Everything from the packaging and construction - right down to the exact measurements to where and how they fit on your head - to the sound is truly well designed and beautiful

Additionally, I really like the design, which allows the earphones to rotate against the band, making it quick and easy to put on and take off with minimum resistance from my gigantic head.

After opening the packaging I was holding a beautifully designed and very attractive pair of headphones

They are shaped a bit oddly and are a little heavy on the ear, but I like that they have a Bluetooth and a wired option

These don't have that - you're getting good bluetooth instead, and if you want both you are going to have to spend more.-

The AKG Y500 is a modern Bluetooth headphone with aspirations of being a go-to, convenient, mobile-friendly product

This is a good Bluetooth headset and they fold up fairly well.

I've got my iPhone hooked up to it right now, and my music sounds fantastic.

and once you pair you get smooth sounding music or whatever you want to listen too

The headphones have a fantastic sleek blue matte chrome look and they fold up rather compactly before sliding into the pouch provided

The first thing that struck me about these headphones is how good looking they are

These look great, and quite professional-looking in my opinion.

There are many great features (on/off/pair, call-connection, fade music in and out, stop music when earphones are taken off, volume control, pause/play, ambient sound, cushion over ears/comfort, great-looking, well-made, ease-of-use).I do need to make sure to place all of my earphones just right on my head to avoid having them slip off.

But if you're looking for good, accurate, VIBRANT sound quality - there's really no comparison to a good wired set of cans with a DAC for an extra boost

Plus it works wired and wireless, AND has an app that will work with assistants and other apps and read to you

Add to this excellent sound & wired

I would categorize them as balanced across the frequency range, smooth and sweet sounding, commendable as they handle treble and pleasurable in the area of bass response.

My only caveat is that design presses on the ears -- albeit with really nice padding -- in such a way that comfort can start to wane (including because of increased ear temperature).

Only one minor improvement I can see and that would be to use a rougher surface under the top pad on the headset mounting band to make it less likely to slip around on your head

These are really light and the padding for the on-ear cups is superb

The headband has just enough padding to maintain the slick look overall and keep your head from hurting while wearing these for long periods of time

and these fold flat for easy storage in the included pouch

They fold up nicely, and come with a lovely storage bag to put in your bag or just to keep them neat and clean

In addition, the headset comes with a nice storage and travel bag and another cable, a short output cable to a speaker or other input should you choose to use it

Unquestionably, I would have preferred active noise cancellation as a

These have quickly become my favorite pair of headphones, for several reasons

After opening the packaging I was holding a beautifully designed and very attractive pair of headphones

All in all, a nice pair of headphones at an attractive price point

In substance, these headphones are solid feeling in the earpieces, and the pair I received didn't have any quality issues

I would categorize them as balanced across the frequency range, smooth and sweet sounding, commendable as they handle treble and pleasurable in the area of bass response.

But lows are kind of flat, without oomph -- there's just not enough bass for a pair of $150 headphones

I hate headphones that have extremely loud bass and headphones that have a horrible treble response.

I also wouldn't trust the other review regarding the bass.

Another unusual feature (at least to me) is a button for ambient sound: you press this button and a

A fantastic feature is that when you take these off, it pauses your spot

Another nice feature are the embossed numbers and lines on the stainless spring in the headstrap which makes it easy to set the ear muffs to your desired physical place

That there is a cord included for non-bluetooth wear is a helpful feature, as is the convenient pouch to store the headphones, instructions and wires all in one place

That being said, one nice feature of these headphones is that a stereo aux cord is included so that you can, if you wish, use these headphones as a wired set--say, if you're listening to an iPod or off a laptop and not able to or wanting to mess with a Bluetooth connection.6.)
