Harman AKG K830BT Wireless Bluetooth Headset (Black) review: Harman AKG K830BT Wireless Bluetooth Headset (Black)

Harman AKG K830BT Wireless Bluetooth Headset (Black)

It's easy to pair the ; headphones with any Bluetooth-enabled device, and the rechargeable battery can last for several days of normal use before running out.

These expensive headphones can't escape the aural limitations of Bluetooth in its current form.

The AKG K 830 BT headphones offer a simple wireless solution for music lovers sick of tangled headphone cords, but the underwhelming Bluetooth audio fidelity isn't worth the overambitious price.

AKG K830BT Bluetooth Headphones Review

The K830BT wireless headphones have an impeccable pedigree, seeing as how they come from the well respected audio equipment manufacturer AKG. Let's see if they live up to their lineage.

Fully wireless via Bluetooth with onboard music / phone controls ; Microphone works well for calls ; Appealingly retro look

Sound quality is average at best, needs bass ; Occasional dropout / streaming glitch ; Should realistically be priced at half of the SRP, or maybe even less

EDIT: This review has been changed since its publication date to reflect a corrected price of P12,990 instead of P10,990.

Review: AKG K 830 BT Bluetooth Headphones Get High Marks For Controls And Comfort, But A2DP Is Still A Compromise On Sound

Unfortunately, this is where the 830 BT's didn't do a lot to impress me when compared to a wired headset. The thing to remember, though, is that this device is targeting a pretty particular market with its Bluetooth connectivity, so let's start our...
