Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal PC/PS - Wireless Bluetooth Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Gaming Headphones, 4 Microphones, Playtime Up to 42 Hours, Dolby Atmos Headset + USB-C Cable, Dongle - Navy

Top notch quality, very comfortable, I am not audiophile, the sound quality is very good.Is it value for the money not for the full price, as it is less than half price now I would highly recommend it now. As aforementioned the quality is Top notch from reputable brand.

I had a pair of Sennheiser 363 gaming headphones that I loved and were super comfy but my daughter broke them, so I brought these as a replacement and they are fantastic. I have a couple of B&O products ranging from the woeful EQ's that can't connect to Bluetooth for more than 5 minutes all the way up to an A9 but why I mention this is I also have a pair of H9 Version 3's and these are a much better all-round headset for every day much, even though I was in love with my H9's before these arrived.The headphones are feature rich, mic is clear and the bluetooth connection is very robust on PC and PS5. I know the Xbox has had a few issues but for PC, Steam deck, Switch and PS5 these headphones are fantastic.I haven't tried these on the plane so can't comment if they are better or worse than the H9's for noise cancelling and secondly, I think the grey might get a bit dirty over time. That said, these are my new favourite headphones!

I bought these as a step up in gaming headset. Unfortunately though the sound quality is by far the best I have heard the Mic was shockingly bad, and sometimes did not work at all.This will need some development before I consider them again.Marked 4 stars as they’re top tier sound, luxurious packaging and experience unboxing but it just fell very short on Mic.

These come with a USB-C dongle which works with my PC and Android phone to send a lossless HD signal wirelessly to these great sounding headphones. A shame that B&O have discontinued these, except that I picket them up for a song!

Keeps disconnecting while using, and occasionally has audio crackling sounds. Also the bluetooth doesn't work well and the mobile app has tons of connectivity issues.

If your familiar with B&O headphones you will know they are built with premium materials are very comftable and sound amazing.These are no differentBuild quality is up there with the likes of the H9 & Newer HXvery comftable to wear for hours and made with aluminium and real lam skin leather.As far as gaming headsets go your not going to find a pair with better build quality than these.Sound from the headset is also great with B&O's Signature sound.Very neutral sounding which works well with any type of game or music that throw at it.Both Bluetooth and 2.5GHZ connection were great with no dropouts or distortion even when moving around the house.The mobile app for controlling the eq and game settings is great and easy to use and follow.Sadly tho as this is supposed to be a gaming headset you would expect the main gaming credentials to be flawless especially at this price.Sadly that's not the case because the virtual boom mic sound terrible 😞 £30 gaming headsets have better mic quality that these.Now if you play alone with more role playing games then absolutely is a great headset. But if your more of a competitive gamer or play with friends then I would definitely note recommend because of the mic.Honest opinion for the money your paying for this headset I would highly recommend looking at the Arctis Nova Pro wireless which offer the same features as this headset but with a much better retractable boom mic.

Sound is incredible for gaming and music. They are so comfortable and the build quality is exactly what you would expect from a high end headset.Battery life for me personally is no issue i had 4 sessions of maybe 4 hours each of gaming and still have around 26 % left. Again sound is very well defined in these nothing overlapping i play COD and the directional sound is just incredible.Mic is so good and clear no unwanted hissing or static noises.I have the Astro A 50 and some Steelseries but the Beoplay’s are on a whole another level

Good sound quality but terrible gaming headset for multilayer. Sound way to low app very hit and miss too just not for gamers better for music

What to say about Bang & Olufsen? I can't say I'm surprised by the product, as it met my expectations, it is exceptional, with extremely high sound quality and also in terms of materials. The only downsides to this headphone are the lack of a case and its non-foldable design, but other than that, I have no complaints, only compliments.

