Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX – Wireless Earbuds Noise Cancelling (ANC), Waterproof Bluetooth Earphones, 28 Hours Battery, Sport & Work Earbuds with Charging Case - Anthracite/Oxygen

Bought these for use on walks and for their sound quality in an office environment. Their use for Microsoft Teams is perfect too. The microphone department is really good. As I have them now they are comfortable and never fall out. And yes they can be used in the shower if that is your thing, they are water proof to a depth of 1m for 30 minutes. That's more than enough for me.The ANC and Transparency modes are ok since recent firmware updates, but the ANC is still not great. They remind me of the Bowens & Wilkins PI7's (of which I had 4 faulty pairs & gave up) in that department. The ANC seems to take out the hum of an air purifier, but that is all. Don't get these if your objective is a quiet environment where any noise is cancelled out.The quality of the build has always been great with B&O. My old original E8's still work fine, but needed to be glued together after many years of gym use and the occasional drop.The EQ's while sounding great look clunky in comparison to these. And yes the bass response is much clearer and pronounced on these, but very refined. My usual volume comfort level is achieved around 60-70%, music is described so clearly that there's no need to crank it up so that your eardrums hurt. The soundstage is wide and clear and only fails against full headphones in the description of musical instrumentation on the far left and right of a 180 degree sound stage. I would say the far left and right is about 85% of the description of full H95 corded headphones.And yes these seem to need time for the bass frequency to develop too. I nearly sent them back straight away. I have replaced the tips with Comply Sport Pro B&O Earbud Tips - Medium which are a few millimetres longer than the ones in the box, as these seemed to short for my ears.It took a week of playing these about 6-8 hours a day for them to start sounding great. My sound eq adjustment slowly wandered up from 100% warm (bass with reduced treble) to 50% excited (increased bass and treble response). Popular scientific opinion says that burn in doesn't exist, but my ears seem to require it. The BeoSound Equaliser is an unusual beast but seems to deliver for people not used to handling equaliser presets and what they can do. Preferences can be saved and it is really quite good.So these earphones are currently a mixed blessing, but meet my needs. I keep searching for similar specifications, but nothing in this style and specification seems to really hit the mark. The case is a quality item too and unlike some reviewers I don't find they damage easily. They appear to be anodised, and not painted, high grade aluminium. It is really quite nice and I don't find them bulky either.I hope this helps you make an informed decision on these very expensive earbuds. You are buying into a product that will probably last several years. The EQ's and EX both deliver and are made by the same manufacturer Merry Electronics. It's September 2022 now and they still work great, no faults, the case is still undamaged and that despite carefree handling.

I have owned other top of the range ear phones from other top brands, but these are the best by a long way in terms of sound quality. The noise cancelling is on par with other well performing ear buds. They come with a selection of different size rubber bits to fit individual ears. I use mine everywhere, including in the gym so they stay in. The only drawback is the battery life is slightly shorter than other brands, but if you bring the charging case out with you then you have enough charge for a long journey. In terms of sound quality though the Beoplay EXs are simply in a class of their own. Which is actually a problem as after years of use the battery will eventually not hold a charge and you will have to replace them but you will never be able to choose different earbuds and these are not cheap! But you get what you pay for and if you want the best, these are it.

I'll start by sayin I'm a B&O fan, but not at all when it comes to the EX'sFirstly. When they arrived all seemed well. Aside from having to spend over £60 on tips the get a good fit. I found them to be a little uncomfortable as the pill shape digs into the back of my ear over time. Yet I continued to try them as the sound was ok. Not great, but very honest with good timbre if not a little warm.I can deal with a little discomfort, but then my second point. The connection. Every single time I use these one or both buds eventually lose connection and require placing in the case for a few minutes. I cannot find a way to get them to work without placing back in the case. I can live with this too, despite my Sony, sennheiser, b&w not having any such issue.This brings me to my final issue and the reason I'm left with no option but to return. This morning I plugged these into my ear with and started to hear glimmer in the left phone. It sounded like high pitch feedback from an amp. I tested it to find it's the noise cancelling. It may go away I thought, but no! Now when using noise cancelling or transparency the left phone has a constant clicking noise with loud high pitch feedback loop.I have added a video which lets you hear the clicking noise. This only happens when noise cancelling or transparency is active and only the left budThese are £350 and even if they were £35 I would expect them to work longer than a week.I am very disappointed and cannot recommend as I have had too many issues and finally an item which doesn't work. I have not abused them, I have used them exactly as I use all my others and had no intention of sending them back as I love the way they look and did love the brand.

Amazing sound and quality!!!!They comfortable in ear, with a decent battery life.Easily the best headphones I have ever owned and use them for running!!Only slight issue I have is the Bluetooth connection does struggle in busy locations like train stations and will cut in and out. Only reason it’s not 5 stars.

