Our Verdict

Sony WI-SP600N Wireless

AKG N200

If neutral sound is your most important criteria, then the AKG N200 are the better option against the Sony WI-SP600N Wireless. The AKG have a better wireless range and a noticeably lower latency. On the other hand, the Sony are noise-canceling and will be a better choice for commuting if you need to block out ambient noise. The Sony also have a companion app with a 5-band EQ to customize the sound to your liking.
