Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay EQ

Lush, elegant sound ; Lovely appearance ; Strong signal connectivity

ANC could be stronger ; Beaten for sound and overall value

Bang & Olufsen’s first dip into the ANC true wireless market reaps a luxurious looking and sounding effort, but the competition is strong, and they lack a fair amount of value and uniqueness for their asking price.

Luxurious and tactile standard of materials, build and finish ; Expansive, detailed sound ; Great technical specification

Can sound slightly ‘safe’ in absolute terms ; No voice-control ; Lots of very capable alternatives

Expressive, natural, detailed sound ; Premium looks and build ; Good noise cancellation overall ; Volume controls on-device

Slightly odd fit ; Touch controls are iffy ; ANC doesn't handle wind well

B&O Beoplay EQ deliver detailed and expressive audio that's a level beyond all but the most premium wireless earbuds. I have some issues with the controls and fit, but they're minor – overall, these are excellent headphones for the premium crowd.

A premium pair of true wireless noise-cancellers for music lovers with cash to burn

First-rate build quality ; Excellent sound quality ; Clear, airy treble ; Responds well to EQ ; Decent battery life ; IP54 dust and water resistance

Fit was an issue ; Lacking sub-bass ; ANC & transparency modes are average ; App is quite basic ; Pricey

The case can be charged wirelessly. Clean and well-resolved sound. First B&O plugs with ANC.

Expensive! ANC provides a closed soundscape. Easily falls out of the ears. No voice control.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EQ are the first ANC earplugs from B&O, but far from the first on the market. Bang & Olufsen enters a competition where there are already many players on the field – and most of them are cheaper. Beoplay EQ sounds and works well,...

Etuiet kan lades trådløst. Ren og veloppløst lyd. Første B&O-propper med ANC.
