Beoplay H9 review: it’s complicated

 

My favorite pair of portable over-ear headphones is last year's Beoplay H6. It combines minimalist Danish style, fantastic sound, and endless comfort for the perfectly fair price of $299. That's...

Comfy to wear and lovely to look at ; Good noise canceling ; Replaceable battery

Sound is too soft and mellowed out ; Touch controls are a nightmare ; Better choices at lower prices

B&O Play Beoplay H5

 

The expensive, exercise-focused B&O Beoplay H5 earphones deliver an excellent Bluetooth audio experience.

Balanced audio performance with bright highs and deep bass. Dust- and splash-resistant design. Multiple eartip options and magnetic charging dock included.

Inline remote buttons are stiff. Expensive.

For $250, the B&O Play Beoplay H5 are more expensive than many other exercise-focused Bluetooth earphones, but they come with several useful accessories and their audio performance is exceedingly hard to find in this category: crisp, accurate sound...

B&O Beoplay H5 wireless earphones review

 

High-end audio brand Bang & Olufsen recently announced the Beoplay H5 wireless, the company's first pair of wireless earphones. We've spent some time with the wireless earphones, and here's what we think.

While the Beoplay H5 wireless earphones are great in terms of its design, slightly disappointing audio quality leads us to believe that the H5 wireless isn’t worth the £199 price tag. The issues regarding the occasional grainy mid tones and harsh audio...

Goondu review: B&O Beoplay H5 look the part August 23rd, 2016 | by Alfred Siew Audio-visual 0

 

Stylishly designed, the Beoplay H5 earphones look and sound better than most active earphones made for those on the go. However, they are not cheap.

Which is better, an audiophile review or a user review?

 

I used to own some beats but left them in a hire car so I thought id treat myself to something more distinguished. I now regret that decision every time I use these earphones. The short story 1. The cord is too short 2. The cord is a fabric material...

Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Good for music sitting down, Bad to use as a phone headset.

 

Music quality is great but they are very hard to keep inside your ear, even after trying all the rubber boots supplied. Absolutely useless for any type of exercise, cord grabs on your shirt all the time, cord they talk up as a feature is actually a...