The tips that come as standard are useless and too small you need to find larger ones to get that seal right. I have small ears but use large tips. I am guessing the bad reviews come from people who do not get this correct. Once the seal is sorted the sound is cinematic you FEEL the music I got a few goosebumps and with plenty of bass and that's before you experiment with the app which is very sophisticated with hundreds of combinations, you use a virtual circle dial to emphasise bass, treble, warmth, energy you could play all day and get different effects. I have earbuds from campfire, shure, westone and Final, these are the best up to now.They are comfortable and look stylish. You can activate the wind guard to ON permanently. I never used the ANC I have no need for it.

Don't get me wrong, the sound out of these is amazing but........ I wouldn't say for the price they are great. Other wireless earphones come soo close to how these sound for less than these and have way more features. The app for instance doesn't recognise most of the time the buds are out of the case or that the case is open. The anc and transparency mode basically do nothing (although I wouldn't but these buds if you wanted those) and lastly the fit of the earbuds inside your ear are slightly too big that it genuinely hurts using them after 10 mins and feels like the inside of your ear is bruising. There also isn't much functionality in the all itself. Not allowing any sort of customisation with controlls and the EQ is underwhelming at best.Some good things are the sound quality like I said are actually really good. The case feels nice and is metal (but does scratch really easily) and I do actually like the look of them with the glass in the middle. The build of the buds themselves are really good.But in my opinion, I wouldn't but these buds again or recommend them to anyone because for the same price, there are different buds like the xm5 and the jbl tour pro 3 that sound just as good if not better in the jbl case with certain songs that I would recommend them and not these.

The sound quality on these is amazing! Battery lasts a few days and it connects really quickly. It is expensive but the quality of sound makes up for it. They are an ok size but they fall out of my ears so I use running plugs

When these arrived, I thought they were the best thing ever. They look fantastic & sound great. They fit well, aren't heavy & are easy to use, with the tap/hold functions. The batteries last well on the earphones & case. The app is good too. There's lots of positives but one big negative.I went for a drive wearing them, using an Astell&Kern SR35 as source. The Bluetooth connection was on & off for ages. I wondered if it may be my new A&K, so tried a process of elimination. I testing it with B&W headphones & a Bose speaker, it worked fine. I tried the B&O with my phone & they were marginally better on Bluetooth connection but the sound quality diminished. Staying in one location, they work fine, so it's interference from wireless signals when out & about which kills the enjoyment. The whole point of these, is so you can listen to music, when out & about.I ended up purchasing some wired earbuds. A&K Campfire Audio Pathfinder. Since using those, the B&O sound cheap & artifical. I can't go back to them.To be fair, the wired ones are obscenely expensive & there's no loss through a cabled connection.It's too late to return them & hopefully I'll find a use for them one day. I hope if you do buy them, your Bluetooth connection is better than I experience. So much promise but it ended in disappointment.

This is a great headphone right out of the box and you can’t compare these with bose, Sony or bowers and Wilkins.I have the EQ and EX and here is the comparison.The EQ is bulky (not as large as Bose) but has a smaller charge case and the sound is a notch better than the EX and clearer and lovely to listen on default settingsThe EX is slimmer like the air pods but has a bulky charge case and the sound is great but not crispy clear in comparison to the EQ.Pairing is easy and no delays. The eq or ex are stellar with only tiny comparisons between each other.A definite W for your playlist!

外出時に電車や飛行機でノイキャンを効かせて音楽を聴くといったシーンには不向きです。ノイキャン機能は音質を損なわない程度のもの理解して、室内で音楽に浸ることに向いている気がします。各楽器の音がクリアでありながら角がなくて全く聞き疲れしません。バイオリンの高音など雑味なくとても気持ちよく楽しめます。なので、ロック系には向かないですね。

