Comfort and WireFree headphone with Amazing Sound
on December 18, 2019
Posted by: Vigneshbabu
from Centennial
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, the sound quality is really amazing, I am able to feel the details of every sound without worrying about the external noise. The battery life is exceptional it is lasting for 2 to 3 days for a single charge.
Design & Comfort - The design is totally different from other headphones in the market, fits comfortably even for the big head like me without hurting me for long use.
Sound Quality - The sound quality is really perfect and I am able to get the details even on mid or low frequency.
Mobile App Support - It is very basic and really need improvement
Battery - Battery life is really exceptional, Even if I am not using for the week it is not draining and lasting for 2 to 3 days of higher use.

An Audiophile's Bluetooth Dream
on December 18, 2019

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where do I begin with these phenomenal headphones?
First of all, the build quality is pretty impressive. Yes, these have a plastic band, but it feels pretty hefty and not flimsy. The earcups are nice and cushy, maybe a *tad* on the snug side, BUT I've been able to wear them for eight hours at a time without any discomfort.
The sound quality is unmatched as far as anything I've heard from Bluetooth headphones, and #1 even compared to my wired headphones, and I have a really nice pair of studio monitors from Audio Technica, so that says something! The whole audio spectrum is crisp and clear, and the bass response is tight, yet booming.
The battery life is OUTSTANDING. Seriously, I use these at work for at least 6-8 hours a day, and I charge them maybe every third day. It's not because they're dead or anything, but I just wanted to be proactive when they're getting low-ish. When I saw the battery life claims of this model, I was very skeptical, but now I'm a believer.
There's no way I could skip over the noise-canceling feature. This attenuates the surroundings so well (but not absolutely blocks ALL sound, maybe like 95%) that I am taken aback every time I turn them off, because I never realized how loud my workplace is. People have to wave frantically at me or come tap me, because there's no way I'm hearing them with these bad boys on!

This pair changed my mind.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They come in a nice black case to carry & protect them from scratches; even when off they block most exterior sound, turn them on and it gets better even before the music starts.
Easy connection and set up with my Samsung smart phone, they work even 2 rooms away from the phone.
The speakers have a rich sound lacking a deep bass which is OK for casual listening; they are surprisingly comfortable, I wore them for 4 hours straight without even feeling them in my head and the battery lasts forever, I can use them for 4 or 5 days before they need charging.
The AKG N700NC M2 block most of the low frequencies but human voices, specifically female, are heard in spite of the music or noise cancelling.
I am not into big headphones but this pair changed my mind!

Conquered the quest for sound and quality
on December 18, 2019

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In my professional role, I spend a great deal of time working remotely. While time sequestered in a coffee shop can prove highly productive, headphones to escape the cacophony of my surroundings have been a necessity. I've spent several years (and dollars) attempting to find a model that would provide the depth of sound and bass quality I desire with a comfort and fit that doesn't make my earlobes hurt after an hour or two. I've relied on the Samsung U Level Pro for 2 solid years, but the bleed of sound persisted.
An excited stirred with the potential to test the AKG N700 noise canceling headphones. My prior experiences with noise canceling headphones left me underwhelmed with sound bleed, discomfort in fit, and the electronic hum of the noise canceling module (which is just as annoying as the neighboring chatter). These headphones rectify all of the issues! Being a techie, it is astounding how the fundamentals of design are often overlooked. The N700 had the most seamless Bluetooth setup I had ever experienced. I've used them for a solid 2 weeks now and continue to be amazed at the comfort, sound quality, depth of sound and bass, ease of function, and intangibles of playback navigation absent from other devices. The battery life has been exceptional and the AKG Headphone app provides some additional customization that would appeal to the committed audiophiles.
While my experience with these gems has been astounding, these are my minor comments that are likely not issues for others. This is much akin to criticizing Mark Twain for excluding an Oxford comma. The inclusion of the buttons to control playback and calls is a huge step up, but they are a tad small and close together. To not turn the volume up instead of skipping forward a track, I need to remove them (which is still better than digging out my phone). As well, the markings to denote left/right are subtly marked, leading to the dance of putting them on. I'm now getting accustomed to the right side being the power button and I'm getting over it. Finally, I'll often use these to be immersed in my work in my office. I quickly learned that the walk to my car in a busy traffic area was not a safe option. The noise canceling option performed up to snuff, but was not appropriate for my surroundings.
After numerous attempts to find a viable option for my needs, I have finally discovered the balance of form, function and fun I've needed all of these years.

Hands down best headphones

from maplewood
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I waited a while to write this review, and for good reason. I really wanted to test it thoroughly and here are my findings.
1. Noise cancellation is by far the best out of same price point headphones.
2. Audio quality with bluetooth is as good as bluetooth can be no complaints there
3. Wired audio is better but not really worth plugging in for convenience sake.
4. Comfort. Now that is to me where these headphones really stand out. I find myself listening to music and videos for longer periods of times simply because my head doesnt start to hurt. I sometimes find myself turning on some music on low volume and taking an afternoon nap with these on. That's how much I cant tell they are on my head

Noise canceling saved my job

from Ellenwood
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never thought I would enjoy headphones over my ears, but wow these headphones are awesome. I recently changed seats at work and felt like I couldn’t get any work done, then I got the AKG headphones and it changed my life. I can tone out all the chatter around me when I have noise canceling on.
The sound is clear, top notch. The ear pads is very comfortable, I can wear them for extended period of time a without being uncomfortable. It was easy to pair multiple devices which is another on of the features I respond love. I also like the fact that there is an app that allows me to customize the sound without having to use the buttons on the headphones.
I would purchase this as a gift.

AKG headphones keep raising the bar for others!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung has been making premium headphones under the AKG line for a while now. I have a couple different AKG wireless headsets that I have enjoyed so naturally, I wanted to try out the latest ones AKG N700NC M2.
The assembly was very simple and the battery charged pretty fast for the first use. I quickly downloaded the recommended application to go with the headsets and paired them with an iPhone, Note 10 plus, and iPad. The headphones worked flawlessly. I was able to wear them and block out someone sitting right next to me while I was playing a music game. I then tried the button to talk/listen to the person and was able to hear them. I liked the overall quality and convenience of the great sounding headphones!

I’m impressed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have some kind of weird interest in headphones and finding a new pair to enjoy whenever possible. I was excited to test and review the AKG N700 because I need a good noise-cancelling set for flights on smaller, loud planes. These headphones deliver! They are comfortable, easy to operate, compact, and come with a great case to fit them in, along with all the necessary cords and connectors. Going a little more into detail, the Bluetooth connected to my phone as SOON as I switched on the headphones. That was so easy! The volume controls are easy to reach, and I especially like having the ability to keep my headphones on, but hit the switch that allows me to listen to the ambient noise around me. No more putting the headphones on, then pulling them down around your neck when someone talks to you. The battery life has been amazing, too. I used them for many days in a row, watching at least one streaming show a night, and never once had to plug them in for a charge. The comfort on the sides and top of my head, as well as over my ears, has been nothing short of amazing. The cushion on the top is so nice for wearing these for long periods of time. These are a great choice for commuters!
