    [font=arial, sans-serif]Hi John,[/font]

    [font=arial, sans-serif]I (eventually) got the AKG headphones returned due to the recall and have received a refund. They are not offering any vouchers or discounts towards a replacement set as the voucher is UK only and ONLY through the Harman Kardon website. After almost a month of chasing them for the return details and assistance I have no interest in getting another pair from AKG.[/font]

    [font=arial, sans-serif]I am interested in Noise cancelling headphones and a friend of mine recommended the SONY WH1000XM2 models. I usually prefer the Over ear type anyway so these seem to fit the bill. [/font]

    [font=arial, sans-serif]Can you give me a price on this model and your recommendations on similar? I LOVED the audio on the AKG, but will not risk the possibility of having to deal with their customer services again.[/font]

    [font=arial, sans-serif]Regards,[/font]

    Hey Ryanno.

    Sorry to hear that AKG were not the best to deal with directly.

    I have not listened to the Sony's myself but they seem get a good reception online. They are currently priced at £299.00

    You could also perhaps have a look at the Sennheiser PXC550 also retailing at £299

    Or maybe even the Sennheiser M2 AEBT priced at £279.00

    Let me know what you think.
