Samsung and AKG unveiled a new line of wireless headphones that range from large over the ear models to compact in-ear ones.
AKG N700NC over the ear
Soft ear cushions with memory foam promise a high level of comfort while the Adaptive Noise Canceling tech can block out outside sounds (you can adjust how much).
The AKG N700NC offer a flat-foldable design for easy portability and up to 20 hours of wireless playback with noise cancellation enabled (or 36 hours for wired playback with NC on).

AKG Y500 on-ear
The AKG Y500 can pair with two devices, allowing you to easily switch between listening to something on your phone to something else on your computer. The headphones can detect when you take them off and will automatically pause playback.
Theres no noise cancellation on this pair, but they have Ambient Aware a feature that can mix in outside sounds with your audio so you can hear whats going on around you.
