What reviewers said

AKG Y600 NC

The AKG Y600NC are wireless over-ear headphones that aim to deliver a balanced all-round experience, featuring hybrid active noise cancellation, 25-hour battery life, and support for dual-device connectivity via Bluetooth 5.0. They offer a comfortable, foldable design with a premium feel, and their 40mm drivers produce a sound profile that is generally well-regarded, though their noise cancellation is not the strongest in the category.
