AKG N60NC Noise-Cancelling Headphones

Ok, anyone looking at these will notice they were made in 2018ish so they're obviously older. That being said snagging them for $60-$80 is a steal. First lets get the more "Dated" stiff out of the way. Dated: No multi point, so you're only connected to one device at a time. But it does remember a lot of pairings. No transparency. You aren't able to pipe in outside noises like the newer high end headphones do (Solo Pros/1000 XM4 ect) Personally I don't like the function that much on non IEM headphones because it's super east to just slide them off. BT 4.0. Not really a negavive because there haven't been too many improvements with 5.0 in the audio space other than maybe increased range. These have the 3 meter/33 foot range 90% of headphones have. Ok so you've heard all the bad stuff technology wise which in my opinion isn't anything worth worrying about but it exists. Good Stuff: These things are really portable for normal non IEM headphones. They're half as think as my Solo Pros when folded and about 2/3 as wide as my Sony 1000 XM4s. They have a really good sound signature out of the box. They don't have anything overly exaggerated, the bass is definitely represented, the highs aren't harsh and the mids are very clear. Unlike my closest headphones to these (Solo Pros) that sound more muddy with the highs but trade it for somewhat increased bass. The best way to describe it is it feels like you're listening the the Solos through a hoodie. But the N60's sound very clear considering the price. Fit. They have a nice clamping force, not really too tight or loose for normal listening. I woildnt workout with them or do anything beyond cleaning the house. ANC. It's alright, being on ears they are already at at disadvantage vs the 1000 XM4's but it's completely acceptable on such a portable headphone. Better than nothing but ANC has advanced a lot in the lats 4 years on top end headphones. Battery is accurate. not much to say about that. Overall these are a definite green light even in 2022. If you compare them to any other "New" headphone available in this price bracket these easily destroy them. Would I pay $300? Heck no there are a lot better options in 2022, but for $60-$80 I'd take these all day for their portability, ANC, and very acceptable out of the box sound signature and sound clarity. With the few negatives these have you probably won't find them in the $60 range anyways, or if you do it will be horrid quality.

I'm not one of those people who wear headphones all the time, in fact, those people bug me. But these headphones changed me. The noise-cancelling on these is amazing. If you put them on and then turn them on, you can actually hear the difference in your surroundings. IT'S AMAZING! All the white noise in your house are gone. I literally wear these without listening to anything just to block out the construction happening next to my office. I'm becoming one of those people who just wear headphones. The sound quality is great when I do play music or a podcast. And the fact that you can switch Bluetooth connections without repairing them is handy. My Husband used them to mow the lawn and was shocked at how much they drowned out the mower. I've had them off a little over a month and am not using them every day, but when I do use them, it's for hours on end. I've only had to charge them once! The battery is super! The bag they come with is not heavy duty but it does the job. It comes with an airplane adaptor as well which was a nice bonus. All in all, I'm in love. I've convinced my hubby to buy his own pair so he stops stealing mine. So 5 stars, would recommend.

These headphone at around ~$125 price range (on sale) are a STEAL! They're absolutely fantastic sounding, super easy to pair and use, comfortable to wear, COMPACT to pack and take on a plane, are built with high quality material, and they SOUND GREAT! I've had multiple wireless headphones in this price range including a Sennheiser at $199 and none sounded as great as these! They also pair with TWO devices so you can switch back and forth, as I use that BOTH with my TV, AND, my iPhone! They have clear mid, highs, and decent amount of bass for the size (not bass heavy which I hate). I personally haven't heard a better sounding wireless headphone at this price, they're just FANTASTIC! The ONLY thing they lack, is the noise cancelling feature, it's NOT as great as Sony or Bose Noise cancelling headphones, they do cancel noise (turned on automatically when you turn em on), and they take the white noise down (airplane noise) but doesn't give you the silent kind of cancelling you get with Sony and Bose... BUT those are $400+ price range and at this price you can't beat these headphones. So, overall 4/5 star just because of average noise cancelling, but if you use this for home, office, gym, etc... they can't be beat at the low sale price they're offered now!

This model is a little older and I'm sure there are newer ones with better performance. However, this model does work very well. When I use them on a plane the noise cancellation reduces the engine noise down from a headache inducing drone to just barely noticeable, and this is without even playing any music or watching a movie. This is my second pair that I bought for my wife. We have discovered that these work very well for those online conference calls that we need to do for work, all of a sudden. The sound quality is excellent for music or movies even without the noise cancellation. Once you add the noise cancellation it's even better. My only complaint is that the cups are a little small and they sit on your ear instead of over. This can get a little uncomfortable after few hours as it's putting pressure on your actual ear and it does get a little hot. Overall with the value and the quality I would not trade them.

I bought these to replace a pair of Bose Soundlink headphones that I dropped into the ocean. I don't think the Bose Soundlink Headphones were noise canceling. Thus, I can say without a doubt that the AKGs have a much better sound, in comparison to the Bose Soundlink. Compared to another pair I have, --my wired on-ear Bose Quiet Comfort (ca 2008)--I would say that the new AKGs might sound better to me, as far as sound and noise canceling effectiveness. The Quiet Comforts might simply have a "different" sound... It comes down to personal preference or what hearing range one might have lost with age. My feeling is that the Bose Quiet Comforts are slightly muddy-ier, or bassier, but I still use them at home and it is nice to change things up. Nobody can fault the quality of these 15 year old Bose headphones; the Quiet Comforts were very durable and I have gotten my money out of 'em. I'd still be using them if the battery was up to modern standards and they were Blue Tooth ready... I bought the AKGs b/c they are compatable with the older blue tooth (I have an Iphone 6). The AKG syncs perfectly with my phone, and to my linux mint ThinkPad. I wish the Iphone had one more click down, to make the AKGs slightly quieter on the lowest click (there isn't infinite adjustment on the iPhone, as is on the laptop). I don't think this issue would bother most people, but I wear these all day, so I switch to my laptop once I get to work so as to do minimal damage to my hearing. Walking on city streets, I'm above the minimum click on the Iphone, anyway. Well, here are my rambling thoughts after about a month of using the AKGs. They exceeded my expectations.

