The AKG Y50BT are some of the best wireless headphones at the price. The Urbanista Seattle offer comparable sound quality for less money, but they also use lower-quality Bluetooth streaming and suffer significantly worse battery life.
The Y50 is another on-ear offering from the brand, although performs slightly better than the higher-priced Y45. The bluetooth connectivity is again superb and these appeared to hold charge better than the others, lasting a full week without ever hinting at a needing to be juiced up. Appearance wise, the branding on the ears is a little heavy but, saying that, the headset feels strongly built.
We are very impressed by the AKG Y50BTs. The company has managed to take one of our favourite products and cut the cord, while maintaining a high quality.
