When it comes to accessories, Samsung is at the top of its game and this time, we got our hands on the Samsung ANC Type-C Earphones tuned by AKG.
Not in the mood for a write-up? Here’s a video for you:
Design and Material
The lower half of the cable preceding the Y-splitter is wrapped in cloth to prevent tangling which is what we’ve been seeing with earphones that come with the latest S series, while the cables that diverge from it are coated in rubberized material. For me, I feel the cloth material should have gone all the way up the Y-splitter because it makes it more durable.
Interrupting the right cable is the three-button mic and remote module for control.
The AKG branded frames retain a manageable shape with angled nozzles that prevent irritation. The cable descending from either earbud is ergonomically positioned to minimize friction at the ear, which makes wearing them even more comfortable.
In the box, there are extra ear tips and wingtips of different sizes to improve comfort, sound clarity and noise isolation. So you can choose the right fit by working up from the smallest size.
Listening indoors
My experience with the volume levels was an “ear-opener” because I noticed that the higher the increase in volume level, the more unenjoyable the music became. With the volume on 70%, being the best volume to enjoy your listening experience, on a frequency that is balanced.
Listening Outdoors, Noise Cancellation
Incredible Noise Cancellation. The World Health Organization advocates for safe listening, using fitted and noise-cancelling earphones that are suited to the individual user, which allows music to be heard clearly at lower levels of volume. With that, the noise-cancelling earphones cut down the background noise, so that users can hear sounds at lower volumes than otherwise needed.
We got to test the earphones outdoors with ambient noises. The result? These earphones boast of you “enjoying listening to the music, and not the noise”.
So who gets to use the Samsung ANC earphones? Broadly speaking, anyone whose phone has a USB type-c jack can use this accessory.
