I'm David Conaway executive editor cnet.com and I'm here with the Harman Kardon BT headphones B T stands for Bluetooth and these are wireless headphones Harman also makes an NC model that's the noise canceling model that looks almost identical to this model but that model is not Wireless what's important to note about these headphones is that they are very comfortable they are over the ear headphones I wouldn't say they be the greatest for outdoor use particularly during warmer weather because they will make your ear steamy but as over the year headphones that are very comfortable they have memory foam in the ear cups and you could adjust the headband it comes with two different size metal head fans these are very sturdily built headphones a little bit heavy you can also use them in Wired mode they come with a cord they also come with a nice carrying case and they fold flat they don't exactly fold up but they do fold flat and when you do have them in the carrying case they are fairly compact they fit easily enough into a laptop bag or a backpack a couple of other things worth noting these do support the apt Xcode Act if your smartphone or a computer or other device also supports apdex that can improve the sound quality of Bluetooth but not all devices feature apdex at this point what I also liked about it is there's a remote built-in to the left ear cup it has three buttons volume up and down as well as a call answer and button yes you can make calls this is a Bluetooth stereo headset as well but those buttons can be operated by feel you can just reach up and know which buttons you're pushing which is nice one thing I didn't like so much is that the charging cable plugs into the headphone jack it's a USB charging cable it's not the standard microUSB charging cable however so if you lose it you will have to find another one instead of just using your standard microUSB charging cable the final thing we're talking about of course is the sound quality and the bt does have some of the best sound quality i have heard in a bluetooth headphone the key thing about bluetooth is it has a tendency to sound a little bit muddy since bluetooth is a compressed audio format and these headphones really sound not like a bluetooth headphone which is a big compliment these do list for around $250 but can find them now for a little bit closer to 200 and there are pretty decent value at that price maybe not the best mobile bluetooth headphone but for all-around listening and great sound the Harman Kardon BT is hard to beat I'm David karna a and those the HK et headphones thanks for watching
