for a device with commercially available connectors or at least available spare parts.Pro
- Sound quality
- Wearing comfort
Contra
- Replacement headphone cable not available
well...
ear pads already defective, noise cancelling switch rattles when jogging. workmanship is definitely lousy. otherwise the headphones do what they are supposed to.
Pro
- noise cancelling
- Sits well
Contra
- poor processing
- no volume control in the cable
Would most likely buy a different product next time.
Sounds great and wears very well. Unfortunately, the volume cannot be adjusted with the remote control.
BUT
Although I only need the headphones for holidays, the ear pad broke after 1 1/2 years.
I took them in for repair and after a few weeks I actually received a brand new pair of headphones (shrink-wrapped in the original packaging).
There are still ear pads for my 38-year-old Beyerdynamic!!!Pro
- Sound
- Carrying comfort
Contra
- Processing of the ear pads
- Ear pads apparently cannot be replaced
- No possibility to adjust the volume (I did not pay attention to this when I bought it and it bothers me a lot)
I will recommend them, no doubt!
Overall pleasant to wear in a long flight, but after 4hs my ears hurt a bit so I took a break and wore them again, specially because after wearing them you'll find the sound of an aircraft really disturbing . Overperforming battery.
