Samsung AKG Y500 Wireless Headphones - Black (UK Version)

Superb sound quality for the price point. Really comfortable, compact, and with comparatively large drivers (40mm) for their overall size.Noise cancelling is passive, not active. Still acceptable for my everyday use in the office or while walking.'Ambient Aware' feature lets you hear directional external sound with both cans on your ears -- a nice feature.Build quality is reflected in the price. Quite robust, but the rattling on/off slider can be slightly off-putting. Not a major fault and far, far outweighed by the overall sound quality and comfort.5/5 stars for overall value for money!

I got these for a bargain £40 as an open boxed deal. They looked brand new / never used so very pleased.For the money, the sound is great. They are my work cans, and I use them at my desk to stream hi res files from my iPhone 13 wired via a Fiio usb DAC.I then switch them to Bluetooth when out for a walk. Wired is definitely better, but both are very good.Build quality is decent, and they don’t look too big on my head.The come supplied with a handy soft pouch for travelling.All in all a great set of cans. They just might be my bargain of the year!

First of all the noise cancelling is passive with a button that mutes the audio to allow you to hear conversation. Not what I was expectingHowever the reduction of external noise is adequate.Fit is good and the on ear comfort is fine.Audio quality is good.I had an issue with regular drop out of the signal over Bluetooth while listening to my TV which appeared to be the headphones pinging my cellphone. I cured this by switching the phone Bluetooth off.They automatically pause audio if you take them off and then restarts (if the audio source allows it)Quite a nice feature but unfortunately it is very sensitive and can drop audio if you are just adjusting the fit and doesn't always restart.Apart from these minor niggles I am very pleased with them. They are well made, look smart and have a great battery life

These are a high quality on ear headphones set. I knew these would be good from several reviews by What Hifi of other AKG headphones, these are a slight update with some extra features. Great feel to these headphones, solid and well built. They have lovely buttons, easy to use and feel built to last. Come with charging cable which can be used as a listening cable plugged into a computer. Also come with pouch for the headphones for storage. A really great price for some very high quality audiophile headphones. Got two for my kids, a bit more than what was needed, but these will last and has already helped with the long drive entertainment

Need to mute TV before turning earphones on if you have soundbar attached to tv .We have a Samsung TV with sound bar attached . We live in a flat and my husband is a little hard of hearing so we bought earphones so he could watch TV late at night without dusturbing myself ir neighbours . However it took some searching to find out why sound on TV did not turn off when connecting earphones andjust muting TV sound turned headphone sound off .We could find nothing in instructions and were considering returning earphones when we tried one last thing . We have now discovered that to use headphones1. You have to mute TV sound BEFORE turning headphones on .2. When disconnecting earphones you have to go into settings and turn sound bar back on .3. This is probably as soundbar is connected directly to TV not by bluetooth. We are waiting answer from Samsung Technical on thisApart from this hicup he finds the earphones are excellent value and uses them to listen to music via Ipad and tablet as well as watching TV

I highly recommend these headphones. If you want something that sounds good without emptying your bank account then these will do the job. Adjustable and comfortable and the ear pieces turn in for easy storage. I did buy an extra long charging lead as I thought the one they supply was a bit short for me. Again I'm more than happy and I hope you will be if you purchase them.

I have found the headphones to provide satisfactory if not amazing sound when listening to music and to the spoken word. For the price I consider them to be good value yet I am left wanting more.The noise cancellation does not totally cut out the sound of the tv when it is at volume required by a deaf person who is sitting in the same room. I find the headphones are not tight to my head so undertaking any activity requiring movement would not really be possible.I have used them for listening sessions of a couple of hours plus but would not consider them the most comfortable of phones. The quality of construction is nonetheless good.I have some hesitancy recommending them without reservation but nor would I deter a buyer from trying them out. Personally I would still like to find a more comfortable set and one that provided a stunning listening experience. However I accept that this would not only require me to buy a far more expensive set of headphones but also a better source than the one I use.

These headphones are comfortable to wear and give very good sound quality. I have hearing problems and these allow me to hear clearly when connected to my tablet, for example. The one problem that I have had with them, which is quite possibly not the fault of the headphones, is that when I connect them via bluetooth to a smart tv, they show up as 'connected' but I don't get any sound coming through - I have checked volume levels but there may be something else I am missing. Otherwise I am very pleased with them - I have had other, less expensive, headphones but I think these are well worth the price.
