A few years ago, AKG was a mere blip on our headphone radar. Today, it’s one of the first brands we point people at when they want a combination of quality and affordability. The N60NC cans are a perfect example.

How so? Active noise-cancelling, understated design, incredible comfort, brilliant battery life, and a carry pouch complete with an airline-friendly adaptor, all for half the price you pay for other noise-cancellers. That’s how so.

Sure, they’re still wired, and they’re on-ear rather than over-ear, but they’re incredibly comfortable, surprisingly effective at keeping outside noise at bay, and weigh a mere 150 grams. If you’re a frequent traveller or just want quality cans you can fold flat, chuck in a bag and take everywhere, the N60NC ‘phones deserve a spot on your tech shopping list
