Unbelievable Sound!

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2018

These headphones are phenomenal. They come in several colors, I got the pink ones. They have a sleek, modernized design and are easy to set up. I was able to pair them with my Samsung S8+ in under ten seconds. The controls are located on the back of each earphone- left ear has the volume control and the right ear has the power button. The accessory pack includes a connector cord that can be used instead of bluetooth, charger and carrying pouch. They are extremely comfortable. The ear pads are soft and flexible- able to alleviate pressure on the ears after extended use. The sound from these headphones are magnificent. The music is crisp and clear and the quality is superb. I have been listening to my music with these for several days and I can say that I am extremely satisfied with them. I am reviewing this product as an Insider and my review is based on my actual experience with the product. #AKGinsiders

Nope! DON’T DO IT!

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2021

DON’T DO IT! It’s not with it. I read the 1 and 2 star reviews so I could make a balanced decision. I thought maybe they were just isolated incidents. Oh no. I got mine and set them aside for a bit before I wore them. I am very careful with my electronics, so they will last me for years. These headphones have never been hit or dropped, or impacted in any way. I only wore them 3 times. On the third time I wore them, I took them off my ears and a piece of plastic fell off the headset band near the earpiece, leaving the earpiece to dangle. I could understand if they were old or hand been mishandled, but they weren’t. Save your time and money. Do not buy these!

Signed,
A disappointed consumer.

Good sound but a tight on your ears

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2018

I love headphones and have tons of different kinds, designs, and brands but right now these are my go to. It could be because they're new and pretty and pink and i received them from The Insiders but the sound is good and they're convenient and easy to use. The AKG Y500s go over your head with a cushioned, adjustable headphone band and memory foam ear cups. The headband feels more air filled. The ear cushions are soft but can feel somewhat tight on your ears over time but not enough for me to not use them. They also charge fast and last long. The sound is crisp and the bass isn't overbearing. They volume goes loud enough and doesn't throw off the sound which is nice too. What I found the coolest was that the headphones pause the music when they're removed which is super handy. The controls have changed location on these and the on button now sports a blue LED light which is helpful. I did find it confusing when you hold the volume button too long it changes the tracks but it's just something new to get used too. The bluetooth pairs easily and the headphones can be paired to multiple devices and switches over effortlessly and when paired with your phone the call sounds clear as can be although I'm not down for automatic answers and will have to switch that :) These headphones fold up nicely for convenience and also have a AUX plug although I love wireless. There are a few things I'd like to see like a change in weight and how they weigh down on your ears and sometimes I feel they can fall off easily and not sit right but overall I'm happy with them and worry my son will be claiming them soon but they may not be for everyone!

This is buying my second pair of these AKG Y500 headphones. I let my wife borrow mine, and then I had to purchase hers because she loved them. Perfect for traveling since it folds up and fits in her purse. Great for airplane travel as you can still hear some of your surroundings (what we wanted). The downside is it does not really have noise canceling, but it was expected by the product description. I would highly recommend these.

Loved this headphone, but died just after 1 year; Samsung won't repair

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2018

1year update:
It has been a little over one year since I have been using this headphones.
It's great sounding headphones; however, it refuses charging.
Contacted Samsung for repair service because it's out of warranty (14 months).
Just learned that Samsung won't repair headphones; they only do exchange if it has warranty.
Now I know Samsung's headphones are good for 1 year.
I would have to buy another pair of headphones that can be repaired even after warranty period.

I have been using AKG Y500 Bluetooth headphones for few weeks, and so far I absolutely love it. First of all, it's sound quality is way more clear, rich, and deep than the headsets I've been using. (I am not audiophile btw.) I guess the noise cancelling feature helps a lot on that as it eliminates most of the background noise, so I can listen my favorite music without any distraction. Also I like the design of the Y500. It's not a luxury product by any mean, but but it looks pretty and like the pink color. (Not sure if this is for guys with BIG head though.) AKG Y500 also is very comfortable to wear; I did not wear it for a extended period of time, but no problem wearing for 30 minutes to an hour listening music or watching movie or TV shows. One feature I like it a lot is the 3.5mm cable that comes with the device. It's not just a cable, but it has built-in microphone and volume locker; so I can use it for phone calls. Also when battery is exhausted, I can still use the headphones using this cable connect to the phone or laptop; noise cancelling cannot be turned on in this case. Overall, AKG Y500 Bluetooth headphone is great product, and I recommend anyone who is looking for a noise cancelling headphones.

Nice Headphones 🎧-

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2018

First, I am extremely happy that these headphones come in a variety of colors. They are lightweight, comfortable and produce a decent sound. The connection via Bluetooth was seamless . The charging is super fast! The sound is great, I wish it would go louder but it does nicely. The buttons are small and ok. If you done have the ambient noise button on it sounds like you are under water. The instructions are way to small. The charging cable is not interchangeable. I wish there was an app to go along with these headphones. The headphones fold up nice and small and come with a pouch so they travel nicely. Again, I wish there was more options with sound. I would totally recommend these to anyone! I am reviewing these headphones as an insiders and received them at a discount.
