The E55BT Quincy Edition delivers Quincy’s personalized sound
for superior audio and features customized EQ tuning and voice
prompts from Quincy Jones himself. The wireless headphone packs up
to 20-hours of battery life so listeners can take the stylish
headphone from day to night without missing a beat. Additionally,
the Bluetooth feature allows users to seamlessly switch between
devices for audio calls and music, enabling them to stay connected
at all times. For higher resolution audio quality up to 96 kHz/24
bit, users can also listen in wired mode with the detachable cable
included.
"The design of the E55BT Quincy Edition was a true collaborative
effort with HARMAN and a continuation of our six-year partnership,”
said music legend, Quincy Jones. “I’ve been a big supporter of all
HARMAN brands for decades and can’t wait to have fans listen to
their favorite music with these expertly tuned headphones that
deliver premium sound.”
The headphone was designed for someone who appreciates fashion
as much as they do music. The chic aesthetic of the special edition
headphone was a collaborative effort by Quincy and designer Kidada
Jones, the music legend’s daughter. The designer outfitted the
ergonomic, over-ear headphone with rich metallic finishes and a
stylish leather headband to ensure users have lasting comfort
throughout the day.
“We’re excited for the opportunity to work with Quincy and
Kidada Jones once again by adding another special edition headphone
to HARMAN’s portfolio,” said Michael Mauser, president, Lifestyle
Audio Division at HARMAN. “The E55BT Quincy Edition headphone,
