I am hearing impaired, e.g. I wear hearing aids (hard of hearing, but not deaf although they my wife would say I am deaf). So I where I work I am on the phone a lot and it&rsquo;s way more comfortable ton use headphones as opposed to a handset. However one of my biggest issues has been finding a headset that can provide me the volume level and block outside noises and can provide good call quality for kotbjust me but the phone recipient on the other and side. So after testing traditional headphones and wireless headsets from Plantronics to Sennheiser, I mean I tried literally over 40 different pairs of headphones (from traditional to Audiophile) and couldn&rsquo;t find the right combination of headphones and mic that would allow me to have a great call so I could be heard well and also hear well while blocking out my office environment. What I landed with initially was the MW60 because they have a great external boom mic you can hook up to them. That worked well for a while but then I started losing more of my hearing so I went back at it trying to find headphones that can give me what I needed to work well on the phone. The long and short I found the N90Q and absolutely love them. It was the right combo of volume and noise cancellation while hooked up to my Master and Dynamic Boom Mic. The only issue I had was that the boom mic has a 3.5 mm male but the N90Q is a 2.5 mm female. So luckily I found a company that was able to creat a modded adapter that would allow me to use both (gear the call and be heard through my boom mic). Unfortunately thebafapters I bought didn&rsquo;t work so I had to get a special order adapter. Nonetheless, this is the traditional way to use high end headphones but I am sure grateful I found these. If these headphones ever go bad I&rsquo;ll be sure to come back to AKG!!!!</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2018-07-31</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2018-07-31" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="173808856"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">franklyspeaking</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Effortless</span> <span itemprop="description">Long haul flights are now a real pleasure!

The N90Q is the Jurassic Park of head phones and not because of man eating Dinosaurs it's because they literally &quot;sparred no expense&quot;.

However, please take note of the following:&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;1. Digital Audio on android depends on the phone make and model. So it&#39;s best to confirm this first.&#13;&#10;2. This also applies to the USB Type-C adapters, because they&#39;re non-standardized, some adapters only work with analog signals and vice versa.
