Product FAQ for AKG N700NC M2 Over-Ear Foldable Wireless Headphones:

Q: How is this different than the first model, the AKG N700NC?
A: Samsung implemented several suggestions from users into the M2 model, including longer battery life (23 hours vs. 20 hours), USB-C charging, improved call quality with dual microphones, full compatibility with Apple devices, and sound amplification.

Q: Does the active noise cancellation feature cause eardrum pressure?
A: The pressure is far less than with Bose QC35 II headphones and less than Sony XM3s or XM4s. If ANC is your priority, go with those. If great sound quality with functional ANC is your priority, go with these headphones. They sound much better than Bose or Sony.

Q: Can these headphones be used with a Samsung TV?
A: Yes, if the TV has Bluetooth capabilities. Otherwise, a Bluetooth receiver can be purchased and plugged into the Audio Out Port in the back of the TV to connect the headphones.

Q: Can you still hear the TV volume with the headset on or off?
A: No, once connected via Bluetooth, the regular TV audio is turned off.

Q: Is the headphone jack on the left or right side?
A: The power button and jack are on the right side, and the volume buttons are on the left.

A: Volume can be adjusted in Bluetooth mode but not in wired mode.

Q: Does the USB-C port support audio or just charging?
A: The port is for charging only.

Q: Can ANC be turned off through a button?
A: There is a pass-through button that allows for hearing voices and announcements while dropping music volume, but ANC cannot be turned off completely while listening to music at full volume. The headphones use adaptive ANC that adjusts to the sound level of the surroundings.
