Samsung Introduces New AKG Wireless Headphones in the United States

Once you are ready to upgrade beyond the inexpensive headphones provided with your phone, it can be difficult to find what to buy. Samsung wants to make this process easier, which is why it brings three new headphones to listen to AKG audio legends in the United States.

The stars of the show are the AKG N700NC, which, as its name suggests, comes with built-in active noise suppression. You can even control the amount of outside noise you want to let in, which is handy if you wear it in public and want to make sure you can hear what's going on around you. The headphones are silver and offer up to 20 hours of playback, but the time of use depends on the volume of listening and noise reduction.

This model automatically pauses and resumes playback when you remove them and turn them back on, and offers up to 33 hours of playback. Y500s are available in black, blue, pink and green. The Y100 is an in-ear model that offers up to eight hours of playback and comes in the same colors as the Y500.