Lo primero que hay que entender al revisar estos audífonos es que Bang & Olufsen es una marca premium, materiales, presentación, concepto y PRECIO.Estos son unos audífonos que comenzaron con un precio de 500USD (alrededor de 9,000. Pesos mexicanos) y diré que a ese precio se sentirían algo costosos, aunque no me habría sentido estafado.En ese mismo rango de precio están los HX de ellos mismos que, a mi parecer son prácticamente iguales. Tengo esos en color blanco y dorado y francamente no soy capaz de diferenciar el audio, incluso el confort al utilizarlo es muy similar. Puedo decir que, en mi caso particular, siento los HX con un poco más de presión en los costados de los oídos, pero francamente es poca la diferencia entre ambos otra más allá de las obvias diferencias estéticas.Hago está mención porque los Hx siguen costando alrededor de 500USD mientras los portal han bajado a 250-200usd que es el precio al que los adquirí yo y, debo decir: a este precio son indiscutiblemente los mejores audífonos que puedes comprar para escuchar música pero, no estoy tan seguro que sean los mejores para jugar video juegos.Definitivamente son los más lujosos en este rango de precio. Simplemente no hay competencia, pero aunque estos audífonos son una maravilla en la representación acústica, la separación, el control instrumental sonoro y un buen soundstage, carecen del “punch” que es típico en los audífonos para videojuegos. Esto es bien sabido de B&O, un sonido bastante plano, y de hecho fue una de las características que a mi en lo personal más disfruto de ellos, ya que odio lo “abrumador” de los “gaming headsets” es cansado escucharlos por lo mismo (al menos para mí).Si eres de los que gustan escuchar los beats, sigue buscando estos no son para ti. Pero si por otro lado estas buscando una opción de calidad superior en la construcción y con un sonido plano (que siempre puede ser ecualizado a tu gusto particular) que será una delicia de escuchar, donde podrás distinguir sin ningún problema cada detalle, ya sea en la música, películas o en los video juegos entonces estas en un buen lugar.La construcción y materiales están simplemente en una liga completamente sola, nada se le acerca. Desde que los tomas sabes que estás ante algo premium (que rara vez encuentras con otros gaming sets, o incluso otros audífonos premium)La reproducción del audio es increíblemente precisa (para algunos un contra)El modo transparencia es bastante bueno.Tiene todos los modos de conectividad que puedas requerir, BT, 2.4hz, Jack 3.5mm y todos funcionan de manera excelente.La batería te da para utilizarlos sin problema durante más un par de días (obvio depende de cuanto tiempo los uses diario) y la carga rápida te da un par de horas por solo unos minutos.Es en realidad difícil de compararlos con otras marcas o modelos de audífonos para video juegos, porque no hay nada que se le acerque en calidad / sonido. Pero no todo es bueno como siempre hay algunos detalles que listareEl ANC es mediocre por decirlo de alguna manera, bloqueará la mayoría de los zumbidos de ventiladores / aspiradoras, etc, pero no hará mucho para bloquear a las personas hablando o otras fuentes de ruido no tan repetitivas.Como dije, el audio es plano, y pocos disfrutan un sonido así y más cuando están acostumbrados a que los gaming headsets tengan bajos tan pronunciados medios bastante mediocres y altos hacia el frente (típica forma de frecuencia en V)El micrófono la verdad es que, aunque cumple y la mayoría de las veces en un ambiente normal de casa será bastante efectivo, en cuanto hay un poco mas de ruido, por ejemplo, que estés usándolo en publico para una llamada o estés jugando en la sala común de tu campus universitario, se verá bastante mermada la calidad.NO TIENEN UN ESTUCHE sino una BOLSA HORRIBLE DE TELA, hahaha en realidad no es horrible, es bonita, bien ejecutada, tela de buena calidad reversible y buen cordón con un “broche” metálico grabado con el logo de B&O pero, vamos por 500USD (que pedían originalmente) es casi un insulto.Siento que deberían incluir un estuche duro, pero bueno puedes encontrar algunos por aquí por menos de 20usd.En conclusión, creo que estos audífonos son un robo si los encuentras por 5mil o menos pesos. Pues son audífonos que incluso si no los quieres para jugar y solo los usaras como audífonos para escuchar música son excelentes, no tienen la apariencia “ridícula” de los hechos para videojuegos y se escuchan fenomenal.

