Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX ANC Over-Ear Headphones - Gold Tone

Silence and Sound in Perfect Harmony For years, I settled for "good enough" headphones. They played music, they blocked out some noise, and they didn't cost a fortune. But as I spent more time commuting, traveling, and trying to find focus in noisy environments, I realized that "good enough" wasn't cutting it anymore. I craved an audio experience that was truly immersive, comfortable enough for hours on end, and capable of creating a bubble of calm in a chaotic world. I decided it was time to invest in something exceptional, and the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX headphones entered the picture. They promised a blend of luxury, performance, and silence, and they have delivered a level of audio bliss I didn't know I was missing. Unboxing these headphones feels like unwrapping a piece of art. The minimalist Scandinavian design is stunning, and the materials are simply exquisite. The soft lambskin on the earcups and headband, the cool touch of the aluminum – every detail speaks to premium craftsmanship. Putting them on for the first time is like settling into a comfortable armchair for your ears. They are surprisingly lightweight, and the memory foam earcups mold perfectly, creating a seal that's both comfortable and effective even before the noise cancellation kicks in. I can wear these for hours on a long flight or during a full workday without any discomfort. Then there's the sound. Oh, the sound. The custom-tuned drivers produce audio that is rich, detailed, and beautifully balanced. Bass is present and powerful but never overwhelming, mids are clear and articulate, and highs are crisp without being harsh. Listening to familiar tracks through these headphones reveals nuances I'd never heard before. It's an immersive experience that pulls you into the music. The hybrid active noise cancellation is incredibly effective. It doesn't create an unnatural, pressure-filled silence, but rather a calm, quiet backdrop that allows the audio to shine. The roar of an airplane engine, the chatter of a busy office, the drone of traffic – it all fades away, leaving just you and your music (or podcast, or audiobook). The transparency mode is also well-implemented, allowing you to easily tune back into your surroundings with a tap. The battery life is phenomenal. Getting up to 30 hours with ANC and Bluetooth active means I can go for days of regular use or survive the longest travel days without needing to recharge. The touch controls on the earcups are intuitive and responsive once you get the hang of them. While they are undoubtedly a significant investment, the experience these headphones provide justifies the cost for me. They are a perfect marriage of form and function, delivering exceptional sound quality, unparalleled comfort, and effective noise cancellation in a package that is simply beautiful. They create a personal sanctuary of sound and silence, making every listening session a genuine pleasure.

This is an excellent sound system I ever have it in my life. My first time touch to the Headphone and feeling very home when my first listening the music through this headphone. I've ordered the earphone after that experience. Highly recommend for who loves trying to step up in the high level of quality of listening the sounds through Band & Olufsen sounds system product. Thank you to Bang & Olufsen for the beautiful product you have made for the World! Thank you to Amazon for bringing this product to your customer like me! All the best wishes to all of your business.

I own several B&O pieces and this is my third set of headphones. Everything is top quality as expected. Sound is pure. Not the heavy bass that fees artificial in other headphones but just natural sound, which pairs wonderfully with my music style which leans on adult rock, detailed produced recordings, acoustic and even lo-fi intimate recordings. I flew intensively for the last two months and noise cancellation works very well and fit is perfect for long trips. As expected from the Danish the materials are outstanding as well craftsmanship, and finally these come with a proper case instead of the bag other B&O headphones came in the past (although I mist admit the bag was practical). At Black Friday discount these were a complete steal. Mind you I have all the Apple ecosystem so the AirPods Max would have been may have been a logical choice but to me B&O sound is simply better and on a different league.

Pretty good. I got mine from an Amazon return at a great price. They then went on sale for Black Friday so perhaps I did not get a great deal. Battery life seemed pretty good. They were very comfortable. No issues with Bluetooth connectivity. Size is prefect and the carrying case they came with were good. Sound quality is subjective but I felt these overemphasized the highs and lows. Midrange was lacking. Only no D/A converter so to get better sound I needed to add an external D/A converter. While these were good, the Focal’s are much better. With BLACKFRIDAY deals, I was able to get the Focal’s for almost the same price as the B&O. In my opinion, the Focal’s blow these away for sound quality. The Focal’s are heavier and would be more difficult to use for extended periods of time (over 3 hours) as the headband is really tight.

