Finally a reviewer that noticed the static white noise. This really puts me off. Lots of wireless headphones suffer with this white noise. The older AKG N200 don't have this noise but the battery is terrible now after years of use. I now use the Bose Sport Earbuds: no white noise, thank god!
I live in Japan and wanted these AKG earbuds. However, there were few reviews because it has not been sold in Japan yet. Thank you for making a great comparison video!
You can have anything shipped to anywhere you want. Just use a service in the US called Stackry. I have things (that normally cannot be shipped overseas) shipped to me in Korea this way.
These earbuds are going for $47 right now on the AKG site, I bought a pair just because of that, I own some high end ear buds so I want to see how they sound up against them
Oh man! I would buy two at $47. That is a steal! This earbuds are not as good as high end earphones but it does what it promises to do. $47 is a dang good deal 👍
I got my AKG N400 and I think they are awesome. Connection to my Samsung phone was fast although I am not able to connect them with the AKG app. Overall I am quite satisfied.
Only the right unit can be connected without connecting the left unit. It does not work vice versa. Latency does exist; about 1 second. It does no harm to listen to music but it does not give the best experience on watching TH-cam.
Someone gifted me the airpods pro but I have android so I haven't opened them. Do you think it's worth keeping them or should I sell them and buy something different considering I have android
AKG sounds better. Airpods gives very flat sound; less bass. I wanna say noise canceling on Airpods is better although the level of noise cancellation is the same on both earphones. It is just that Airpods does not make any white noise.
The one thing that is better on AirPods Pro is the transparency mode. Actually AKG is more neutral and closer to Harmon curve, and satisfies even Audiophiles. Go look at crincle's review of best wireless earbuds. He's the expert in IEMs and says the AKG are comparable to wired earbuds for the same price. He does indicate that AirPods Pro are actually pretty good, but just like most wireless (and NC) earbuds, they will always be inferior to wired.
Airpods pro and Jabra 85t have replaced AKG. I didn’t have a major connection issue. There was a minor disconnection or not being able to connect with my phone issue but it happened as many time as other TWS earphones.
@@Technoliath I ended up ordering the AKG. I have Samsung Galaxy phone and hoping the connection issues will be less since AKG is owned by Samsung too.
@@Technoliath Samsung has the best Android phones (at least in the US market since we don't get Xiaomi, Oppo etc). Pixel is no where close, OnePlus and Sony are ok but Samsung is significantly better .
@@Technoliath Absolutely right!!! People say I'm Apple hater, when I actually kinda like some (and I mean some) of their products. But when you are stupid enough to come out with £307 iPad keyboard, like, the fuck are you doing😂🤮
@@andy9841 Ireland. USA release is leaked as June 1st, and most of the time anything released by AKG or Samsung eventually makes it there. I have no idea about release date for Ireland and the UK, sorry
Definitely not a fan of apple products as well as airpods pro due to white color only. Expensive and cheapskate materials. Rather choose Banana brands than Apple. LOL...

I used to be a beginner level audiophile so I guess I have enough mileage to know about white noise. Such a huge pet peeve!

@@Technoliath I know right, I went on ahead and bought 2 more just to give away for presents.

You have a very relaxing way of speaking. Good comparison video btw I thought it was helpful
Thank you! Glad that my video is helpful :)
N400 is only $47 at AKG.
I assume it is a good deal for under $50?
Definitely.
Does each earbud connect independently to the phone (akg)? Also, how is the latency for the akg earbuds?
Only the right unit can be connected without connecting the left unit. It does not work vice versa. Latency does exist; about 1 second. It does no harm to listen to music but it does not give the best experience on watching TH-cam.
Where mic better? Did you compare them in call quality?
Airpods pro is way better.
Someone gifted me the airpods pro but I have android so I haven't opened them. Do you think it's worth keeping them or should I sell them and buy something different considering I have android
Sell your airpods and buy Jabra Elite 85t. I'm using Jabra with S22 Ultra and it's awesome.
Which sound better and have better noise cancellation in your opinion?
AKG sounds better. Airpods gives very flat sound; less bass. I wanna say noise canceling on Airpods is better although the level of noise cancellation is the same on both earphones. It is just that Airpods does not make any white noise.

Thanks man, I'm still looking for the perfect pair.
Are Bluetooth connection issues manageable? Are you still using these? Thanks.
Airpods pro and Jabra 85t have replaced AKG.
I didn’t have a major connection issue. There was a minor disconnection or not being able to connect with my phone issue but it happened as many time as other TWS earphones.
@@Technoliath I ended up ordering the AKG. I have Samsung Galaxy phone and hoping the connection issues will be less since AKG is owned by Samsung too.
You are not going to regret! Bass is superb on this piece. And that Samsung factor does matter to me too 👍
@@Technoliath Samsung has the best Android phones (at least in the US market since we don't get Xiaomi, Oppo etc). Pixel is no where close, OnePlus and Sony are ok but Samsung is significantly better .
@@TH-camitisin pixels are by far the best android phones. Sony in a distant second
How is call quality on the AKG? Comparable? Thanks
It is okay for a phone call in a quiet room or outside. Does not block noise actively.
@@Technoliath people are reporting Bluetooth connection issues? Do they go away with time (or software updates)? Overall Recommended? Thanks.
I think it is still a good TWS at this price range. But it has been 2 years since it came out. So you might want to look for newer TWS earphone.
@@Technoliath I ended up ordering it. I hope the Bluetooth connection issues are not too extreme 😀.
@@Technoliath I do have Samsung buds live but their fit is not good. I am hoping those fins make them a better fit.
Have you tried autoeq with the akg?
Yeah I have. I am not sure whether there is any difference from manual eq.
You took out the right EarPod the the left ear piece for AKG, number one mistake.
AKG best sound by far!
They sound phenomenal👍
AKG costs $50 on AKGs website now
Thanks for the info! This is fantastic buying opportunity if it comes with warranty from AKG.
@@Technoliath of course it does--as it is directly from AKG. I also live overseas, but I used a service like Stackry to have it shipped to me.
Thank you so much i sub coz of this
Thank you for your sub!
With N400 possibly being released at only £179, how does Apple even put up any fight at all😍
Exactly! I like Apple but overpricing is one of my pet peeves about Apple.
@@Technoliath Absolutely right!!! People say I'm Apple hater, when I actually kinda like some (and I mean some) of their products. But when you are stupid enough to come out with £307 iPad keyboard, like, the fuck are you doing😂🤮
That, and the lack of customization and locked ecosystem of Apple products absolutely KILLS me
What country are you from? Any idea if there is a UK release date? Love the AKG's but the case size could be a deal breaker for me
@@andy9841 Ireland. USA release is leaked as June 1st, and most of the time anything released by AKG or Samsung eventually makes it there. I have no idea about release date for Ireland and the UK, sorry
great vid
Thanks!
Not a word about ANC ?!
Yeah. Both of them have ANC and I see minor difference.
