According to our headphones expert
The AKG Y50BT makes listening to music via a cable a thing of the past. These stylish headphones make a wireless connection via Bluetooth with your smartphone. This way, the cable will never get in the way when you're dancing or on your bike. Connect the headphones to a Bluetooth receiver and listen to music from your HiFi system in the garden or on the other side of the room. If you receive a phone call, you can take the call with 1 press of a button. You can also make hands-free calls via the integrated microphone. The integrated battery lasts up to 20 hours, allowing you to listen to your favorite music, problem-free, all day long.

I've had these headphones for about 3 to 4 months now. First of all, a round of applause to Coolblue for the adequate action when something went wrong with regard to the delivery. Now on to the headphones.
It's a headset that I use every day. I use it when I'm cycling (risky), in the train on the way to school and also at school when I'm editing something, for example, but also at home. It is risky to wear it in traffic because of. the good closure in terms of outside noise. This ensures that you sometimes miss a car or bus.
Sound Since most people look at this, I'll start with this first. I can actually describe the quality fairly easily. It's headphones that let me hear sounds of songs I've never heard before. Also for people who like a bass that is present, it is a nice headphone since it is well present. I am of course no audio expert, but for the average person these are headphones where the sound will certainly not disappoint.
wearing comfort In terms of wearing comfort, the headphones are also very pleasant. The ear pads ensure that they sit comfortably on your ears and do not slip off easily, although I do not recommend running with these headphones. The cushion on the top also ensures that the band does not press on your head, which I have had with other headphones and also got a headache. The strap is also adjustable, so you can adjust the perfect length for yourself, even if one ear is higher than the other ;).
Battery life This is one thing I was afraid of as the average bluetooth headphones can't get more than 9 hours on time. After reading a number of other reviews, that confidence was there. And I have to say, for the size this thing has, the battery life is very impressive. I can easily go a week to a week and a half with it while I listen to music every day for around 2 to 3 hours. The battery is also charged within a few hours. Keep in mind that this differs per adapter, since only the cable is included, you have to grab an adapter or charge it via the PC.
Connectivity Since this is also an important part of a bluetooth headset, I will also spend a part on this. You can listen to the music via a cable as well as via bluetooth. I personally prefer bluetooth because in my opinion there is more bass than via the cable, but this can also be due to my mobile (OnePlus 2). The cable is different from a standard 3.5 mm cable as it is smaller at the port of the headphones, but it does go into your phone as a 3.5 mm cable. If you lose the cable, it is difficult to replace it.
Other For the rest, the box that comes with it contains a bag that is just right in size to take the headphones with you. This phone also survives a little rainwater so far, although I do not recommend wearing it in pouring rain without protection. For the rest, it's just a very good headphone for anyone who is looking for headphones on a limited budget but still wants good sound quality
I hope you have benefited from my review and would like to thank coolblue again for the good service.

The sound is truly AMAZING! Too bad it looks like I'm Princess Leia from Star Wars, otherwise I'd dare to wear it on the street.

Very good bluetooth headphones, really beautiful sound.
Personally, I really like being able to listen to music without a cable.
Battery life very good.
But after some user experience the following two downsides:
Headphones are too bulky, heavy and loose to move around with. Sports or the like is absolutely not possible (not even "easy" strength training). If you bend over it will fall off. If you mostly sit still, it's fine.

There is a design flaw. When you put the headphones in the 'carry pouch' and put them in a backpack, for example, the ear cups (folded) constantly touch each other, hitting the on/off button. As a result, the headphones often switch on themselves when carrying them, which drains the battery without using it. This happens to me regularly, as I often carry the headphones in my backpack. (taking into account the headphones, will not be crushed or anything)
All in all, I am certainly happy with it, and I would recommend the headphone, but then you really have to take into account the limited mobility. And for the price they really shouldn't have had a design flaw like the one above..
