Harman Kardon AE headphones offer high-
tech performance wrapped in an elegant
package and interface. With their blend of
aluminum and black, the AEs’ design and
function complement Apple products while
reinforcing the sophisticated elegance of the
Harman Kardon brand.
Premium 3/8-inch (9-millimeter) drivers generate
an excellent frequency response (16Hz – 20kHz)
and are optimized to the aluminum housing.
They produce wide dynamic range, high sound-
pressure levels and extended bass response.
Sophisticated, modern design
Made specifically for use with iPhone and
iPod, the streamlined AE remote offers familiar
controls for audio playback and phone calls.
Three pairs of sleeves (small, medium and
large) are included. The choice of size ensures
maximum comfort – and minimum ambient
noise – in the ear canal.
The cable on the AE headphones features a
metal plug, and the elastomer-coated cable
resists tangling. High-quality materials help the
cable and plug last longer.

A triumph of craftsmanship and audio engineering, Harman Kardon headphones are
designed for those with an eye for style and an ear for sound.

Beautiful sound is worth protecting.
AE headphones come with a carrying case that
keeps the silicone sleeves from getting lost and
reduces cable tangling.
Premium carrying case
The AE headphones’ acoustic engineering and
passive noise reduction mean that you can
hear music and other audio content clearly
at low volume levels, so you can enjoy all the
music definition without all the volume – and
that’s safer for your ears.
Sonic clarity and accuracy even at
low volume levels
The housing on the AE headphones is made
of an aluminum alloy that provides superior
acoustic dampening. It extends the bass range
with true low-frequency reproduction. The
housing also reduces the unwanted resonances
that can compromise sound quality.

As a one-size-fits-all alternative to silicone
sleeves, AE headphones also include a pair of
Comply™sleeves. The moldable foam provides
a comfortable fit as well as noise reduction.
