Beoplay HX – Comfortable Wireless 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.

Mint great product!

Do NOT buy from Amazon Resell!!! I had nothing but problems with these headphones. For the first 30 days they were fine, but within a few months they were randomly dropping Bluetooth connection. And within a year they would only cycle on and off spontaneously and randomly sometimes blinking blue when on, but mostly blinking red. And they never stayed on long enough when the light did blink blue to connect to my phone. But by then they were well out of the window for Amazon support, and apparently the previous owner had registered them for warranty so I couldn’t even take them to Bang & Olufsen for warranty repair. Bang & Olufsen support tried to help me with self-troubleshooting, but when nothing worked they said the headphones were defective and I’d need a new pair. So I paid hundreds of dollars for a pair of ear squeezers. Don’t risk your money!!!! They’re putting out poor quality, broken, and defective items for sale with no recourse when something goes wrong within a few months. Don’t buy previously owned junk from Amazon!!!!
