This deal has now expired. The headphones have returned to £59.99 on Amazon, though – good news – that is still a truly excellent price (less than half the RRP) for these superb five-star AKG wireless headphones, so in our opinion, they're still worth snapping up if your budget allows.

You've just landed on one of the best headphones deals we've seen this year – the five-star AKG Y500 Wireless are now only £44.92 at Amazon.

Juggling good sound quality, clever features, durable build quality and an attractive design in equal measure is no mean feat, but AKG pulls it off while making it look easy" – that's what we said of them in our five-star review. Make no mistake, this is a great deal on a five-star pair of AKG wireless on-ear headphones.

These impressive wireless headphones are both durable and stylish, smartly minimalist and small enough to squeeze into a pocket. A button on the earcup connects you to your smartphone's voice assistant, and the Y500 automatically pause music when you slip them off, too. Most importantly, their sound is pleasingly musical – spacious, rhythmic and detailed. Rich in features, strong on battery life and easy to control, the Y500 are great all-rounders.

In our AKG Y500 review, we concluded: "The Y500 Wireless headphones are hugely appealing to use and listen to – you won’t find a similar wireless headphone experience that wraps every element together so neatly at this price."

Now that the original price has dropped to as little as £44.92, they're nothing short of a must-buy.
