Every manufacturer seems to be after a slice of the headphones market and AKG's approach with the Y50 on-ears is very savvy indeed. When we started testing the AKG Y50 headphones we assumed they were in the £150 price category based on their finish alone...

When you think of fashion headphones, you're likely to think straight away to Dr Dre's mammoth Beats empire - but a pair of those cans come at a hefty price. The Austrian audio boffins at AKG have been hard at work on their latest headphones, and the Y50...
The AKG Y50 headphones are loud. Not just in their sound quality, but in their bright and bold appearance. Ours arrived with bright taxicab yellow ear cups with slick black highlights, and they look like they can easily go toetotoe with Dr Dre's Beats in...

It only takes a passing glance to see these are AKG's handiwork. The ‘AKG' lettering boldly brandished across the Y50s' colourful red, yellow, teal or (less colourful) black ear cups is certainly a talking point of these on-ears – a top-end model in AKG'...

Otherwise, the Y50s don't put a foot wrong as a pair of portable cans.Though the funky design had us thinking they might be style-over-substance Beat wannabes, it's just a smokescreen for what's another great-sounding pair of AKG headphones...
