Harman Kardon NC - Pros & Cons

Call quality was good in my test calls
sounds smooth
smooth
smooth
The build quality on these is marvelous
good industrial design
terrific audio quality
supercharged build quality
The NC are great
fantastic even
very durable and tangle-resistant
identical design and remarkably identical driver specifications
The build quality seems robust
The metal frame of the headband feels sturdy and durable
They handle most use cases and environments well enough to be versatile
earcups are very nicely padded
Perfect companion for enjoying your music without distractions
a solid and generally balanced and fairly accurate sound profile
Beats Studio Wireless is a pretty nice alternative
rigid build quality
stylish aesthetic
and equal loudness frequency response
The battery life is fairly impressive
Harman Kardon NCs are a pretty nice pair of headphones
look nice
they feel nice
and they sound nice
the rectangular design is much more comfortable
convenience
portability
and sound quality
active noise-canceling battery life is impressive as well

HARMAN KARDON NC does not have Bluetooth
somewhat large to pack into my computer case
poor fit she got affected the sound she heard
NC drooped down on her relatively small head
Impedance measures dead flat at 41 ohms with NC on
it cannot be easily replaced with another one like it sadly
amount of attention to detail extends to every last bit of the headphones
odd long oblong shape of the NC's ear cushions
like headband is too small and comes in contact with the inner moving band
not designed for sports and might feel a little too bulky and heavy for some
soft bag will not protect the headphones from hard falls
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
poor soundstage due to their design
we cannot be held responsible of the damage done to your equipment
noise-canceling headphones
have the build quality or quite the comfort level
stows away nicely in a laptop bag or backpack
Sennheiser pair seems to have a stronger bass profile
Switching headbands looked intimidating at first
just switch noise cancelling on while the headphones are off your head
they are a bit lean sounding
range sound a little bloated in this
they come off as coming a bit overpriced
active noise canceling is a bit sub-par
The over-ear design blocks out quite a bit of sound
hear it only in the bass and only at high volume
less than the Bose cans

Harman Kardon NC Headphones Review

When Harman Kardon introduced its first line of consumer headphones last year we marveled their high-end, unparalleled aesthetics and appreciated the fine audio quality that came with it all. In many ways Harman Kardon's CL Classic headphones were and still are a trowback of modern sophistication.

Review: Harman Kardon NC

I'm not much of a businessman. (If I were, would I be writing audio reviews for a living?) Still, after years of experience in marketing and advertising, I can't help but admire a good business strategy. That's partly why I like the Harman Kardon NC.