100% recomendable, sirven para trabajo y juego, tienen Bluetooth y un USB dongle para 0 latencia. Pueden funcionar al mismo tiempo las dos conexiones, tambien los puedes cargar mientras los usas, el ANC funciona bien aunque nada del otro mundo, las almohadillas son de piel auténtica lo cual las hará más duraderas y no se van a descarapelar con el tiempo.

I ordered the PC/PS version which might be important as I suspect it is a more refined product, having been released a year or so later. Thought I'd write a review because all seemed focused on xbox and some of the common complaints don't apply.I was looking for headphones to us in PC VR gaming and had several requirements: (1) Low latency 2.4 ghz wireless PC connection; (2) Noise cancellation including good transparency effect; (3) Good sound quality; and (4) a decent mic. These fit all my requirements where no other headset out there did. These are not perfect, but they are perfect for my use case - so 5 stars relative to what I wanted.Pros:- Very well made. Feel very high quality/premium.- My wife thinks they look good. I like the silver/grey color.- I have owned plenty of headphones but don't claim audiophile expertise. My reference point for sound quality is the Bose 700 headset I have been using (wired to my quest 2 headset). Different sound signatures, but these are at least as good and better as it pertains specifically to gaming.- ANC is good enough to be worthwhile and useful. Not as effective as my Bose 700 or my Bose QC Earbuds, but different use case really. Where I take my Bose with me outside, these I use only inside. ANC is more than sufficient to block out the annoying fans on our AC/heating units while at home. Not sure it would work on the subway or NYC streets.- Transparency mode is good. This is important to me as I like to be able to keep on and hold a conversation. Feels natural and close enough to my Bose, which are very good. This is the first time a non-bose ANC transparency mode has worked well for me.......have jabra headphones and Samsung buds where transparency feels very artificial.- Wireless connection to PC dongle has been rock solid. No issues as all on this version where some other reviews noted issues for the Xbox version.- The setup is pretty easy. You do need to use the phone app, but it worked well for me. Computer could be viewed as plug and play, but worth installing the Dolby access software. If you want to make changes to sound profile on PC without your phone, you need the Dolby software.- The mic works pretty well even without a boom arm. It's certainly good enough for gaming purposes, and generally better than I expected. I would at least say that the quality is good enough that I would have no interest in a headset with a boom arm even if there were some mic quality benefits.- Mic background noise suppression surprisingly good. I have been using RTX voice to accomplish this anyway, but that is now arguably superfluous.- Handles dual wireless connections really well.- Comfortable to wear.Cons:- If you are looking for the best ANC out there, turn to Bose or Sony. The ANC feature is helpful on these and I am definitely glad to have it, but it's definitely not the best out there. I think they have leaned toward subtlety, which is the right move - limited effectiveness but it is never irritating or in the way. My Samsung Galaxy buds ANC can be really distracting, you notice it both when with ANC on and when using transparency mode.- The controls are pretty good but not necessarily intuitive out of the gate. For instance some buttons change depending on what wireless connections you have. Ultimately this benefits utility, but can be confusing upfront.- Transparency mode works differently with mic on vs mic off. It sorta intermixes ANC with sidetone functionality which is confusing. Not a big deal, but I would prefer these be separate functions.- I wish headphone makers would focus on making them less wide. I don't operate in the apple ecosystem, but airpods max look great with lower profile. These are pretty wide which hurts the aesthetics in my view (maybe cause my head more oval than round), though not much worse than Bose 700 in this regard. Of course I am also using them at home when wearing a VR headset......I already look ridiculous so no consequence to me for how I use. Also as noted above, my wife actually likes the way these look, so taste may vary.- Some of the on headset controls would benefit from voice notification rather than beeps. Sometimes hard to tell if I landed on the right setting. Bose 700 has this and it really helps.
