Manuals of product Y500
Editorial note
The AKG Y500 headphones stand out for their immersive listening experience thanks to a wide frequency range from 16 to 22,000 Hz and an in-ear design that ensures prolonged comfort while effectively isolating surrounding noises. With an impressive battery life of 33 hours, these headphones allow for extended use without interruption, which is ideal for active users. However, some aspects deserve mention. The weight of 230 g may be considered relatively heavy for prolonged listening sessions, which could lead to discomfort. Additionally, while Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity is functional, it is less effective compared to newer versions, which may affect range and connectivity. The lack of USB connectivity also limits connection options with some modern devices. In terms of audio performance, the AKG Y500 delivers clear and powerful sound, but the microphone sensitivity of -42 dB may not be sufficient for high-quality recordings in noisy environments. Despite these few drawbacks, the value for money remains appealing, thanks to the features they offer. In summary, the AKG Y500 is an excellent choice for those seeking quality sound and prolonged listening comfort, while keeping in mind certain limitations in terms of connectivity and weight.Score details