In a nutshell Poor performance and hefty price tag

Die Kopfhöher klingen unglaublich gut. Der Bass geht enorm tief und lässt fast die Ohren vibrieren. Sie lösen etwas feiner auf als die Airpods Pro 2. Die passive soundstage ist grösser als bei den meisten anderen BT-in-ears, aber dennoch deutlich geringer zu over-ears wie zbsp dem Hifiman XS. Das Klangbild ist recht ähnlich zu den Galaxy Buds+ aber deutlich hochauflösender und präziser im Bass, erinnert stark an den HD650.Die Foam- und Silikon-Tips passten bei mir nicht. Ich hatte noch alte Sony-Hybrid-Tips mit Schaum und Silikon.Die Verbindung fiel nach einem Monat täglich 2-3 Stunden nie aus. 1 mal wurde die linke Seite nicht verbunden. Hab sie dann ins case getan und wieder geöffnet und es ging sofort. Ich habe ab und zu Verbindungunterbrechungen, aber nicht aufgrund von Reichweiter oder Hindernissen, es ist eher aufgrund zuvieler Störungen im Netzwerk mit anderen Bluetooth/WiFi-Geräten im gym.Wer am Iphone (lightning) mal AptX Adaptive ausprobieren will, der kann sich auf amazon den AMZTOP B0C3GZVCHJ dazu bestellen und auf ali den Varlo KB8P. Effektiv bekommt man 24Bit/48kHz damit bis zu Kopfhörer. Nette Spielerei aber macht für mich kaum einen klanglichen Unterschied.ANC funktioniert gut auf der Staße und im gym, aber nicht auf dem Fahrrad oder im Wind. Auch nicht mit dem Sonderbutton in der SW.Kritikpunkte: Das case ist etwas zu dick für die Hose und es gibt keine stabilen Schutzhüllen am Markt mit Karabiner. Die Software am Iphone hat keine Beschriftung für die ANC-Funktionen. Die Sound-Profile in der App haben keine Zahlenwerte und lassen sich nicht übertragen. Die touch-Bedienung an den Kopfhörern ist sehr fummelig und geht oft nicht wie gewünscht. Lauter/Leiser geht zuverlässig aber alles andere nicht (play/pause).

açıkçası kulaküstü ve kulakiçi birçok sennheiser, Bowers & Wilkins, Sony, Apple kulaklık deneme fırsatım oldu detaylıca arkadaşlarımın da sahip olduğu kulaklıklardan lakin bunun kadar bana keyif veren bir kulaklık deneyimim olmadı, sennheiser momentum true wirelles 3 ve 4 denedim ses hangi şarkı olursa olsun ne kadar eq yaparsam yapayım basslar konusunda hissiyat veremedi sadece varlıkları vardı ve ayrıca kulak üstü momentum 4 fena değildi ama canlılık yoktu şarkının içerisine atmosfere alamıyordu beni , bowers tarafında px7s3 malesef mutlu etmedi ama sahne genişliği güzeldi, px7s3 kafamdan çıkarıp beoplay exlerimi takıp aynı şarkıyı dinlediğimde basslar tizler sahne genişliği daha iyi hissettirdi, ne yazık ki daha iyiydi ve müziğin içerisine alıyor. Ayrıca harman kardon aura studio 4 sahibiyim evde olmadığım seyahat halinde olduğum 2 hafta süresince sadece beoplay ex kullandıktan sonra eve gelince aura studio 4 ile müzik dinlememle beraber bi rahatsız oldum, evet bass olarak çok daha yüksek performanslı dahi olsa o clearness beoplayda exte çok daha iyi ve bu iki cihazdan kazanan kulak içi 9.2mm sürücülü bir kulaklık diğeri 130wlık bir ev sterio sistemi ayrıca 96kHz değerinde ve 24 bit jak ile bilgisayarıma bağlı apple musicle beraber kullanmaktayım aura studioyuBiraz fanboy tarzı bir yorum oldu lakin 12 aylık ve 40.000 dakika kadar kullanımım sonrası deneyimim bu şekilde beni üzen herhangi bir yanı olmadı, ne kulağımdan düştü ne de beni yarı yolda bıraktı hatta bundan daha iyisi yapılana kadar bekleyeceğim bir kulaklık kendisidipnot olarak belirtmeliyim ki kulaklığımı deneyen arkadaşlarımın bir kısmı kulaklığa eq el ile de yapsa beğendiremedim sebebini kendileri de bilmiyorlar ama yoğunlukla rock metal tazı dinliyorlar sennheiser daha iyiymiş o konuda şeklindeydi yorum, muhtemelen kirli boozy bir ses aradıkları için parlatılmış temiz bass ve gitar sesi mutlu etmedibir de anc konusu var ki hiç aramadım kendisini eğer ki comply uçları kullanırsanız ses 40tayken de dışarıdan çokça soyutlanabilirsiniz 80-90 sonrası zaten dışarıyı duymazsınız ki bazı şarkılarda 100deyken iphone üzerinden db ölçümü yaparsanız dinlediğiniz sırada şarkının peak kısımlarında 106-107db zorladığı anlar mevcut ve seste bozulma yaşanmıyor iyi bir kayıt dinliyorsanız, youtube olmasın mümkünse hatta spotify dahi rahatsız ediyor beni 320kbps olmasından dolayı, mümkünse de 24bit dinlemelisiniz, bir de şeffaf mod anlatıldığı kadar kötü değil çok sesli bir ortamda değilseniz gayet iyi çalışıyor
