    Im going to start off this video by saying that the Harman Kardon Fly ANC have great build quality and they sound great as well… but unfortunately these headphones have a lot of squandered potential and ultimately these are just a re-skinned version of the JBL Live650BTNC’s which came out a few months ago. But now im just starting to wonder what on earth is Harman thinking cause these headphones and the JBL Club 950NC’s which I reviewed a few weeks ago are going to have a real hard time competing in today’s super competitive headphones market. And for those who may not know… JBL is a sub brand of Harman and Harman is owned by Samsung.

    You know what I think is a major issue nowadays, when everything is “smart” and has a microprocessor inside? The issue is that people miss the point of a product. In my opinion, headphones reviews should begging with sound quality.
    And please, never compare HK to Bose. It’s the other way around always 😝✌️

    Actually these headphones are on sale in Scandinavia for 140 US$. You get 70-80% of Bose/Sony noise cancelling but they do sound fantastic! I use EQ setting Vocal and the sound of music, games and movies blows out of water my AKG K550 reference headphones. Mic is also great and people hear me great in phonecalls even when home theater is on. In fact I bought another pair as a backup if something happens with the first. Very happy! 🙂👍
