Doha: The European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) has announced the winners of its 2016-2017 European Awards. Technical experts from 45 leading specialists’ magazines in 23 European countries voted 59 products best in their category.
For over 30 years, EISA has been selecting the most innovative, cutting-edge products for its awards, and these new recognitions add to Harman’s growing collection of global awards, with more than 200 wins over the past four years.
Harman has been recognised with three 2016-2017 awards for three categories — European High-End Headphones: AKG N90Q Headphones; European Mobile Headphones: JBL Reflect Mini Bluetooth Headphones; and European Mobile Speaker: JBL Charge 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
AKG N90Q: The headphone not only boasts an on board digital signal processor but the closed-back design also has an ace up its sleeve. TruNote technology uses microphones within the headphone capsules to automatically correct the frequency response for the ears of any listener.
There is active noise cancellation, a choice of three sound modes and a built-in DAC fed by a micro USB input, also used to recharge the internal battery.
Open and neutral sounding, with impressive bass, AKG N90Q is close to achieving loudspeaker-like sound. This game-changing technology takes your private listening to cutting-edge.
JBL Reflect Mini BT: The Bluetooth headphones inject an element of fun to an otherwise staid sector, thanks to their fresh colour scheme, while their well thought-out features and practical applications make them ideal for sports.
Their sweat-proof materials, multiple eartip options and the reflective earstrip for safe jogging at night are appreciated.
Perhaps what’s most impressive, however, is how well these extremely light headphones are able to produce such crystal clear sound and solid, deep bass, with great isolation from the outside world.
The JBL Reflect Mini BT also features a built-in microphone that keeps background noise to a minimum for comfortable answering of phone calls. On a single charge one can have music for up to eight hours.
JBL Charge 3: With its dual passive radiators, the fresh-looking device produces deep and powerful bass enhancing the overall sound quality. For a better and louder music experience, you can connect multiple speakers at once so that you can play the same music in sync. You don’t have to worry about rain or spills, since JBL Charge 3 is IPX7-certified and can be submerged in water.
One of its best features is the 6000mAh battery, which guarantees up to 20 hours of playtime and can be used as a power bank for charging other mobile devices, making it the perfect device for music on the move.
