HARMAN Introduces Harman Kardon Soho Wireless Headphones

STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- HARMAN International Industries, Incorporated, marries superlative sound and wireless freedom with stunning aesthetics in the new Harman Kardon® Soho Wireless headphones.   Designed to elevate the act of traveling, the Bluetooth® headset embodies sleek, head-turning visual and touch appeal, with premium-stitched leather and a stainless steel body and sliders.

"It's a standalone look with an enhanced level of performance," said Michael Mauser, president of HARMAN's Lifestyle Division. "Our new Harman Kardon Soho Wireless headphones are so stylish and comfortable you may never want to take them off."

With the refined looks comes refined state-of-the-art design. Ear-cup-mounted touch-sensitive controls are always at your fingertips, providing instant access to remote functions — the ultimate in simplified control and total convenience. Truly wireless, these headphones combine the connective ease of Bluetooth® technology and NFC for maximum pairing from a wide spectrum of smart devices.

As you'd expect from Harman Kardon, superb sound is a given. Thanks to specially selected 30 mm drivers and high performance neodymium transducers, Soho Wireless headphones deliver crisp highs and a thunderous enhanced bass response. And thanks to aptX and AAC coding, the Bluetooth streaming never suffers from data compression.

It's not just about style; it's about lifestyle, and Harman Kardon has thought of everything, even down to the fold-flat design for ease of travel, and the structured carrying case that keeps everything organized and together — the perfect sound complement to any road trip. Whether you wear them for work or play, these indispensible, on-ear headphones offer maximum wireless connectivity to an ever-widening array of smart devices, like smartphones, tablets and laptops. As a personal statement of style, Harman Kardon Soho Wireless headphones are a critical component of active everyday life.
