AKG N90Q Headphone Review

in #sound7 years ago (edited)

My current go-to headphones are my AKG N90Q headphone. They are strong, compact, great looking, and great sounding headphones. They feature a sound that is in keeping with the signature sound that you would expect from AKG. You will also be able to take calls if you are listening to music on your smartphone. Although these headphones may not be for some people. And they are not as critically acclaimed as other headphones siblings, the Y50 and the Y60’s. But they have won a few awards and they are my current favourites set of cans. Read on and I will tell you why…

Good Looking
The AKG N90Q headphones are seriously good looking. Headphones this size are choice of the premium with high quality. AKG has insisted on delivering their quality standard on these headphones. The materials are mostly hard plastic. The band being a matte finish while other parts have a gloss finish. The headband adjustment is stainless steel and has a number system for your convenience. The numbers on the stainless steel part aren’t necessary, but I do like the attention to detail. Nice Touch!

The ear pads are soft and comfortable and feel good. It’s probably high premium quality. There is also a small bit of padding on the inner side of the band. This is to give you some comfort and protection from the hard plastic band. The AKG N90Q is a bright black and gold that blends beautifully with the black padding and the black outer side of the earpieces. This is also where you will find the AKG logo.

Sound Quality and Comfort
The sound is great considering the size of these cans. The bass is deep and punchy. The mids are warm. And the highs are crisp. I have owned a few pairs of AKG headphones and the sound here is very much in keeping with the companies signature sound. That sound is a sound that is serious, yet a bit playful with a slightly exciting low end.
With N90Q is come with very high quality sound with HDAUDIO 96kHz and noise cancelling system.
You do get a taste of that great sound quality here, It will be easy to go from a great sounding Sennheiser or Beats headphones to these. By using EQ in other software will help you achieve a good sound which means that there is potential here. They are great for listening to music from music apps on your Phone or sound studio. The noise isolation is fair given that these are a miniature set of on-ear headphones.

Comfort
Because of the soft padding on the earpieces, the AKG N90Q headphones are very comfortable. The earpieces are big enough and sit on your ear. So this means that song listening will get very comfortable. The padding on the top of the band is sufficient but can also after long usage becomes a bit uncomfortable if not set correctly on your head.

Verdict
I certainly recommend this product to anyone who’s into headphones. They Perfect for travelling and for anyone who’s working with sound edition. My only concern is the price. These are supposed to be entry level headphones, but they do go for a premium price. There are brands like Skullcandy that offer higher end products at a similar if not lower price. That being said these are still great headphones. If you can get them on sale for a really good price like i did, then you should go for them.
