I bought some AKG’s today, the Y50BT (Bluetooth. AptX).

Out the box no bass and horrid, starting to sound better, using them wired but have hires Bluetooth plans in the future. Lead is about 1.2m long so far too short but uses a 2.5mm stereo socket so need to hunt about for a longer lead.

Argos actually sell them labelled as C50BT, identical to the Y50BT but much, much cheaper :o

Just to confirm Shevans' comments, in case anyone wants at least half-decent sound on the move via Bluetooth at a knockdown price:

Confirmation (possibly) of the model, being the same as the twice-as-expensive Y50BT: https://www.boards.ie/b/thread/2057832273

And the link to buy at Argos:

Hope this isn't shilling... I don't work for Argos. Worth pointing out a bargain!

Um ok ive been listening over the last two days & the conclusion is im sticking with the AKG 'K141, Mk.II' I like the sound of them compared to a hand ful of other AKG ive had.. Best bit is they only cost me £50 2nd hand, Minto condition, Dead easy to drive, Detachable lead with mini XLR & Velour Ear pads as well as the leatherette jobbies.. They just suit the Music i listen & headphone unit i use..

:dance:
