Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX

35+ hours of music ; Excellent sound quality ; Manual sound settings

ANC isn't best-in-class ; Very, very expensive

If you're willing to splash out on your next pair of wireless headphones, then the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX are worth a look. Featuring B&O's telltale design language, they look just as good as they sound, and the easy-to-use smartphone app gives you...

Quality look and feel - as is typical from B&O ; Virbant sound - in particular the sparkly top-end ; Well appointed app with customisation

Extremely expensive ; Active noise-cancelling (ANC) is very subtle ; Lacks driving bass ; Competition is stronger

What you're paying for here is the quality of materials and admirable sound quality (once you've tinkered with the app anyway). Compared to the competition, however, the active noise-cancelling (ANC) is very subtle, so these over-ears won't universally...

Opulent-yet-tasteful design and finish ; Engaging, energetic sound ; Great control options

High price compared to alternatives ; Noise-cancellation can be bettered for less

It’s almost possible to visualise Bang & Olufsen congratulating itself on being so pragmatic and sensible with the Beoplay HX. And that’s fair enough: by reining in their design-led instincts just a little, the company has turned out a deeply...

Good wearing comfort, nice design. Adaptive noise reduction. Touch operation.

The noise reduction is too wind sensitive and it affects the sound quite a lot.

Beoplay HX is intended as a new alternative in the premium class for noise-reducing headphones. It is light and comfortable, and incarnating Bang and Olufsen fans should have it on their checklist. However, there are quite a few on the leg in the price...

hoher Tragekomfort auch bei großen Köpfen ; starker Akku ; hervorragende Sprachverständlichkeit ; eignet sich perfekt für genreübergreifende Klangerlebnisse

passive Geräuschunterdrückung nur sehr gering ; ANC-Modus noch nicht voll ausgereift

stereoplay-Testurteil: 74 Punkte; Klang "50 von 70"; Preis/Leistung "sehr gut"; Stereoplay Highlight

God bærekomfort, lekker design. Adaptiv støyreduksjon. Touch-betjening.

Støyreduksjonen er for vindfølsom, og den påvirker lyden temmelig mye. Ingen stemmestyring.

God bærekomfort, lækkert design. Adaptiv støjreduktion. Touch-betjening.

Støjreduktionen er for vindfølsom, og den påvirker lyden temmelig meget. Ingen stemmestyring.

Bra komfort, läcker design. Adaptiv brusreducering. Touch-styrning.

Brusreduceringen är för vindkänslig och påverkar dessutom ljudet ganska så mycket. Ingen röststyrning.

Beoplay HX är tänkt som ett nytt alternativ bland brusreducerande hörlurar i premiumklassen. De är lätta och bekväma och enträgna Bang & Olufsen-fans bör ha dem på checklistan. I den här prisklassen finns det dock gott om rivaler och när det gäller...
