Review on ๐ŸŽง AKG Y45BT Black Wireless Bluetooth Headphone with NFC, On-Ear Design and By-Pass Cable, Black by Holly Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Terrific. Unbeatable for its price!

Where to start? These aren't really 'reference' headphones as it's quite obvious that they have their own specific colourway. And it really is a very nice box of colored pencils. Current ownership at time of review: 1 day total, 3 hours of listening time (tested across all major genres from the 1950s to the present. I will update this review over time by having samples of some of the best headphones in the world. My usual everyday headphones at home are amplified vintage Sennheiser HD650 headphones First Impressions: - Excellent build quality (for a ridiculously low price of $100) Music *superb* They've recovered some details that weren't so easy to resolve with my HD650 Playback , with no hiss, ringing, or annoying harshness. The mids are slightly subdued, but not to a level that most listeners will find uncomfortable, so again the presentation is rich and warm, and it also lacks detail.Low level.es is complicated here, if you listen to them in a quiet environment, you will most likely immediately notice how strong di e are low frequencies. Too strong. Seemingly dramatic overkill. However, it looks like they were designed this way for two main purposes: 1 - To appeal to young people who need rich bass, a la Beats headphones 2 - These frequency responses are often used in headphones that use the "" "choice" for outdoor trips (size, bluetooth, foldable, easy to take anywhere). When used in this way, many external environments quickly negate much of the low-frequency output. Ambient noise is unwanted noise that competes with the signal from your headphones. Despite the driver's close proximity to your ear, low frequencies can still be severely reduced in volume or have their presence washed out entirely. This over-the-top bass does an excellent job of maintaining overall tonal balance. The overall result is quite impressive. I see no need for active noise cancellation. They are notable for their isolation during playback. All that, plus a 20-hour battery life, and you're ready for some righteous fun. If you arrive by train or bus. You need these puppies.
