Rank 8 out of 17Stiftung Warentest17 Bluetooth Kopfhörer 06/2017ReleaseJune 2017

Anpassungsfähig. Besonders einfach aufzusetzen und an die Kopfform anzupassen. Der AKG klingt etwas dumpf, mit leicht dröhnendem Bass. Der Einschalter ist unbeschriftet, daneben sitzt das wie eine Blindtaste aussehende Mikrofon. Der Kopfhörer ist erhältlich in den Farben Blau, Schwarz und Silber.

Alle beim Y50 beschriebenen Eigenschaften gelten auch beim Y50BT, den Unterschied macht die drahtlose Verbindung zum Smartphone via Bluetooth. Das Pairing klappt mühelos und eine Micro-USB-Ladebuchse entbindet auf Reisen von einem weiteren proprietären Ladegerät. Mehr als 20 Stunden Akkulaufzeit verspricht AKG, wofür wir intern die volle Punktzahl vergeben...
