Harman Kardon CL
Along with the in-ear NI and AE, Harman Kardon also launches three on-ear/over ear headphones. The on-ear CL model and over-ear BT and NC models are framed by a lightweight sand-blasted steel outer band that comes in two sizes so users can swap for the correct fit. Other than steel frame, all of them have steel hinges and leather earpads, which are detachable and connected by industrial-strength magnets to remove for cleaning or replacement. The CL, BT and NC all come in rectangular shape that, according to Harman, reflects iPhone’s iconic design.
