Review: Comfy, amazing build, does the job - The AKG Y50 comes with a very high expectation, so naturally they were destined to disappoint, and yes I was expecting an audio revelation. More than one expert review said these are comparable to headphones at twice the price, so when tested at £80 by reviewers, these should sound like £81-160 headphones (though I got them for less). So, I shortlisted Sennheiser, Beats, Philips, and Audio Technica, but reviews kept steering me to AKG. At the budget end, What Hifi best buy headphones under £50 were also looking good, the Panasonic RPHTX7. While I prefer the WW2 radio operator style of the Panasonic, the black AKG Y50 looked like it belonged to an assassin. And every material on this is soft to touch (black version). Even the cable is soft, let alone the ear pads which are sublime; the matt finish on all surfaces makes them look like stealth headphones. So, I borrowed my daughter's Panasonic RPHTX7 to do a sound comparison (£40 headphones versus £80), and swapped between those and my new Y50s while listening to Mussorgsky 'Night on Bare Mountain' on vinyl. The Panasonic sounded great, loud, and boomy, very clear, difficult to beat, and sometimes available at £22, amazing value. But then the AKG showed me something quite different, very comfortable, the sound was less harsh, less muddled, and very very good. Neutral, inoffensive, tight bass, well controlled throughout. It almost steers you through individual notes with ease, it tames recordings. So this is what £80-160 headphones should sound like, I thought. Smooth, and comfy. Are you looking for boomy harsh sound, then AKG will disappoint you, but reproducing music and vocals, AKG hits the sweet spot. Only one query, they're quiet, and so the volume needs to be turned up to actually hear the detail in the music, just remember to turn it down when you unplug the headphones! Compared to reviews for other quality cans, £80 Grados are unbeatable for sound, but less comfortable. £120 Sennheiser Monitors are simply gorgeous, but in a different price bracket (these were my first choice). Audio Technicas are apparently bass heavy (but respect the heritage and make great styli), and lastly Beats, which are the most trendy, but pricey and bass heavy (apparently). So for £80, the AKGs seem to do everything, batsman, bowler and fielder; sensible, practical, no weaknesses, well behaved, a little radical in appearance (if you opt for non-black), easy to live with, a labrador with a spiky collar? 5 stars.
Review: High end sound - Bought these on offer. I own the Yamaha HPH-200's, the Yamaha Pro 400's and the AKG K551's, so that is my comparison level. I also have listened to various Grado Headphones. I have always been a sucker for a good offer and have been fortunate to buy my headphones on a good review/price basis. I have not been able to test out most headphones as they are just not available to demo. Hence I have looked for great reviews and special offers and I have been lucky. When I saw the AKG Y50's on an exceptional offer my heart ruled my head and I pressed the button. As I was not going to wear these outdoors I bought the yellow pair. The branding is extremely overstated but for me it does not matter. I want comfort and sound quality. The headphone is a mixture of aluminium and plastic and feels very nice to the touch. The can covers are aluminium and the head band is metallic too. Not cheap materials at all. The pads are covered with what seems to be leather on memory foam, but may be a leather substitute. They are firm yet gentle on the ear, the soft memory foam softening everything. The longest I have worn them for is about two hours and the idea of discomfort has just not arisen. They come with an in line remote control which I have no intention of using. Importantly the right headphone supports a 2.5 mm to 3.5mm detachable cable, and as long as you buy a small 3.5mm female to 2.5mm male adapter (on desertcart or eBay) you can upgrade the cable. As I put these cans to my ears I got a shock. They sounded high end. Not in relation to price but in absolute terms. Many including AKG themselves have stated the bass end is extended, but what is not mentioned is that it is in perfect balance with the mids and highs. Although these are not studio monitors they are tonally and musically exceptional. Whether it's bass reliant music such as Bob Marley, Sade and Gorgon City, or Tchaikovsky's string quartets these headphones pitch them beautifully. Guitars on Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits and Pink Floyd sound natural and as they should do. Ed Sheeran's "Sing" sounds big. Bob Dylan, Fairport Convention and Bert Jansch are imbued with heart and meaning. The sound-stage is not extreme in width but is deeper than most, giving the sense of in the room experience and the sheer musicality and organic quality of the offering draws one in to a very personal and intimate experience. I have tried a few cables and although the supplied cable is very good, my short Yamaha cable is definitely the best with this headphone. Of course sound is very personal so all of this is IMHO. Some reviewers here give poor reviews. Maybe they have rogue quality earphones that escaped the quality control, maybe they have a Chinese copy or maybe they just don't like the AKG Y50's, but the AKG Y50's are exceptional to my ear. So 5*'s from What HiFi and 5*'s from me. Update These headphones do not, de facto, drive easily from mobile phones. I use them with a Fiio X1 dedicated DAP and a Fiio E11 Kilimanjaro headphone amp. The sound from the headphones in this system is exceptional. Running the AKG Y50's through my Sony Z3 Android phone does not create enough power, and volume is limited. Most headphones cannot give their best performance directly from a phone. Iphone users may get a lttle more volume but not a lot. A small headphone amp can make a lot of difference.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great headphones - shame they broke so quickly
*by A***R on 6 August 2018*

Pros: These have been my first pair of wireless headphones and they are really simple to use. I've had no problems with connecting them to devices and I like the fact that they can also be plugged in if I want to save battery. The battery life is excellent; I didn't even charge them when they arrived and they still lasted well over a week, with an average weekly usage of around 10 hours. The sound quality is great, nice and clear and more bass-heavy than my previous headphones (Monster DNA On-Ear Headphones). Sound leakage seems to be low; I'm fairly comfortable using them on the train, although I do still restrain myself a little with regards to the volume. In terms of noise cancellation, these do a fairly decent job. Definitely better than my previous headphones; however, if you're really looking to block out all sounds these may not be for you. Cons: The left ear cup detached after less than 3 weeks. I've seen a couple of other reviews stating the same thing, so I don't know if there is just a flaw with the swivel design. I took great care of them, so I was obviously disappointed. I thought about getting different ones; however, it had taken me a long time to pick a pair in the first place and I was pretty happy with them in every other way so I decided to just get a replacement. This was straightforward as I was still within the returns period. I've had them for a couple of weeks so far and I'm trying to leave them unfolded as much as possible, in the hope that it may help to prevent them breaking again. I would also say that I have quite a small head and these only just fit - when I have the adjustable band on the highest setting they still sit a little lower on my ears than I would ideally like. However, this isn't a problem in terms of them staying on my ears or in terms of sound and I soon got used to it. Finally, they aren't the most comfortable headphones I've had. I'm definitely getting more used to them as time goes on, but in the beginning my ears would start to feel sore after only around half an hour. Overall, I would recommend these headphones as they offer great sound at a very reasonable price. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that my second pair are more durable than my first!
