BT on-ear recommendations and what’s happened to AKG?

[Eddie982002]

Hi

First time post on this forum but you seem like a friendly bunch, so hope you can help!

My daughter is interested in some Bluetooth on-ear headphones for about £75-£100. I instantly recommended AKG Y50BT, whch have been fine for me, are well made and should survive being mistreated for a few years.

Until recently they seemed quite easy to find but searching for any AKG stock online is proving difficult. Most of the well known HiFi stores no longer seem to stock AKG at all, Amazon stock is mainly through 3rd party sellers and eBay is a bit risky.

So, two questions...

What’s happened to AKG? Their presence is diminishing by the day.
Any recommendations for on-ear Bluetooth headphones for £75-£100, with or without NC.

Thanks

Bought by Samsung. The brains of the company went to Samsung's Harman Kardon division. The AKG brand is effectively dead.
