Harman Kardon Soho Wireless

Harman Kardon’s new Soho Wireless headphones are rich with innovation and style, but it all comes to a halt when you crank up the heavier tunes. There’s a solid design here that hints at greatness, but the sound is simply lacking. The bottom line is,...

Lightweight and portable ; Nice touch controls ; Cool design

Poor battery life ; Not super comfortable ; Audio lacks detail

These very pretty headphones don't sound as beautiful as they look.

Powerful audio performance with boosted, rich lows and crisp highs. Handsome design with leather, stainless steel, and swipe-based control pad on right ear. Can used in wired, passive mode.

Frustrating, swipe-based control pad is not always responsive to touch.

If you're looking for a crisper, but still bass-boosted, sound signature, the AKG K845 BT is a solid Bluetooth pair that offers just that. The Beats Studio Wireless is on the opposite end of the spectrum, offering booming lows that go beyond the Soho...

Lux design that features leather and chrome finishes. Attractive design for both men and women. Significant improvements on comfort. Neat touch controls

Could be pricey for some. Touch controls is a little cumbersome at first. There is some sound leakage at high volumes

Clean design ; Spot-on touch controls ; Alternative wired listening

Expensive ; Scratch-prone leather ; Comfort issues

The Harman Kardon Soho Wireless is a bit of a confused product, offering as much to the table that is spectacular to that which is, unfortunately, not up to spec against the competition.

The Harman Kardon Soho Wireless is a compact, on-ear Bluetooth headphone that features excellent build quality, very good sound for Bluetooth and touch-sensitive controls. It also folds flat to fit in a nice carrying case that's travel-friendly

It's fairly expensive at $250; it doesn't sound quite as good or fit as comfortably as the Bose SoundLink On-Ear Bluetooth

Harman Kardon's well-built and compact Soho Wireless is a solid on-ear Bluetooth headphone that doesn't quite surpass competing models from Bose and Beats.
