Airpod Pro Killers
Airpod Pro killers. I don't say this lightly. I have been looking for Airpod Pro killers for a while, and believe I've finally found them here. What is wrong with the Airpod Pros? They sound "ok". That's it. Everything else about them is great (ok maybe I'd like enough battery life to get me from TSA checkpoint at airport 1 to the parking lot of airport 2, but I really don't mind charging for 10 minutes every 5 hours). But the sound quality is just ok. What I wanted was Airpod Pros with better sound, if that was even possible. I feel like I've mostly found that here. The AKG N400s sound great. I have two sets of IEMs that I use regularly besides the N400 and Airpod Pros; Fiio FH5, and Moondrop Blessing 2. The Fiios are on a set of Bluetooth ear hooks (Fiio UTWS3), and the Moondrops are used wired. The N400s sound noticeably better than the Airpod Pros. This isn't like a little bit here or there, you don't have to listen really closely, it's readily apparent that there is more detail, more soundstage, more immersion. They are tuned to Harman, and so are a little bit more "exciting" than Airpod Pros, but I think the transducers are actually better, and possibly the electronics as well. They are bigger so none of that is too shocking. I'm not going to go into more about sound, I just find them to sound much better. To my ears, the N400s sound very close to the Fiio FH5 on the Bluetooth ear hooks. FH5 are $200 wired IEMs that don't have an amplifier, a DAC chip, and a Bluetooth chip (or all of that on one chip), along with a battery, taking up space inside your ear, their only job is to sound good, and the N400 comes extremely close to sounding the same even with all of that other stuff included. Incredible. The N400 don't come close to the Blessing 2s, but if you are familiar with the Moondrops you know they are $320 wired IEMs that are regularly considered the best IEMs under $1,000, so that is expected. I include this just to demonstrate that I'm not crazy or a shill. On that note, I have owned and listened to the N400s for several weeks now, this is not a first impression review. Everyone loves everything the day they get it. Those reviews are worthless. I've had some time to think about these and I think they are awesome. What about the other stuff. Well, the Airpod Pros are mostly better at everything else, but these are so close that I choose them for the sound quality. The noise cancellation is good, I would say that the electronics are worse than the Airpod Pros, but they are more normal fitting IEMs and therefore get a better seal than Airpod Pros do, so the end result is the same. The "transparency mode," here called "ambient aware," is not as good as the Airpod Pros. There is a hiss that can be heard whenever its on, and you only hear it in this mode (so its not a Bluetooth hiss, its a hiss only in this mode). It does what it needs to do. If music is on its not a big deal, if music isn't on, take it out of your ears. The app is ok. It takes a few seconds to connect every time you open it. There is a full-up equalizer in there, which is great if you don't like the Harman tuning. Airpod Pros don't have an equalizer (that sound test thing where you pick between three profiles is not the same thing). Sometimes the app doesn't work. I almost never use the app though. The controls are also worse than the Airpod Pros, but I rarely use the controls. The "taps" work very well, the "swipes" don't. The problem is you don't have full control over what actions you assign to what inputs. Tapping the right ear starts/stops/answers calls, etc. That works great. Tapping the left ear does nothing, and can not be made to do anything. If you want to control noise cancellation from the earbuds, you have to assign it to a "swipe" on the left ear. This is extremely unreliable for me, it usually takes me 5-10 tries to get it to work, therefore it's useless because by then I've taken it out of my ear. Fortunately, I almost never want a mode other than "noise cancellation on," and the IEMs remember the previous setting. So mine live with it on and I don't bother changing it unless I'm in the app. That works for me, but could be a dealbreaker if you want to switch between modes without going into the app. This is probably the biggest problem with the N400s. Changing volume is a similar swipe on the right bud, and works similarly poorly. I am so used to using my phone for volume from the Airpod Pros that I don't care about this at all, but I know a lot of people want to control volume from the buds. The phone has tactile volume buttons on it, and is in your pocket or nearby; I don't get why people want to change volume on their IEMs, but if that's you, maybe pass on the N400. The microphone is fine, you can make calls on it. It has DSP noise cancellation on the microphone that works well enough. Better than most things, worse than the Airpod Pros. These are for music first, and conference calls second, but I wouldn't hesitate to use them for that if they were what I had on hand. Battery life is also ok. 5 hours with noise cancellation on. If they die, put them in the case for 5 minutes, your ears can use the rest. Speaking of the case, there is a lot of words about how they go in the case backwards. If you're at a level where you can't perform the "switch em around" operation in your head on "left and right," these may not be for you. They are pretty comfortable. They go in your ears deeper than Airpod Pros, but average for normal IEMs. They may be less comfortable for you if you can only tolerate the shallow fit of the Airpod Pros. But deeper fitting IEMs mean more passive noise cancellation, and a better seal for bass. It also means the volume can be lower and therefore the battery life can be better (not that it is here). One note on fit that I didn't realize until I got them; look at the picture, see that little wing on the top that looks like its to make the IEM from going airborne above 120mph? That is dumb. But it may be great for you if IEMs always fall out of your ear when you run or something. The good news is AKG includes multiple sets of wings that can replace that, and the smallest one makes it almost non-existant. So for me the racing spoiler is a point against these, but it came with a mitigation in the box, and may actually be a huge plus for others. So in conclusion, the sound quality is much better than the Airpod Pros, and the controls, interface, and functionality are a little bit worse. If that sounds like something you're looking for, this is for you. Also, shop around on price if you know what I mean. There is a mind-numbingly good deal for these exactly where you'd expect to purchase AKG items made by AKG from AKG.

