Product description

'Like a Great Mini-Speaker' With the AKG K490 NC headphones, you can take full advantage of the company's active noise-cancelling technology at an affordable price. And you don't sacrifice sound quality for noise cancellation. These headphones perform superbly whether you're listening to them in active noise cancelling or passive mode. 'The AKG K 490 NC is the least expensive headphone pair with this level of audio performance and noise cancellation we have ever tested, period,' reports PCMag.com for February 15, 2012. The magazine awarded the AKG its Editors' Choice Award with an overall rating of 'Excellent.' 'Like a great mini-speaker, it's light on the bass, ultra-clear in the mids and treble, and wonderfully spacious-sounding,' notes Brent Butterworth in his march 9, 2012 review for Sound&Vision magazine. 'Finding this level of sound quality in such a small form factor will be a relief for those who want great sound.'

Continuous sound

Even when the K490 NCs’ built-in battery has run dry, the supplied bypass cable lets you continue to listen to your audio. You can’t do that with most other noise-cancelling headphones.
Unique, 3D-Axis folding mechanism

Fold them up and take them with you. The K490 NCs’ 3D-Axis folding mechanism is great for those who want to take great sound wherever they go.
Light weight and soft leather pads

Thanks to the K490 NCs’ soft leather ear pads, you’ll barely know that you’re wearing headphones. This feature, coupled with the headphones’ extremely light weight, is ideal for extended listening experiences.
Carrying case and flight adapter included

Transporting your K490 NCs is easy. The included case is small and works with the headphones’ slim, foldable form factor. We’ve also included a flight adapter, which gives you more listening options when traveling.
