Y50, because Ynot?
First off, I have only ever owned a pair of Panasonic ErgoFit in ears and SoundPeats QY7. I used to own a gaming headset (Xiberia E1) which was a very disappointing product lacking in both sound quality and reliability. The Y50 produces the clearest and cleanest sounds compared to all the above. Instruments are sharp but not harsh. Bass is mild but tight. The highs are airy. The mids, to me, is where it truly shines. The sound these headphone produces belies it's diminutive size. Putting on the headphones and listening to the AKG Y50 for the first time was surprisingly immersive. The sound it produces seems so much larger than its actual physical size. It reminds me of my first experience with headphones as a small boy. The only downside is how it clamps against the ears. The discomfort is barely noticeable, but after a couple hours, my ears get sore as the cartilage is pressed against the spectacle frame. However, the battery life is amazing. My old Bluetooth earphones will die long before discomfort became an issue. The soundstaging of the Y50 is not as good as a carefully set up stereo system, but it is close.
For sound quality, I wouldrank the Xiberia E1 as 1 star, the Panasonic ErgoFit as 3 stars, the SoundPeats QY7 also 3 stars, and the AKG Y50 as a solid 5 stars.

Works as stated
Works great for my key fob! Batteries like this can be hard to find but thanks to the product title, I know what to look for.

Built tough
The construction is sturdy and the metal plate has some heft to it, that means this keyboard is not going to scoot around so easily. I thought I will be taking a compromise on the lack of dedicated media buttons, but you can choose to invert the Fn keys and use Print Screen Scroll Lock and Pause as mute, volume up and volume down respectively. It is easy to get used to it since the media keys are almost always on the top right corner in any other keyboard and this is no exception (well, the Fn keys). RomerG is a joy to use, feels great for gaming and typing out this review.
