Sui voli Lufthansa potrete indossare delle AKG N60 NC

HARMAN e Lufthansa hanno recentemente stretto una collaborazione per portare l'audio di qualità in volo. Lufthansa offrirà infatti ai suoi passeggeri cuffie AKG N60 NC, modello che implementa anche la cancellazione del rumore, a bordo dei suoi aerei.

Le AKG N60 NC, già disponibili all'acquisto da diversi mesi, saliranno a bordo della flotta Lufthansa da gennaio 2017 e saranno offerte soltanto ai passeggeri in business class. L'accordo, che durerà almeno cinque anni, prevede che HARMAN si occupi anche della manutenzione delle cuffie.

L'obiettivo è infatti quello di fornire un'esperienza audio premium anche a chi non vuole portarsi dietro cuffie di alta qualità; un vero peccato, però, che l'iniziativa non riguardi anche le altre classi.

STAMFORD, CT – HARMAN International Industries, Incorporated (NYSE: HAR), the premier connected technologies company for automotive, consumer and enterprise markets, announced today that it has entered into a long-term collaboration with Lufthansa, one of the world’s largest airlines, to equip passengers with an aviation-certified adaptation of AKG N60 NC (noise cancelling) headphones. Beginning in January 2017, all business class seats on Lufthansa flights will be outfitted with the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) award winning active noise-cancelling headphones from AKG.

The AKG N60 NC headphones meet the latest aviation standards, including RTCA-DO160G, plane manufacturer specific tests, and are certified equipment for all current and new planes, including Airbus A350 and Boeing 777.

“Whether enjoying movies, music, games, or any of Lufthansa’s in-flight entertainment offerings, business cabin passengers will enjoy a luxurious and immersive audio experience through HARMAN’s award-winning AKG headphones,” said Michael Mauser, EVP and President of the HARMAN Lifestyle Audio Division. “This is the first initiative in what we expect will be a long-term partnership with Lufthansa, to provide future HARMAN connected technologies to equip the organization and their passengers.”

The AKG N60 NC headphones have been designed and acoustically tuned with the traveler in mind. Best in class active noise cancellation minimizes the disruptive sounds encountered on everything from planes to trains. Premium material such as aluminum, memory foam and leather provide elegant aesthetics, while remaining lightweight for a comfortable listening experience.

HARMAN will also support the repair, service or replacement of headphones as needed, ensuring Lufthansa’s passengers always enjoy best AKG quality. The agreement to supply AKG N60 NC equipment is for an initial term of five years.
