Good looks, comfortable, Excellent battery life, Punchy, reverberating bass
Poor noise isolation, Underwhelming overall sound, Only SBC Bluetooth codec supported,
The AKG Y500 headphones certainly aren't bad, but we'll stop short of calling them very good. We like how they look and feel for the most part, and the sound is decent if you like your bass punchy. However, we didn't find anything exceptional about these...

Abstract: This on-ear design uses Bluetooth wireless tech and is packed with useful features. My favourite is Ambient Aware, which lets in more sound from your surroundings so you can still hear what's going on around you without having to stop the music. If you do...

Great size and build quality, Bluetooth for wire-free listening experience, Generally good sound quality for an affordable pair of on-ears
Mids lack snap and balance isn't perfect, Sound isolation is limited, Lower-end bass doesn't always engage due to on-ear fit, Micro-USB not USB-C
If you're looking for affordable, attractive and comfortable cans that aren't massive over-ears or uncomfortable in-ears then the AKG Y500 delivers all that in an on-ear format with the bonus of wireless connectivity.Sound quality is decent considering th...
Excellent real world facilities, Decent sound quality with video content in particular, Well made
Slightly old fashioned Bluetooth installation, Slightly uncomfortable for long stints, Seriously talented competition
The headphone market is a huge one and as a result of that, people aren't looking for exactly the same things when choosing a product. The AKG Y500 is not all things to all people. If you want the ultimate in fidelity at the price, you'll need to go wired...
Lightweight and portable design, Punchy mid-bass response
Sub-par sound quality, Uncomfortable for long commutes, Sound leaks
On the whole, the AKG Y500 are an upgrade over the Y50BTs – they last longer, are more stylish and have more features. If, for some reason, you prefer headphones that sit on your ears rather than encasing them, they're worth considering – ultimately, they...

Clear and punchy sound, Tidy, practical design, Long battery life
Slightly snarly mid-range, No noise-cancelling, Some issues with advanced features
The Y500s are not sonically perfect, and some of the techy features don't work as well as they perhaps should; but they're comfortable and easy to use, the basic treble/balance is bang-on, and that extended battery life should be a big selling point. We'...

Clear, detailed and refined sound, Smooth presentation, Excellent build and design,
Delivery could be more energetic,
Juggling good sound quality, clever features, durable build quality and attractive design in equal measure is no mean feat, but AKG pulls it off while making it look easy.The Y500 Wireless headphones are hugely appealing to use and listen to - you won't f...
Solid construction, Good sound output, Insane battery life
Not for bass lovers, Sound leaks due to its build, One-ear headphones may not be comfortable for everyone, Photos by Raj Rout, ShareTweetShare
The AKG Y500 wireless headphones tick all the right boxes. They have a good, easy-to-carry design, impressive sound and great battery life – all at a price that's not hard to digest.That doesn't mean however that there's no competition. In fact, the p...
