AKG Y500 Wireless headphone: Ultra-compact on-ear headphones for audiophiles
If you’re looking for an ultra-compact, sleek, and great-sounding on-ear headphone then look no further than AKG’s Y500 Wireless. While AKG might not be a household name to some, this Harman International subsidiary (and sister company to Harman Kardon, JBL, Mark Levinson, and Revel) is well known in audiophile and recording circles. AKG also has a rich legacy in the recording studio world.
I’ve reviewed several AGK headphones over the years, including the AKG N60 NC Wireless and N700 NC Wireless, and have always had a great experience. The AKG Y500 Wireless is no exception.
DESIGN AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS
The AKG Y500 Wireless come beautifully packaged. The headphones themselves were awarded an iF Design Award in 2018. The headphone box proudly displays the iF Design Award logo on its cover.
The Y500 come in your choice of blue, green, pink, and black finishes with chrome accents. My review pair came in black.
The Y500 are a road warrior’s best friend. With a 900mAh
