My 2 cents.

I have these. They are my set after trying so many. Got them at like 80 or 90 and for that I felt lucky. But headphones seem like such a subjective personal thing.

- the sound quality is what I like mainly. Rich, hear the more subtle instrumentation. These imho beat lower and medium tier stuff out of the water. And are high tier. Whether they are the high tier sound for you, I dont know.
- using on a Samsung and they have Samsung Scaleable Codec for bluetooth which imho helps the sound quality. Also UHQ codec avail too on my S23plus.
- heavier than ideal but because the sound quality is towards my subjective ideal I don't mind
- earcups round instead of earshaped which can be kind of annoying but because the sound quality is towards my subjective ideal I don't mind
- can't turn off ANC but because the sound quality is towards my subjective ideal I don't mind
- ANC is alright. Nothing amazing but good.
- doesn't super blast volume which I like as I am 50 and blasted way too much heavy metal through the decades. My phone literally warning beeped repeatedly when I had a few and was blasting heavy metal for too long on these. But it was great and I usually hate that stuff but it really kept me from too much volume too long.
- had Momentum 4 which I did very much like, but saved lots of dough selling those and getting these.
- these fold inward unlike Momentum 4
- might get another pair of these at this price just for backup

reaaaaaally wanted to buy this but reviews are telling me you can't turn the ANC off, it's just always on (and mediocre) and that kills it for me. Great if you don't care about that, so gets a thumbs up anyway!

"There's not even the facility to adjust the Y600NC active noise-cancelling - it's on, all the time, and there's nothing you can do about it."
https://www.t3.com/reviews/akg-y600nc-review

"The always-on active noise-cancelling falls into the 'good-not-great' category, too. Outside noise is diminished but not, strictly speaking, cancelled, and because there's no way to adjust it, let alone turn it off, it's a 'one size fits all' solution. And generally 'one size fits all' doesn't really fit anyone all that well."

was there a software update maybe? can't watch the youtube video at work.

Edit: no tax in ohio via HA's website (+2.5% SD cashback) with free 2 day shipping and free returns...giving these a whirl to see if they're any good.

The description mentions Ambient Aware mode and Talk Thru mode so I would think there's a way to defeat the NC.

I purchased these headphones last week for $80 -- excellent build and sound quality. I also really like the physical controls for volume, play/pause/skip, ANC, etc. However, ANC is definitely weaker than my QC 35s. Regarding price, I called Harman Audio and the were able to price match and refund me $20.

That's just silly.

Regardless of how you feel about a product, competition and choices are ALWAYS a good thing. That is unless you want to pay double for the products you do like.

Have you tried the Samsung buds pro or the buds pro 2. They sound phenomenal!

Have not read review yet
Couldnt get past
"AKG aren't a brand immediately familiar to this reviewer, "
That's like saying I review home audio for a living but haven't ever heard of Sony, Yamaha, marantz etc
