AKG Black N60 Noise Canceling Headphones Review

Very comfortable headset, easy to use. The sound quality is good, a charged battery lasts 1-2 weeks without recharging. I use them on the half hour drive home. The downside is that I don't find the noise canceling (NC) function very effective - I use it on trains in Eastern Europe and the train rumble is only slightly reduced once the NC function is activated. I was hoping not to have to listen to audiobooks at near full volume, but alas. love lesson

I don't like earphones. You are not comfortable. And over-ear headphones are huge. We use them when flying, so I wanted something really small. I have an older model of the same and my biggest annoyance was that the carrying case is so small that cables are difficult to fit in. This has been corrected in the new model. The bag is still small, but the laces now fit. I think the noise cancellation works well. It filters out most of the airplane hum. I can still hear enough in the human voice…

I bought these headphones because I was very happy with my old AKGs, but these headphones didn't really impress. The sound quality via Bluetooth is good. When the cable is connected, the headphone does not have enough amplification and the volume is too low. With Bluetooth+cancel the volume increases BUT still relatively small compared to my old AKG Q460. Sound quality seems to depend on an active equalizer that only works when headphones are on. The noise cancellation works great, reducing…

Cannot determine the charge level. They place an LED indicator behind the NC slider when the NC slider is in the off position. When the NC slider is in the ON position, the LED is always green, which means the NC is on and does not indicate charging status. So it is actually IMPOSSIBLE to determine the charging status. All you have to do is plug it in and hope it's charged. In addition, the USB side of the charging cable is so thin that you can plug it into any USB socket. Unfortunately, the…

I don't usually write reviews, most events have been covered and I usually feel like I have nothing to add. You shouldn't buy it in favor of the Bose NC line, for example. I love sound, I have an ear for music and I enjoy music more when I hear such details. Knowing the AKG's reputation, I knew the sound produced by the headphones would be crisp and clear, but I've read several reviews of the NC feature claiming it produces a kind of static sound. This initially put me off buying these…

The sound is excellent in the AKG N60 headphones. The noise canceling function does not affect the sound quality. They are particularly effective at suppressing low-frequency noise, such as on an airplane. In the office, they effectively dampen ventilation and air conditioning noise, fans and other noise. Remember these are WIRED headphones only - this model does not have Bluetooth. I specifically needed non-RF headphones for work. The line is made of high quality nylon, without a hook. Very…
