Review on 🎧 AKG Y45BT Black Wireless Bluetooth Headphone with NFC, On-Ear Design and By-Pass Cable, Black by Jasmine Mcneal

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great headphones especially if you have a thick beard!

This really is great value for money. Because of Revain's return policy, I was able to try out literally six different Bluetooth headphones. In terms of build quality, sound quality, and ease of pairing with a Bluetooth transmitter that's permanently connected to my TV, there's simply no other $100 or less pair that even comes close. I've tried them all and each failed in one of the three areas mentioned. I had a particular need for in-ear headphones. That's because ALL types of over-ear headphones have ear pads or cushions that deteriorate because I have a very thick beard. There is nothing wrong with the headphones. Rather, it's just a combination of my facial hair and pillows. So after ten years of thinking these in-ear headphones sucked, a light bulb went on and I knew it was me πŸ’‘. I've actually preferred over-ear headphones because they're a little looser, but these AKG Y50 BT headphones are comfortable for endless listening hours without excessive pinch pressure. The sound you expect from in-ear headphones. Slightly compressed. But it's ok for watching movies. Would I recommend them to audiophiles? No way! I have mid-range Grados and they just can't compete with them. But they are open and wired. But I digress. Yes, buy them for comfort, ease of use, and decent sound quality for $100 Bluetooth headphones. ESPECIALLY if you have a thick beard and don't want the pads to fall apart from rubbing against your beard. I had a pair of Bohm B76s and they sounded great overall. But the pillows just fell apart and my wife panicked several times thinking I had tics all over my neck!
