Apple Airpods Max and Sony WH-1000XM4 compared against AKG N700NCM2 - Sound quality is important.

One quick note - I was able to find one of the Sony WH-1000XM4's on Amazon for around $200, so you may be able to find these other ones at less expensive price tags as well. I realized after filming this that the AKG's MSRP is more than what I was able to find it for, but the trend is still that it's the least expensive of the bunch. Also, you can usually find any of these on sale.

is the AKG still the best sounding wireless NC HP?

Do you recommend akg700 for flight compared to xm5? Considering both, waiting for your rrcomendation. Btw hi yashinta from Indonesia

how is it compared to pcx550ii

I got the AKG Y600NC for $60 I hope they sound good too seems like samsung is offloading these headphones in the US since they missed the boat

Is the guy in the thumbnail Godzilla’s true form?

May I ask you a question, I'm using akg n700ncm2 and can't connect. after i update

Can you suggest an equalizer setting?

(AKG N700NCM2) i just bought 2 days ago

Thanks for the review, What is the Headphone model on the stand?

i got the AKG ones new for 70 bucks, as samsung is/was giving them away with their phones and bunch of ppl were selling them off. I'm so glad i got these.

The XM4 has a good sound, but did not impress me at all. I remembered that the free AKG Y50bt that came with my Samsung S10 sounded almost as good as the XM4 and I was expecting the XM4 to do much better for the money, but it did not(only talking about sound quality).
However, after your video I remembered how good is the AKGs, I bought the N700nc m2 to try and thank god I did, I returned the XM4 immediately the AKG sounded better in everyway, the bass is much better and the overall sound quality is amazing for just 125 Euros compared to 250 euros of the XM4.

Man... I’m getting this headphone.. your review really hit the spot! dig it on how you presented it.. interesting take and really easy to digest.. 😅

Akg does better with clarity crisp sound, compare my beat studio3 .
Bass is real good, and still has better clarity bass. Jbl club one has the best sound but bass isn't good.

Purchased the AKG's recently for air travel. Just did some quick online research and chose them, mostly due to the price and AKG's legacy. So this was a very nice surprise to hear this. I'll be traveling with them in July. Since I haven't had time to really get acquainted with them yet, I'm feeling pretty good about them now. Thanks!

Was there ever a followup on this "best anc headphone" hunt?

What about the Cleer audio Enduro anc?

There are no good sounding Bluetooth headphones besides Skullcandy crusher evo, just cuz haptic feedback it’s not rly just a genuine pair of headphones

Dr olive giving senator palpatine "unlimited power" vibes in the thumbnail 🤣

Akg n700 is better than the other two?

ANC follow-up? In this and the TWS ANC video you mention more reviews. I don’t see any mention of ANC in any of your videos since. Great videos! I have the AKG NC400 and on sale at $47 they’re incredible.

Where does the Mobius in BT mode fit in with these? Disregard price and noise canceling abilities.

Is it just me? It seems that all the audio buffs use android phones. Is there a reason for this?

I bought N700NC M2 for like $80 and its great but the headband started cracking pretty early on with just normal use. I guess my head is too big for it lol. It doesn't impact functionality, it hasn't fallen apart but the plastic material seems very brittle. It's no Sennheiser plastic. You can find them for cheap brand new on ebay, no one should pay msrp for these. Samsung used to bundle them with phones so that is how they ended up on ebay.

Price Point aside, Sennheiser MOMENTUM 3 Wireless Vs. AKG N700NCM2 Please? Which one would prefer purely on Sound?

Great compare. I was wondering, is the sound quality tested over the wired connection or Bluetooth one ? This is important for someone who is going to listen via Bluetooth and looking for great sounding headphones. I have XM4s, previously XM3 and now thinking to change them to Momentum 3, as Sony's have too much bass for my taste and after longer listening it is becoming tiring. In my country is hard to get AKG unfortunately, so I was thinking about Momentum 3, will it be better than XM4's ? Thanks in advance !

Bought it at steal deal 100$ just because of that beautiful design, and oh man the sound quality is amazing, minor issue only earcup joint is now has creaking sound.
one thing missed in the video is you will be blown away with how amazing the audio if you use this headphone wired and then turn anc on.
other cons : no aptx, can't turn off anc (only anc on or ambient mode).

Does it support Samsung scalable codec? Or other high bitrate codec like aptX.

Apple products are ALWAYS overpriced and overrated.

Definitely want to see more on your journey and take at look at the Sennheisers, and JBL (also a Harman company)
Thanks for the video :)

How do you recommend tuning the equalizer of the AKG N700NCM2?

AKG N700NC vs m2 plz...........does m2 have more flat/natural/balanced sound ???......
are these waay above k371 ???.....
THX!

So take the AirPods back to the store?

Admittedly even more expensive than the Apple Airpods, but the B&O Beoplay H95s have so far been the best sounding ANC BT headphones I've listened to. The app is horrible, the EQ is pretty much broken, but the sound is amazing (for what they are), and the microphones are also great (so work-compatible).

hey dude
try the Cleer Audio, Enduro
and under 200 too
under 150 actually

I'd be interested in how the B&O H95 stacks up. Probably would be the most expensive by a good margin.

Thanks bro. I was curious about the Akg's. Appreciate it bro.

Did you ever test the Bowers&wilkins PX7

Good Review! Do not forget the Beyerdynamic Lagoon! Sounds a bit "hifi", but other than that has really good sound quality. (And I also own wired Headphones from Audeze and Sennheiser...)

Introductory price for N700NC was 350 or like, then it dropped so much… I only have teo problems with N700NCM2 1) Terrible sound over wire 2) ANC cannot bi switched off.

If i had these 2 resolved, i would keep N700 as the only one closed headphone for me.

Can Focal Clear or Elex be used with a mobile phone or does it need an AMP?

I don't think the AKGs sound quality is as good as you describe it but it's good enough. The main problems are build quality (crappy) and noise cancellation (poor). In my opinion, these are merely ok value.

I have a cherry tree in the yard. The crows are my security guards. They notify me every time racoons are stealing my cherries.

I didnt get hooked with the thumbnail, it's when I hovered and saw the HD800s with the noise-cancelers. I was like "hell i gotta check this out" 😂

I wonder where the PXC 550 II would stand in this group (although that micro USB is a bit of a bummer) and perhaps Bose?

Just looked up the

Hey Resolve, please share your app EQ settings for the N700NCM2's in the video description.
They have been my go to for months but would love to hear your settings.

I find that Sony has the class-leading noise-canceling technology which is contrary to a lot of reviews claiming Bose QC or the Airpods Max have the crown.
