Harman Kardon BT

The cool design of the Harman Kardon BT is paired with excellent performance, making it a compelling addition to the crowded Bluetooth headphone field.

At $250, the Harman Kardon BT is a good-looking, well-built, strong-performing pair of Bluetooth headphones—it'll appeal more to those who favor bass than to those who want something a bit brighter or flatter, but its sound signature is exciting and...
