One handy feature means these AKG headphones just became my go-to for gaming and movies, not just music

The AKG N9 (also called the AKG N9 'Hybrid' by the company) are some of the most feature-packed headphones I’ve ever tested. They have a range of ANC modes, useful on-cup touch controls and an included USB-C dongle to instantly get high-res audio from a new device. They also sound great and look fantastic, although a high price and sadly-inflexible design may put off some buyers.

AKG N9: Two minute review

As someone who tests headphones for an income, I've got a roster of "X headphones" for specific tasks. I've got my best headphones for music, my running headphones, a gaming headset, a pair of the best earbuds when it's too hot for headphones, and a set-up for movies and TV shows too.
