Our Verdict

Bose SoundSport Wireless

AKG N200

The Bose SoundSport Wireless and the AKG N200 are two similar headphones that have good audio quality, but the Bose have a small edge over the AKG. Their semi-open design makes them more open-sounding, but this also means they barely isolate any noise. Also, the Bose have a slightly more comfortable earbud-like design. However, their cable feels thin and flimsy, and their controls are hard to register. Meanwhile, the AKG feel well-built due to their braided cable and dense magnetic earbuds.
