Review on 🎧 Kygo Life A6/500 On-Ear Bluetooth Headphones: aptX® and AAC® Codecs, 18Hr Playback, NFC Pairing, Pro Line - Black by Corey Greene

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Expensive headphones are great, but very expensive

The Kygo Life A6/500 headphones are amazing - great sound, comfortable to wear and lightweight, but not amazing enough to justify their $179 price tag. These headphones are lightweight and sit comfortably on the ear. I recently wore them on a long flight and have never had any complaints. Other headphones fit snugly around your head, which can help block out ambient noise but can give you a headache when flying over rough terrain. With these headphones, that's no problem. Complete with charging cable, device socket and carrying case, the headphones have the usual bells and whistles. The headphones are also controlled by the Kygo Sound app, which is easy to install and connect to the headphones. However, I don't see many features in the app - the only "Sound Settings" option seems to be to toggle Bass Boost on or off. This is something other headphones allow for with a separate knob or slider on the headphones themselves. (But the button or slider isn't connected to the Kygo store either...) For convenience, the earbuds rotate, allowing the phones to lie flat when not in use, which is great for packaging and product safety. You'll love these headphones, but whether you like them more than a pair of $90 headphones to justify the price premium is up to you. . . I don't hear a big difference.
