• So I am thinking of going for the AKG on ear bluetooth. I register that there is little love for AKG on here, but I am so happy with the neat foldability of my non-BT AKGs that I would be hard pressed to go for something more substantial, i.e. something I could't slip into my jacket pocket.

    However, before I drop my dosh on these, are there other very packable/portable bluetooth headphones I should know about? I potentially have a larger budget than what the AKGs cost.

    EDIT: Perhaps these instead actually. Not tried them on tho'

  • The thing that struck me about those when I was looking them is that there aren't actually any pictures of them on people's ears in all the marketing bumpf. When I looked at them in person they were bigger than I expected so I'd have a look at them first.

    The Sennheiser Momentum on-ear fold up small-ish but not really small, needs a decent sized coat pocket

    My favoured small, BT headphones are these https://www.whathifi.com/sennheiser/pxc-310-bt/review but you have to get them second-hand now (I like them so much that I've stocked up on multiple pairs from ebay).

    Alternatively you can get one of these and just use your current headphones (although still some wires) https://www.amazon.co.uk/FiiO-Bluetooth-Receiver-Built-Support/dp/B07D8K76F4

  • I bought the AKG Y50BTs as my first set of bluetooth headphones - they're alright, but have a really bad design in that the power button gets knocked when you fold them up so they're constantly turning themselves on when you put them in a bag etc...drove me mad trying to watch something on the phone once home and having to go back to my bag to turn them off so the sound would work!

    As would be expected for on-ear they leak sound far more than over-ear. I've actually switched over to the Momentums that @aggi has mentioned and am much happier with those, but they certainly don't pack small either.

    The in-ear Momentums could be an option if you want wireless and packable (that aren't as easy to lose as the totally wireless pod design)?