Absolutely spectacular. For the negative comments, there will always be some issues with products of any kind, especially electronics. As of now, just received them, extremely comfortable on my ears, sturdy and soft. Very clear sound. Sound quality is also going to have allot to do with the TV you own and I just brought a brand new Samsung a few weeks ago and have the abilities to make multiple sound settings. Connecting Bluetooth for the first time was easy since the headphones are setup initially when you power on to pair and connect with your device. Great looking packaging, well protected during shipping and they actually arrived 1 day a head of schedule. Harman Kardan always has made top notch products. No different this time. I would recommend these to anyone looking for clear sound, nice high end and bass and middle range. Voices very clear.

I listen primarily to music with a strong vocal component: early and traditional music, contemporary folk, modern vocal compositions etc. For such music, these headphones perform exceptionally well. I can't speak to bass reproduction, as the music I listen to is generally strongest in the higher registers, except to say that it seems more than adequate. I ran some bench-marking tests, which the headphones passed with flying colors. Soundstaging seems pretty effective to my ears; however, I can claim no great sophistication as an audiophile. As I use these for traveling, the fact that they fold down compactly and are relatively light is a big plus. Bluetooth pairing is extremely straightforward and unusually well executed compared to many devices I have used. Use with the supplied cable is easy and the sound quality equally excellent (or possibly slightly better). I have not experience any discomfort from the ear pads, with up to a couple of hours of continuous listening. The noise canceling is terrific, and a delight as I do much of my listening on long rides on the bus (I'm a long-distance commuter). I can't speak to long-term durability, but these seem very well built, and the included soft pouch is very handy. All in all, I'm delighted. The only negatives are the placing of the volume and pairing switches on the right-hand speaker, which can get confusing, and the fact that they are a little loose on my head. Edit: Just over a year after purchase, I experienced problems with the headphone speakers detaching from the headset. Though easily repaired with a spot of adhesive, I find this very disappointing. My comments about the sound remain favorable, but I have dropped my rating due to this build quality issue.

I only have the prior AKG NC headphones for comparison General feeling of an Average Joe who travels several times a year but is not a road warrior: Noise Cancel is decent but not as effective as the prior model. IMO: prior model was excellent for the money, these are very good for the money. Long haul travelers may want to check these on a couple of short hauls before embarking upon a 14 hour flight. Two biggest peeves: Lacks a dedicated switch to turn NC on and off. The earpieces are thicker than the prior model so side sleeping is out and when packed in its carrying case the case is larger then the prior model Minor peeve The folding hinges can break if not careful. Older model was the same, lasted years before breaking when 1/2 asleep. Good part: Sound is better than the older model. Blue Tooth works reasonably well Ran battery 10 hours with no sign of depletion. Don't know actual life.

Excellent quality, sound is amazing,well fits on ears and head,I have to used to non cable headset,but after few times it is excellent you can even forget that you wear headset :) Very high quality of travel case and accessories. Good battery,very classic and elegant design.

Premetto che non sono una maniaca della riduzione del rumore, disturbo o cose simili: 15 anni fa quando si compravano delle cuffie si godeva della qualità della musica senza tante pare. Punto. Ed è per questo che consiglio queste cuffie. Ora sembra che una cuffia debba far chi sa cosa, queste AKG a mio parere hanno un paring immediato via bluetooth, un suono pulito, bassi bilanciati e poco invadenti, leggere, curate nel packaging, complete di accessori. Non so se isolano perfettamente dal rumore della giungla o riproducano musica in modo paradisiaco come altre più costose, ma se cercate una cuffia ottimale per guardarvi la serie tv in streaming preferita o ascoltare della buona musica come AKG ha sempre garantito, per me sono ampiamente promosse.

I had been looking at the NC60 headphones for a while, having owned a pair of AKG headphones years ago, but wanted some with NC while working from home, however, I initially didn't want to spend as much, so I made the mistake of buying a cheaper brand (OneOdio) on Amazon which had plenty of great reviews, but were actually pretty poor, especially with NC on. The AKG NC60's immediately impressed from the moment I opened the Amazon box, even the quality and design of the packaging was significantly better than the previously mentioned headphones. The NC60's feel of better quality too, and for me, are very comfortable to wear, I don't think I would use them in the gym though as I feel they might fall off with enough movement. They were easy to connect to my phone and laptop, with a stable connection, and the sound quality was great across a wide range of music types, I wouldn't say they are suited for bass heads, but they have a nice rounded sound quality without the bass being over powering, even on dance / hip hop tracks. The NC is on constantly when using wirelessly, and combined with music playing isolate most constant sounds (test with the washing machine on), and even drowns out a lot of my constant keyboard noise, there is only so much NC can do though and you can occasionally still hear the faint sound of background talking, but overall I would say they do a great job without spending twice as much, the main thing for me was with NC on there is next to no hiss on quieter tracks / in between tracks / podcasts, which was a major issue for me on the cheaper OneOdio headphones. I also like how these headphones are slightly smaller than over ear headphones, which should make them perfect to travel with. Overall I just wish I bought these from the start, rather than wasting a week receiving, and sending back, the cheaper headphones. Sometimes you get what you pay for, very impressed.

Werkt na nog geen jaar niet meer en nergens op Amazon iets te vinden over garantie

Compact headphone with decent noise cancelling function.
