    The best wireless headphones.

    This is one of the best headphones out there. Harman/Kardon never disappointing. Since there are not a lot of wireless headphones, this is the best wireless headphones. Better than Beats' wireless headphones. The only things that bothered me about this headphones are, first, if you walked in faster pace than walking, you can hear the wind blowing through the headphones, but not that much. And the other thing is the mic isn't that good.

    I wouldnt say Im a weathered audiophile. Id say Im an amateur audiophile at best. I DO know good sound when I hear it. To show I know somewhat Im talking about I own the following headphones/amp:
    AKG Q350 IEMs
    Sony MDR-EX700 IEMs
    Sony MDR-EX1000 IEMs
    Rockford Fosgate Punch Plugs
    and of course the extremly over-priced Beats By Dre Studio

    Fiio E11 headphone amp

    Let me say at the same price these HK's SMOKE the Beats... which isnt hard to do because they are about half as worth the price Monster sell the Beats for. Like the other reviewer said (and i will strongly agree with him/her) these ARE a STEAL. These are easily worth a $350-500 price tag. I am just so dang impressed how good these sound. Its kinda weird (in a good way), they have a warm signature but are crystal clear, I guess a fine balance between the two. I was worried about the power they have but have no fear, these things can JAM! These are also the most comfortable headphones I have EVER put on my head. Build quality is pretty good, but if plugged in you can hear very loud rubbing from cables... worst ive ever heard. But hey, they are Bluetooth, big deal.

    TL;DR Version: Get. It. Now. Ugly as sin but sound is amazing for the money.

    These headphones are absolutely amazing. Great battery life and awesome sound. As a guitar player and a sound engineer i'm always criticizing sound whenever I hear it but these exceed all expectations!

    Very good, but not great sound.

    I was expecting these to be the best headphones I ever owned and they are very good, but they lack a brightness that I hear with my old Bose Triport. The package gives the impression that they are heavy, but the headphones themselves are not. It's Harman's packaging that weighs a ton. It is elegantly packed like a gift.

    Pairing was easy with both an iPhone and iPad. They are fairly comfortable even when using them for several hours. The mic quality is okay. Controls are easy to figure out but coordinating the triple click to go back to a previous song is a bit tricky.

    They fold flat which is very nice. They seem very well made and the design is unique but they do look like you are wearing 2 iPhones.

    I was surprised they were not on display for demo purposes. I might have bought them any way - but maybe not.

    Was this useful? Very good, but not great sound.

    Love these and the ear buds!

    After getting the $99 ear buds and taking them home and trying them, I went right back to the store and got these too once I realized they had them. These are like the ear buds, EXCEPTIONAL value for what you pay. I realize $250 is a lot of money to many people but they could easily go for $500. The sound is phenomental but the comfort, build quality, construction, etc. is exceptional. They look amazing too. The range on the bluetooth is incredible as is the bass response and highs.

    The range is what amazed me the most. The sound is awesome. The battery life, very good. The comfort, can't beat it. These things are really, really good and typically this is a world owned by other brands so I'm glad to see HK doing something with this. They hit a home run here

    Great music audio for a bluetooth headset; a few design flaws

    • Written by from Summerfield

    Not sure if I'll keep these. The [music] audio is good in my opinion; audiophiles might argue otherwise. The audio during phone calls is odd; some described it as tinny. The ear pads are comfortable even after hours of listening.

    Some more thought could have been put into the controls. The primary button has an LED embedded in it, which is obscured by the pressing finger, making it difficult to see the LED's status. The audio control buttons are on the back edge of the left ear pad. Distinguishing between the three buttons is difficult.

    The look of these headphones is what caught my eye. Then I listened to them and said WOW. Then I checked out the range of the wireless and was truly impressed. The battery life is long too. These guys really thought this through with these and did an amazing job. I highly recommend these over the Bose or Sennheiser

    These are SO comfy, the bass response is super good and the highs/mids are clear. Best thing is the battery life is good, the range, I haven't had a problem with at all.

    So far so good!

    I love these, the sound is great, what a great gift for Father's day. Very happy with my kids! I guess sending them off to college did pay off, eh?

    I walk all around my house with these on and through many walls, a brick fireplace, and other obstacles these things don't miss a beat. There is no interference and no interruptions. The sound is incredible, even better than my home system which I bought and invested a lot of $$$ in several years ago.

    I am a very pleased Dad.

    I've only had mine a couple of days, but so far I'm very impressed. Set up was a snap, they paired immediately with my iPhone. Connection quality is rock solid and the sound is excellent. These may be the first really good wireless headphones at a decent price. We'll see after a few months, especially with testingthe battery quality.

    Looks beautiful and sounds fantastic

    Bought based solely on HK's reputation since there is so far limited information available on the web. I have been looking for BT wireless headphones for awhile to use with my iPhone and iPad while traveling. This said I have been enjoying them at home for the last few days. Love being able to ditch one more cable. These headphones offer fantastic sound quality for a wide range of music. They are also very comfortable. No problem so far with connecting to my devices over BT, very easy setup. They fold flat and pack easy in the included carrying pouch. Love that HK included a cable in case the battery (USB rechargeable) runs out while on the go.

    Overall, great choice for anybody looking for over-hear style wireless headphones.

    Excellent value!

    These HK BT headphones are an excellent value. I have the Klipsch Image One wired headphones for their audio quality, and have used the Beats Wireless headphones, and the audio, clarity and performance of these HK's is better than those in all ways. They are really comfortable, have solid construction, with steel headband and leather over-ear cups, and the music reproduction is REALLY GREAT. Some may find not like the mic, as it sounds electronic when on calls, but honestly that is to be expected from bluetooth, so no surprise there. They are a little heavy, but that is because of the materials used, again, doesn't bother me, but some may not like that.

    I recommend these over the Beats, and over the Klipsch, so go buy a pair, they are great for $250 and they give you a lot of freedom and performance for what you pay!

    I'm used to the range I get with my bluetooth headset and the range I get with these suckers is amazing! I can go all the way to the other end of my house and they work perfectly. The sound is the bomb, bass is SO good. I'm really impressed

    Beautiful looking and sounding

    finally, a set of BT over the ear headphones that look good. saw these on gizmodo and bought them on release day.

    build and quality: very durable. metal headband, very strong. also comes with 2 bands for sizing. they feel a little heavy, but the weight adds feel to the good build quality.

    sound: this review is only on bluetooth mode, as i doubt i will use wired connection. they are on PAR with my Shure srh-440's, and better than B&W P3's and Beats by Dre. Sound at loudest volume is clear and concise, and highly satisfied as a harman kardon product. these also get loud, even while using bluetooth mode... the only bluetooth headphones that get louder than these are creative wp-350's. for the price, i would take these over the P3's any day as they are cheaper....

    Look: as you could see from the pictures, very beautiful look... clean and simple. i just don't like the large harman kardon on the side, but small issue. may be overly large for some, but the cups are very flat and don't stick out at all (even the headband if fitted properly). There is a blinking blue light, but it faces down so not annoying.

    Use: volume buttons on the side, and multi use button between them. This button pressed once plays/pauses music, pressed twice does next track, pressed 3 times back one track. This was tested on a android phone, moto bionic.

    Conclusion: Worth the $250 tag, from all aspects of look feel sound quality. A steal at that price in my opinion.
