Generally, the AKG N60 NC are fantastic headphones. They sound great. They feel great. They're effective at cancelling out all but the worst of ambient noise. They're not particularly cheap, costing around the same price these days as the Bose QuietComfort 25 (the wired version of the QuietComfort...

A winning combination of great sound and isolation make these AKGs ideal travel companions

Clear, punchy sound, Musical; balanced, Effective noise-cancellation, Very portable, Smart design

Nothing

I've had these now for 3 weeks. First impressions: they look good and the sound quality is clean. They work well in a quietish environment. However, if noise cancelling is the priority, I would recommend spending the extra and getting a pair of Bose over the ear headphones.

This is more comparison review of AKG and BOSE. I bought both Bose QuietComfort 35 II and AKG N60 on the same day for Christmas gifts for my kids. AKG does cancel out noises, but it still allows noise to be heard due to its "on ear" design.

The sound quality kinda sucks and and not very comfortable very very overpriced

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...

Lightweight, easy to fold for storage/transportation; Fantastic sound with noise cancelling feature

May be a bit on the pricey side for some

The accessories; The absolute power; The design

Washy mid-range; Charging cable; Clamp it up

The AKG N60 NC Wireless are a pair of on-ear noise-cancelling headphones that come from good stock. The wired AKG N60 NC , released in 2015, are a superb set of cans – and losing the physical connection only serves to make them better.

Excellent sound; Lightweight; Collapsible design; Good noise cancellation

Could have more padding on the headband; No NFC

$250, that is what I spent. What I got was structural design that is beneath what should be excellence from Germanic/Austrian engineering. Firstly everything is great about this headset, and I don't want to take away anything from the fine engineers that did the good stuff.

Fantastic Electronics and Sound

Structural problem turns it into a $250 piece of garbage

If you're in the market for a premium noise-canceling headphone, chances are you're looking at one of the Bose models, the QuietComfort 25 (around-ear) or QuietComfort 20. We gave high ratings to those products and -- in terms of noise-canceling headphones -- they're leaders in the category.

Despite a few small downsides, AKG's $250 on-ear active noise-canceling headphone sounds great and is a worthy alternative to Bose's top-selling QuietComfort 25.

The AKG N60 NC is a compact, comfortable, well-designed on-ear headphone that sounds really good for a model with active noise cancellation; The rechargeable battery offers 30 hours of listening time.

Charging cable isn't the standard Micro-USB variety; single-button remote lacks volume controls.