Recently purchased both the Bang & Olufsen HX headphones and the Bose NC 700 headphones for comparison. My biggest must haves in over the ear headphones are sound quality, call quality and comfort. Call quality The B&O HX’s call quality is not up to par with Bose. While on a phone call walking outdoors wearing the B&O HX’s, the person on the other end of the call said the background noise was deafening and they could not hear me over the noise (city traffic and wind). I switched to the Bose while on the same call and it was worlds better, lowered background noise, and they could hear me much clearer. Bose won this test! Sound Quality The sound quality of the B&O HX’s was good, however the sound quality depreciates when I switch over to noice canceling. Throughout all modes and different genres of music I noticed the bass is lacking and they focus more on the lyrics and spoken words rather than the music and lyrics. The Bose however blew me out of the water with sound quality, excellent bass, great clarity, and better EQ controls to customize to your liking. Bose wins here as well. Comfort The B&O HX’s are comfortable headphones with amazing build quality. However the earpiece shape is more round than the Bose and did get uncomfortable after about an hour of use. I also found they struggle to stay planted on my head when I’m moving around quickly (not ideal for running or working out). The Bose however have a silicone lining on the upper arm and stay put on my head when running. Bose also won here! Overall the B&O HX’s are good headphones with excellent features and build quality but at $500 and compared to the Bose NC 700 headphones at $300 I could not justify the higher price tag. I need over the ear headphones to be a device I can use at work to take phone calls and video meetings, at the gym, on an outdoor walk, and on a plane. I feel as though the Bose are the better buy but glad I compared both to find the front runner!

These headphones produce fantastic sound, bass, and clarity. The ANC works well, though the low droning sound of a plane engine still slips through a little. The leather and the aluminum feel luxurious, premium, and durable. In my opinion, they are a timeless style. Extremely comfortable to wear for almost any length of plane ride. The battery is good as well, lasting easily over 24 hours of travel. There is a BaO app that allows you to adjust setting and such, but once connected to your phone you can use whatever music app.

Long charge hold for airplane trips or car rides. Very comfortable and the sound quality was out of this world. Easy to pair and a bit pricy but worth it for the fit and acoustics

I have a pair of B&O earbuds so I figured why not go for the over ear headphones when I needed some. The sound quality is second to none at this price point. Same with the build quality and materials. That’s where the positives stop for me. The round ear cups are so small, and so awkwardly shaped they were painful on my ears. By far the most painful set of over ear headphones I’ve ever tried. I returned them. If you have smaller ears I’m sure these may work great. I swapped these for Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2E and those are by far the best, most comfortable over ear headphones I’ve ever had.

なんとなく欲しいと思っていたヘッドホンを思い切って買ってみました！ まず価格。 高いです。が、イヤホンでさえ2万3万する時代です。それにイヤホンとは違い、革をあしらうなど「嗜好品」としての側面もあるので、相対的に考えると割と妥当かと思います。 見た目は少し思ってたよりも大きいです。 でも可愛いのでよし！ 着け心地も最高です。皮が柔らかく耳を包み込んでくれるのはもはやイヤーマフでした。 音質については「至高」。 この一言です。 「柔らかくも、繊細で、奥行きのある音楽。」というと抽象的ですが、言葉通りです。 夜中にふとコンビニへ、今日は徒歩で会社にでも、ぼんやりと過ごすありふれた休日の午後。この商品はきっとそんなひと時でさえ色鮮やかにしてくれるでしょう。 お勧めです。

Bose kulaklıktan buna geçtim. Aradaki fark inanılmaz. Bası ve tizi çok net ve gerçekçi veriyor. Bir kere denerseniz vazgeçemezsiniz. Düzenleme : Aldığımın üstünden 1 yıl geçti. Çok kişiye dinlettim, herkes sese hayran kaldı. İnanılmaz bir şarj süresi var. 30-35 saat gidiyordur. Bundan aldığım müzik keyfini başka bir şeyden almak çok zor. Herkese tavsiye ederim.

