Kia Stinger Buyers In The U.S. Got These Cool Headphones

[davebo]

Just got mine in Maryland, almost didn't notice the little box inside that has the cables. Was confused for a second since the port on the headphones is that micro-rca instead of mini that most headphones use. Bluetooth works great so I'll definitely keep my wired Sony studio headphones for video editing and games on the PC but these are compact enough that they'll definitely replace my earbuds for anything other than sports. Thanks Kia!

These are different then the first batch sent out. These are rebranded JBL duet NC headphones.

Missed that. Mine does say Stinger along the top.

Mine seem to be the Harmon Kardon Duet model, but still with Stinger and Kia branded across the top.

Are you saying NOT Harman Kardon with this latest batch?

I got mine today too. They definitely are different than the first batch that went out. They are HK branded, but I believe Harman owns JBL.

All these electronic companies just rebrand similar components. Looks like the guts of the JBL Duet headphones that they sell on harmanaudio.com for $110 but with minor cosmetic changes and branded as Harmon Kardon.

I didn't expect this as I purchased my Stinger June 30th. Very happy!

Got mine today!

Wasn't expecting noise cancelling Bluetooth headphones -- wasn't expecting anything at all, originally. Nice touch, Kia.

Having tried them on for five seconds, I can definitely say that they do cancel noise! Considering that my wife goes to bed before me and we have a new infant, these will pair nicely with my TV audio at night . Super stoked.

Call it a consolation prize for us Yanks not getting 360 cams, wireless charging, covered cupholders, and more ;-).

I was told these are “Dealer “ promotions.. is that true or are they from KIA?

I just received a pair in the mail today, and bought the gt2 on May 28th. They were a HK DuetNC, which were JBL branded HK, but they are wireless, BT and Active Noise Cancelling.

I bought mid-May, no love yet.