Nothing Else Matters... except that it does.
As of the current time of this review, I have used this product daily for 4 months since purchased. If we're talking only about the main point of what this product is built to be and to be used for and that is an iem, for listening to whatever your heart desires, its sound quality is fantastic; comparable to competitions that's near double (actually near quadruple and let me explain why in a moment) its price point. Listening to music ranging from classical, opera to Mongolian death metal (all in lossless flac file to keep consistency), compared to the Sony wf-1000xm4 and Samsung Galaxy buds pro 2, which are more mid boosted, the AKG n400 are more neutral sounding, punchy but not bloated accurate bass. Its sound profile is closest to that of the harman target curve if that is what you're interested in. Any of these three products is better than the Sennheiser True Momentum Wireless 2 (a real shame as their headphones are phenomenal) in my opinion. Those sounds like a muddled mess, muffled by layer of tissues or something. So we conclude that all in all, it sounds great. Nothing else matters, that's it right?.. Right? Unfortunately not. Unfortunately- or fortunately, we live in the modern times where we expect more from a wireless iem/pods than just music; or we'd still be using audio superiority wired connections and this is where the praise and the pros stops, the cons and the rants begin. What the AKG n400 excels in, lacks in everything else; connectivity, accessibility, functionality, and even portability. There is a reason why this product was originally around $50 (hence why I mentioned its $200 comparisons were near quadruple the price). Can you imagine a product marked up as around 50 bucks is now easily sold as more than doubled? It has some of the worse connection issues I've experienced using. It works as a master/slave type connection, so you are only limited to using the right ear bud by itself. The only time the left ear bud works by itself while the right is charging is if the charging case remains open (and you cannot stray far from it) and I suspect it's because of the right one is still active while charging in the case. This limits you as well due to the left and right ear buds have a set of non interchangeable gesture functions. Ie. The left bud is can only use the swiping gesture which is only for Ambience OR "talk thru" sound settings whereas the right uses swipe(only for volume control), tap(can only be used for play/pause function) , double tap (either manually set to have the same function as the left bud swipe function OR to skip forward to next song), and triple tap (only for rewind/previous song function). So if you are using just the right ear bud, you lose out on the ambient sound function unless you have it set as double tap, in which case you sacrifice the forward/next song function. Very often, when you take both ear buds out the case for use, only the right side would pair; leaving you with a dead left until you put both buds back in the charging case, closed for a few seconds to reset and try again. The software app that the AKG N400 uses doesn't automatically connect when you use the earbuds. You have to manually open the app in which, will disconnect the earbuds and reconnects again. Honestly, you don't even need to open the app unless you need to change some settings. Sometimes, when I take the earbuds out to use and set it on ambient sound mode (to hear the surrounding outside noises), it would glitch out and all the gesture functions stops working. I would then have to put both earbuds back into the charging case to reset in order for it to function properly. Never dropped it before, I chalk this up as terrible connectivity/ software problems. The case itself is pretty bulky compared to the Samsung Galaxy buds pro 2 and the Apple earpods. If you wear slim fitted pants or jeans or any slim/ skinny jeans, it WILL bulk out. Another gripe- albeit small compared to the other problems, is the earbuds placement in the case. The right bud goes in the left socket, and the left goes in the right socket.. WHY?! Ladies and gentlemen, it is with heavy heart that I give this only 3 star in my opinion, even though I'm a big AKG fan boy (the brand holds a special place in my heart as its headphones; the 70x series paired with my Halo Claro amp/pre amp sound card listening on Foobar2000 with my lossless flac files and 320 kbps were my first ever experience with higher fidelity and it made me cry), so people with less bias compared to me may find the ratings even worse. Disappointing that many highly acclaimed audio brands makes such subpar wireless iems. This included.
