About the AKG Y 50
Bold style, bold sound
The AKG Y 50 headphones feature clear sound, deep bass, and a cool on-ear design (shown in Yellow).
Bold style, bold sound
When I first saw the AKG Y 50 headphones in our vendor training room, they caught me a little off guard. Most of their headphones feature styling that's more muted. That's no surprise, as AKG always puts sound quality first. But the Y 50 headphones flash a little more color and sport an oversized logo. With over 65 years of audio excellence under their belt, AKG has a right to be loud and proud. That doesn't mean these headphones are all style, no substance. Their 40mm drivers deliver clear, dynamic sound with a little extra punch in the bass frequencies. The compact on-ear design is ideal for on-the-go listening as well as being extremely comfortable. Prefer something more understated? They're available in all-black, too.
Universal remote and mic
Some headphones feature an in-line remote and microphone that are designed for one brand of phone. The Y 50 headphones feature a universal remote and mic, so you can control music playback and take calls with almost any smartphone. The cable is even detachable should you ever need to replace it. There's also a 1/4" plug adapter included for use with home stereo gear, as well as a travel pouch for easy storage of these folding headphones.

I think these are great headphones, especially for the price. I purchased a pair for myself, then my daughter was looking for headphones, so I had her try mine. She was thinking about Dr. Dre's, but after wearing mine for a while she asked me to order these for her. Great product.
