Impeccable Performance

Experience unparalleled sonic reproduction from wireless headphones, allowing you to hear all the nuances and subtleties in your favorite music. Mark Levinson’s world-class engineers have designed the № 5909 to deliver reference-quality sound via 40 mm beryllium-coated drivers and high-resolution Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity. The № 5909’s audio performance meets the stringent standards for Hi-Res Audio certification, so you’re assured of incredible audio.

Precision Tuning

The № 5909 has been engineered to provide you with optimal sound for an over-ear headphone. Its sound profile has been expertly tuned to the HARMAN Curve, an acoustic response curve that achieved the highest subjective scoring across listening tests. Experience reference-quality sound, the culmination of decades of research by HARMAN into listening preferences and the science of acoustics.

Crystal Clear Calls

Hold conversations comfortably, in nearly any environment. Four beam-steering microphones with Smart Wind Adaption prevent your voice from being muddled by outside noise. At the same time, ANC blocks ambient sounds so you can focus on what’s being said. Connect with family, chat with friends, and hold business calls – all in near-perfect clarity.
