Harman Kardon are just so good at designing beautifully striking audio hardware that even we think the CL headphones are worthy of being displayed at an art gallery. These are ridiculously good looking and one of the more sophisticated amongst the headphones we've had the opportunity to test to date. Bowers & Wilkins' P3 headphones are a good example of that, and even bare a similar resemblance the CL headphones but even so, the CL are triumphantly unique with their impeccable industrial design. It's not every day we stumble upon headphones that take excellence into a whole different level. For the most part, our CL review coindides with the NC apart from the obvious tell-tale differences which we will cover and point out. Both are essentially identical, only to be told apart based on their different form-factors. In fact, we haven't noticed any differences in build quality, essential features nor even sound quality between Harman Kardon's $200 CL headphones and the company's most prestigious $300 NC cans. But it's also worth noting that all three models include identical perks like an in-line 3-button remote control with a built-in microphone as well as a secondary interchangeable metal headband which is designed to fit larger heads. Now that difference between the two over-the-ear models is a distinction of two important features - the BT model having wireless Bluetooth capabilities while the NC headphones, the most expensive out of the three - are active noise-canceling headphones. The $200 CL are the most compact of the three boasting an on-ear form-factor while the $250 BT and $300 NC both share a supposedly more comfortable over-ear form-factor. Harman Kardon's headphone lineup splits into three individual categories, each share an identical design and remarkably identical driver specifications as well.
