The multi-point connection lets you easily switch between a call on your phone and a Zoom meeting on your desktop, while Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair allow for a smooth experience when connecting with multiple devices. The AKG N9 Hybrid headphones connect via Bluetooth® with any Apple, Android, or Windows device.

Hi-Res quality AKG sound

40mm dynamic drivers with Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) diaphragms deliver wide-range detail and brilliant dynamic sound with ultralow distortion and fast transient response. Bass is rich and precise, vocals are clear and accurate, and the high notes are vividly lifelike. In addition, the AKG N9 Hybrid headphones support Hi-Res Audio both via the 3.5mm jack cable and wirelessly via BT. Thanks to the LDAC, which ensures outstanding 24-bit high-performance sound, every detail is in stunning definition, closer than ever to studio quality.

Immersive AKG Spatial Audio

Along with powerful AKG Reference Sound, the AKG N9 Hybrid headphones turn any stereo content from any device into virtual surround sound. The wide soundstage and detailed placement of the instruments and vocals makes your favorite music feel even more transportive, delivering a more detailed, realistic and immersive experience.

True Adaptive Noise Cancelling with custom control

Use the top quality True Adaptive Noise Cancelling technology—which is customizable through the App—to decide exactly how much of the outside world you want to hear. With Auto Compensation, six mics automatically detect environmental noise and make real-time adjustments. Or you can manually select your preferred ANC level. When you don’t want to interrupt your flow, tune out your surroundings entirely with Noise Cancelling, which automatically adapts to the level of noise around you.

Zoom certified superior call quality

4 virtual adaptive beamforming microphones (2 on each earcup) constantly monitor the noise level of your environment, so your voice is the only sound others will hear, on a phone call or a video conference. AI machine learning intelligently suppresses ambient noise based on your individual noise scenario. The hydrodynamic windproof design significantly reduces distortion from air friction to give you crystal-clear calls, even outdoors. AKG N9 Hybrid headphones are Zoom-certified, guaranteeing high-quality communication and full functional compatibility with the leading video conferencing app. And the LED indicator on the dongle lets you immediately know whether you are muted or not.

Customizable call experience

Open the AKG Headphones app and use the voice setting to fine-tune your voice for meetings, presentations, or even performances. You can also use sound setting to add more bass or treble to other people’s voices. A sound level optimizer adjusts the volume of others, so you’ll never have to ask someone to speak up or tell them they’re talking too loud. Finally, Voice Aware fine-tunes the amount of your own voice that you hear when so speak, so you won’t disturb others by talking too loudly in a crowded coffee shop or subway car.

Smart Talk*

The sound will automatically pause when you start talking, so you can have a quick chat with your headphones on.

Ultra comfort and ingenious design

The ultra-lightweight band and cushioned earcups are comfortable enough to let you enjoy heightened clarity and undistorted pure sound all day, every day. Whenever you’re not using the supplied USB dongle, it fits neatly into the left earcup—never misplaced, always within reach. The volume can be easily controlled by turning the earcup knob.

AKG Headphones app

Use the AKG Headphones app to quickly set up the most realistic sound for your movies, music, and games. Also, you can personalize your audio chat settings, adjust the amount of ambient sound you want to hear, and set up a custom hearing program with Personi-Fi 2.0.
