Review on AKG Y500 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones 🎧 - Blue (US Version) - On-Ear Foldable Design by Danny Kamerer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good sound quality

I bought it just for the sound quality as it's made by AKG and was pleasantly surprised, in terms of sound signature it sounds better than my Sony WH-1000 XM4 BUT it certainly does It's missing a lot of the features Sony has like ANC, touch controls. However, it still connects to multiple devices at once, which is a big plus. When using a Bluetooth connection in the background, there is a slight hissing noise during and shortly after music playback, but this is imperceptible during music playback, when using a wired connection the hissing disappears. The included cable is 2.5mm to 3.5mm and cannot be used with newer generation phones. So if you want wired listening that's noticeably better, you may need a different cable (2.5mm to USB-C) or dongle (3.5mm to USB-C), and it's a little tricky to find one finding a good quality cable, so a good dongle might be your best option. I bought the headphones "used like new" for a small amount and am very happy with this purchase.
