Our Verdict
Jaybird Tarah Pro Wireless
AKG N200 Wireless
The Jaybird Tarah Pro Wireless are more versatile headphones than the AKG N200. While the AKG have a slightly better sound quality, the Jaybird have a better isolating fit, which makes them ideal for commuting and at the office. The Jaybird also have unique rotating earbuds that let you wear the cable normally or over your ear. They are also compatible with the Jaybird MySound app which offers a good EQ. The Jaybird also have a longer battery life and a proper IPX7 rating, which is great for sports.
