AKG has hit a real home run with the AKG N60 NC Wireless headphones. They look good, are quite comfortable, and sound great. On top of that, they perform quite well. Sure, there are some issues — like, for example, the fact that the headphones have a slight Bluetooth buzzing sound and the fact that...

Active noise cancelling headphones like the AKG N60 NC are a must for music fans who find in-ear headphones uncomfortable. By monitoring their surroundings using built-in microphones, this type of headphone can counter ambient noise by playing a sound wave that’s 180-degrees out of phase with it.

I have had the opportunity to audition a lot of headphones over the years. I’m not saying that I’m jaded, but it’s rare for me to get truly excited when something new shows up in the mail. However, one look at the new AKG N60NC Wireless headphones changed that for me. What’s so exciting about them?

I’ve reviewed a few noise canceling headphones over the years and one constant in all those reviews is that noise canceling alters the sound of whatever music you’re playing—and not in a good way.

How many times have you been on a flight or subway train only to be wishing that your headphones drowned out the outside world so you could better enjoy your music? Our AKG N60NC review takes a look at a pair of noise cancelling headphones aimed at the frequent traveler and sees just how they stack...

Super headphones, great sound and noise cancelling as good as you could expect for the money. NC great for dulling out the sound of plane engines etc Battery life for NC seems to last forever, certainly 20 hours plus!

Had these headphones for a short time. Loved them until they started to fall apart...

These are brilliant I've had then on for hours at a time and found the comfort and sound outstanding much better than other I've used

Fantastic thankyou

Sound quality is good, comfortable to wear (although I wouldn't like to wear any headphones for more than say 1-2 hrs. Great for daily 1+ hrs commute on the bus. It doesn't cancel all noises but cancels enough to get a feeling of riding in a premium car while tucked in a seat on Dublin Bus...

Great quality & sound, comfy & surprisingly good noise cancelling. Love the fact I can continue to use them once the charge has gone in non-active mode. A few minor issues though - not been using them for long & they are starting to look quite worn, especially where they rub, whilst folded in the...

Spent a long time looking at headphones in this and slightly higher price range. Unfortunately there is a real lack of decent choices that aren't wireless (I use an external DAC so prefer wired). They would be stunning if they weren't let down by a lack of bass that's at times almost non existent.

First time in buying a noise cancelling set of headphones and ticks all the boxes so far. My only slight complaint would be that the batteries need charging on a regular basis. However, this would not stop me from recommending at this price

Nearly perfect noise-cancelling headphones, but has some inconveniences due to the poorly thought out travelling pouch and USB charging system. Main issues: - USB charging through propriety cable rather than using standardised USB connection, like on the AKG Y45BT phones - headphone pouch does not...

Excellent sound quality and noise cancellingNo in-line volume control
