          AKG Y40 vs AKG Y50 - User Opinions

            Unlike the plasticky Y40, the Y50 is more metal. The adjustable band is also a glossy aluminum which feels more sturdy. The padding on the headband though is a bit limited and only covers a small portion of the top of your head unlike the Y40 with a wider padding that extends to the sides.Jan 30, 2015
