Here I've got nothing but good news - at least for my specific ear canals. Here's one thing that's important - how the earphones feel inside your ear. That's very much the case here, which makes a lot of genres nice to listen to. If you're listening to music, you'll likely want to hear the vocalist clearly. The one thing I did really like about the headphones was that the vocals on songs were clear and crisp. But I really don't feel like this will be a big deal for most users. There's too much treble there, and it's quite painful to hear. I will say, however, that at higher volumes - and I feel outside the comfortable listening of most people - these earbuds do start to lose the plot a little. Bass, mid and trebles are well matched and feel like there has been some form of care put into trying to make a better-than-average headphone. There's good news too though, because at normal listening levels the whole lot balances really well. In fact, treble is a little over-hyped on these headphones if I had to pin any real criticism on them. The highs did also give me little concern on my first test too. There is, if anything, more of a bias to the high-end, but the mids feel competent enough - although not especially exciting. That said, once I'd spent a bit of time listening I didn't feel that was really the case anymore. This is quite common on cheap headphones, and leads to a generally unsatisfactory experience. Speaking of which, on my first listen I felt that the midrange was a bit over-emphasised. If you ever feel the need to take headphones out, and they aren't physically uncomfortable, it might well be that the sound is unbalanced. Now, I Iike some good low-end sound when it's called for, but too much of it gets very wearing very quickly. Not an over-the-top amount, just a decent thump when the music demands it. The first thing I noticed was that they have a good level of bass. But if you look at Level headphones, they share a lot of the design with these AKG-labeled earbuds. I suspect it doesn't have much of a future now. It doesn't matter anyway, because Samsung headphones are usually good anyway - especially the Level brand, which the firm was developing until it ended up buying Harman. Tuned by AKG, but Samsung headphones all the way Ian Morris Since that time though the online details I can find say only "tuned by". The messaging on this has been somewhat mixed, because at the S8 launch Samsung told everyone that they were "high-end AKG headphones". These are Samsung headphones that have been AKG tuned. There's an inline remote, the earbuds are compact and unfussy in their design. I'm not really a brand snob, but this might actually be a thing for the Beats generation.Īside from that, the general style of the headphones is decent. That means that headphones shipped with a phone have something with more cred than "Samsung" written on them. Which is perhaps a part of the reason Samsung bought Harman and all its audio brands.ĪKG might not be the best-known brand in the world, but anyone who loves live music or takes an interest in music will have seen AKG's logo on microphones and headphones. Samsung's name is liked and respected in many categories, but I suspect that most young people wouldn't choose to buy Samsung headphones.

There's a number of websites claiming to be selling them, but why the massive price difference? Is the former merely something that looks similar but performs like sh*t? Now, I don't know if you can buy those exact ones and if so where.
I fear I may have lost my AKG earbuds, and as such I was trying to see if I could find a replacement for them online as I quite liked them.
