Product details

Are you looking for the perfect headphones that match your style and provide you with complete freedom? Then the AKG Y50BT is just right for you. In addition to a wireless Bluetooth connection and 20 hours of battery life, the AKG Y50BT features 40mm drivers for balanced, powerful sound. It delivers the same outstanding sound quality as the Y50 headphones, which was awarded Headphone Product of the Year by What Hi-Fi? Sound And Vision in 2014. And that's not all: just as unique as its sound quality is its appearance. Available in three fresh colors and with a specially coated surface that has both matte and glossy finishes, the AKG Y50BT looks as exciting as it sounds.

Rank 8 out of 17Stiftung Warentest17 Bluetooth Kopfhörer 06/2017ReleaseJune 2017

Anpassungsfähig. Besonders einfach aufzusetzen und an die Kopfform anzupassen. Der AKG klingt etwas dumpf, mit leicht dröhnendem Bass. Der Einschalter ist unbeschriftet, daneben sitzt das wie eine Blindtaste aussehende Mikrofon. Der Kopfhörer ist erhältlich in den Farben Blau, Schwarz und Silber.

Alle beim Y50 beschriebenen Eigenschaften gelten auch beim Y50BT, den Unterschied macht die drahtlose Verbindung zum Smartphone via Bluetooth. Das Pairing klappt mühelos und eine Micro-USB-Ladebuchse entbindet auf Reisen von einem weiteren proprietären Ladegerät. Mehr als 20 Stunden Akkulaufzeit verspricht AKG, wofür wir intern die volle Punktzahl vergeben...
