Harman Kardon® HEadPHonES

A triumph of craftsmanship and audio engineering, Harman Kardon headphones are
designed for those with an eye for style and an ear for sound.

Sophisticated, modern design

Harman Kardon CL headphones offer high-tech
performance wrapped in an elegant package
and interface. With their blend of sandblasted
steel and black matte housings, the CLs’ design
and function complement Apple products while
reinforcing the sophisticated elegance of the
Harman Kardon brand.

Sonic clarity and accuracy even at
low volume levels

Optimized driver system

High-performance 1-5/8-inch (40-millimeter)
drivers produce an excellent frequency
response (16Hz – 20kHz) for a natural tone.
A unique baffle creates air flow that extends
low frequencies. As a result, CL headphones
provide better bass response than other
headphones in their class.

User-exchangeable metal bows Self-adjusting housings

Closed back design

CL headphones incorporate the Harman Kardon
closed-back design that keeps outside noise out
while keeping your music from leaking out
and distracting others. Which means your
listening experience is undisturbed, immersive –
and private.

The CL headphones’ acoustic engineering and
passive noise reduction mean that you can
hear music and other audio content clearly
at low volume levels, so you can enjoy all the
music definition without all the volume – and
that’s safer for your ears.

Slow-retention premium foam

Premium foam in the ear pads contributes to
the CL headphones’ excellent passive noise
reduction and extended bass response. The
slow-retention foam helps maintain an acoustic
seal around the ear, which keeps outside
noises out and also keeps the listener’s music
from disturbing others.

To facilitate the optimal positioning of the
ear cup on the head – and improve acoustic
performance – CL headphones come with
headband bows in two different sizes: small and
large. Users can easily swap the headbands to
determine which size maximizes comfort and fit.

2D folding mechanism and
premium carrying case

The CL ear cups fold flat when they’re
not in use, making the headphones easier
to transport and store. The flat-folding
headphones and included carrying case slip
easily into bags or briefcases – which makes
the CLs especially convenient for travelers.

The rugged steel hinges connecting the CL’s
housings to its headband enable the housings
to swivel in two dimensions. This structure
maintains an ideal fit and acoustic seal around
the ear, enhancing comfort and maximizing the
rejection of outside noise for superior sound.

Apple-compatible remote with mic

The CL headphones’ cable integrates an Apple­compatible remote and microphone that let you
accept and end phone calls without removing
the headphones. Wrapped in tightly woven
nylon fabric, the heavy-gauge cable resists
tangling and includes highly finished connectors
on both ends.
