The AKG Y600 NC is a wireless over-ear headphone with active noise cancellation, designed for portable listening.
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. These are a solid mid-range option for those prioritizing battery life and multipoint convenience over top-tier ANC performance.

Reviewers agree that the AKG Y600 NC offers excellent build quality, comfortable fit, and impressive sound, especially at discounted prices around $60–$80, making them a strong value.
14:39The reviewer praises the AKG Y600 NC for its excellent build quality, comfortable fit, and outstanding sound, especially for the discounted price of $80. However, they criticize Samsung for not releasing the product in the US and for neglecting the AKG brand, making it hard to find. The noise canceling is considered respectable but not top-tier, and there are minor drawbacks like the lack of USB-C to USB-C charging and limited app support.
20:08The reviewer bought the AKG Y600 NC headphones on sale for $60 and tested them for a week. They praise the sound quality, especially with Samsung's UHQ audio codec, and the unique slider volume control. However, they criticize the inability to turn off noise canceling, a poorly implemented auto-off feature, limited ambient modes, and a strong clamp force that requires a break-in period.
20:53The reviewer finds the AKG Y600NC headphones to be a great value at around $80, praising their build quality, clear bass, and useful features like ANC and talk-through. However, he notes comfort issues for larger ears and a slightly rough volume knob, concluding they are a solid buy at the discounted price but not worth the original $350 retail.
15:00The reviewer unboxes and tests the AKG Y600 NC headphones, praising their design, comfort, and app features, but notes they are targeting the Bose QC35 and will compare them. He finds the sound quality good after adjusting the EQ, and overall considers them a solid option for noise-canceling headphones.
