I bought these in the past for my daughter to use at University. Decided to buy a pair for myself to help cope with the COVID 19 lockdown; around the house and binge watching Netflicks/Amazon Prime/Disney plus etc..
I have wired Sennheiser Momentum 2 headphones which, in my opinion, have better sound than other more expensive brands. I am very pleased with theses AKGs which are almost as good. The N60 NCs have good clarity, decent sound separation and have the added benefit of noise cancellation.
Real bonus; I can't believe how comfortable they are. The N60 NCs are lighter and put less pressure on my ears than the Momentum 2s which makes extended listening a real joy. Not had any issues with battery life which at 15 hours should be more than enough for most people. Just remember to charge them up overnight.
Being wireless I can wear them all round the house and are delighted with them. I have Cambridge Audio Melomania 1s wireless earbuds which have decent sound, but nowhere near as good as the AKGs. The Melomania 1s are less comfortable but have the advantage of being sweat proof so have been relegated to gym use and ideal for long sessions on the exercise bike.
In summary, the sound quality is excellent for a pair of on-ears, noise cancellation is good but for me, the real bonus is how very comfortable they are.
Highly recommend them.

They have broken already!!
By Grantham on 30 October 2020
These are really nice headphones in terms of audio quality. However, as can be seen from the photo above, they have broken already. I have contacted the seller who tells me over and over that I have contacted their US branch and they have passed me onto their European branch (really!!) and someone will contact me within 48 hours. Well, call me a cynic but I'm not holding my breath as no response at all from 'Harman Audio'. Mark from Customer Support, Harman Lifestyle Division wrote me a nice email saying someone would deal with the issue, but alas nothing; So that's a big fat zero for customer support from me!! I know from previous experience that Amazon will claim that 'it's not their problem' So here we go again. Pity as I really like the headphones!!
