AKG launches true wireless buds with active noise cancelling tech

AKG has launched a new set of true wireless earbuds that rival the Galaxy Buds+ its parent company Samsung launched earlier this year. Unlike their in-house competitors, the AKG N400s ($178) boast Active Noise Cancellation technology and 12 hours of battery life in a single charge – compared to the 11 hours offered by the Buds+. The fast-charging battery can also deliver 1 hour of playback after a 10 minute charge, and can be maxed out in just 2 hours. Google Assistant and Bixby support also bring smart helpers into the mix, while touch controls make interacting with the in-ears a doddle. The N400’s are currently only listed on the Samsung Korea website (thanks for the spot TizenHelp), but will hopefully make their way to other markets soon.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
