The quality and perfection of Harmon Kardon NC Premium Over-Ear Headphones is now made available to you. Harman Kardon NC headphones feature an exclusive acoustic system that incorporates superb mechanical design, materials and electronics. User-exchangeable bows, self-adjusting housings, soft leather cups and slow-retention ear-cup foam guarantee a comfortable fit and an optimal acoustic seal on the ear. The NC model employs the proprietary HARMAN closed-loop, active digital noise-cancelling technology developed for acoustic installations in luxury cars. The USB-rechargeable NC headphones have a long battery life that lasts up to 40 hours. Even if the battery dies, the headphones will still work when connected by the supplied bypass cable to a playback device. No other noise-cancelling headphones provide this passive playback mode.
Harman Kardon NC headphones deliver high-tech performance wrapped in an elegant package and interface. With its blend of sandblasted steel and black matte housings, the NCs’ design and function complement Apple products while strengthening the sophisticated grace of the Harman Kardon brand. NC headphones adapt the proprietary closed-loop, active digital noise-cancellation technology developed by HARMAN for luxury automobile sound installations. This technology examines and optimizes the audio signal before it reaches the listener’s ears. NC headphones include a microphone inside the ear cup to deliver the most accurate noise cancellation. The active digital noise cancellation integrates with the NCs’ superior passive noise-cancelling features to deliver the best possible listening experience.
Unlike other noise-cancelling headphones, the music does not end when the battery dies. NC model headphones let the user enjoy continuous playback, even when the battery is dead. This is possible by simply connecting the headphones to the playback device using a supplied bypass cable.
The high-performance drivers produce an excellent frequency response (16Hz – 20 kHz), wide dynamic range and high sound-pressure levels. Due to this, NC headphones provide accurate sound and extended bass response.
These headphones comprise a bass tube that functions like a tuned bass port. It enhances bass performance and helps the headphones produce exceptional bass response at any volume level.The NCs’ acoustic engineering and passive noise reduction imply 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 which is safer for your ears.To facilitate the optimal positioning of the ear cup on the head and better the acoustic performance the NC headphones come with headband bows in two different sizes: small and large. You can easily swap the bows to determine which size provides more comfort and fit.
The rugged steel hinges connecting the NC’s housings to its headband helps the housings to swivel in two dimensions. This structure maintains a supreme fit and acoustic seal on the ear, increasing comfort and maximizing rejection of outside noise for superior sound.The pads on the NC headphones feature soft, protein leather that rests at ease on the ear for a luxurious feel. If required, you can remove the pads to clean or replace them. When attached to the housings, the pads are secured with industrial-strength magnets and PORON foam.Another factor contributing to the NC headphones’ excellent passive noise reduction and extended bass response is the slow-retention foam in the ear pads. The first-class foam helps maintain an acoustic seal on the ear, which keeps outside noises out, enhances bass response and your music does not bother others.
NC users can charge the headphones on the move with a supplied USB cord, which eradicates the need for batteries or an extra charger. Moreover, the NC ear cups fold flat when they’re not in use, making the headphones easier to transport and store. The NC headphones’ cable is wrapped in tightly woven nylon fabric and has highly finished 1/8-inch (3.5-millimeter) connectors on both ends. Flexible and durable, the heavy-gauge cable avoids tangling, as does the cable’s single-side entry to the housing. Anyone would agree that beautiful sound is worth protecting. So, NC headphones come with a carrying case that reduces cable tangling. The flat-folding headphones and carrying case slip easily into bagsor briefcases – which makes them especially suitable for travellers.