Received in good condition. Great Sound with clearity! goodbuy!

Ho utilizzato per due mesi le B&O HX e le ho confrontate costantemente con le Sennheiser Momentum 4 che acquistai all’inizio dell’anno, e posso dire che le B&O HX hanno un suono migliore perché la firma sonora (l’equalizzazione di fabbrica dei drivers) che posseggono è più neutrale e le frequenze non si sovrastano tra di loro. Le Sennheiser Momentum 4 hanno una quantità di bassi che sovrastano un po' le altre frequenze, anche agendo sull’equalizzatore, le frequenze medie risultano un po' arretrate e non si ottiene una risposta 100% ottimale. Comunque anche il suono delle Sennheiser Momentum 4 è piacevole e relativamente bilanciato. I materiali delle B&O sono fantastici, cuoio per i cuscinetti e metallo di ottima qualità costruttiva dell’archetto e il raccordo tra archetto e padiglioni. La connettività delle Sennheiser Momentum 4 è superiore perché con Windows la regolazione del volume funziona con tutti i programmi, mentre con le B&O no, in queste non funziona la regolazione del volume generale di Windows 11, invece funziona correttamente con tutte le altre applicazioni, quindi con YouTube, anche con Tidal (servizio che ho a pagamento per l’ascolto della musica Hi-Fi), ecc. I controlli touch sono ottimi in entrambi i modelli, la qualità delle chiamate in vivavoce anche, la qualità dell’ANC è discreta in entrambi i modelli. La batteria è ottima in entrambi i modelli, quella delle Sennheiser Momentum 4 ha una durata incredibile, può durare più di due mesi con l’utilizzo sporadico casalingo. In conclusione tra i due modelli è migliore il B&O HX per via della migliore qualità sonora e la migliore qualità dei materiali. Il cuoio dei padiglioni sono di ottima qualità se confrontati con i materiali sintetici delle altre cuffie. Non so dirvi nulla rispetto all’affidabilità dell’elettronica negli anni. Solo con il tempo si saprà. Le B&O HX costano troppo, chi vuole ascoltare la musica senza crearsi tanti problemi consiglierei di acquistare modelli economici, magari consiglierei di acquistare anche modelli più economici delle Sennheiser Momentum 4, alla fine la differenza non è così grande per ascoltare solo la musica.

Incredible sound, I find them very comfortable very lightweight. The sound quality is superb but a little lacking in sub bass, compared to the Sony xm4 which have an incredible sub base sound. The overall sound is absolutely superb with the Sony, but I love the look of the Bangs They are as classy as they get. I do find that the B & O app doesn't really give you any real creativity. I would much prefer a traditional, graphic equaliser with sliders and not the preset dial thing, I like to be able to turn up the sub bass to give me that moving almost undetectable, feeling you get with good quality, very low bass (Sony xm4) does this so well.. I do have B & O Tower speakers at home and they sound superb, but they to suffer with a little lack of bass I don't think I would've paid £400 for these. I think £265 is enough I don't think you can go wrong with these at all. I have listened to a lot of audiophile tracks on Amazon Prime and they are absolutely incredible, especially playing classical, you can hear every stroke of the violin and the intake of breath from the performers.. I have an update on these incredible headphones, I have managed to tune them just right for a full subbase experience, I left these running for a few hours with a 5hz to 20hz sloping signal going through these at full volume, and I can tell you that the drivers seem to have improved the bass response, I have heard something like this been done before with speakers and it’s true, they need to be worn in a little bit
