New in 2024: AKG N9 Hybrid

[Hephaestus]

It seems that AKG is making a comeback in to the noise cancelling Bluetooth headphone space: N9 Hybrid

Hopefully comes with great tuning! @Sean Olive ?
Design looks really good. This has 2.4GHz dongle in addition to Bluetooth.
I will order this for sure as I like NC700M2.

They are supposed to be tuned HARMAN AE 2018 Target. I have not measured a sample yet.

I heard a DV2 sample in December when I visited our labs in Shenzhen, China. They appeared to be balanced, comfortable and had decent ANC performance. I compared them to Sony , Apple and Bose ANC headphones in an anechoic chamber with noise and environmental sounds reproduced through four speakers to simulate a semi-DF field.
