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

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.

Rating purely based on the connectivity issues. Everything else would have been an easy 5 starts across the board for me. Even with the high price tag. After all, you get what you pay for! Absolutely loved these buds. The sound quality, comfort & volume must be the best money can buy right now. Battery life fantastic as well. The precision sound quality really is outstanding and something to behold. Unfortunately for me personally, at least with the set I had the intermittent connectivity issues when paired with Apple Watch Series 7 was a deal breaker for me and in the end I reluctantly returned them for refund. I was hoping a firmware update would be released to solve the issues I faced. Unfortunately when I consulted Amazon on a few occasions I was instructed to just return for refund. I did reset, unpair & repair with all devices a couple of times and even tried pairing with my daughters Apple Watch SE and had the same random connectivity issues. Music/podcasts still playing according to the watches with zero sound after some crackling. This happened when streaming and playing downloaded media through Apple Watch. I don’t have this issue when using Original V1 AirPods, AirPods V3 or AirPods Pro V1. So the issue must be with the B&O EX. Please fix this B&O. This issue aside the B&O EX are simply the best earbuds in the world as of the review

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 wanted a pair earbuds that had really good sound quality that could be on par or better than Bose earbuds. After watching reviews online, i thought ill give them a go and see if they are what people say. To my surprise the sound quality are really good! You can use the app to adjust EQ settings to your liking, but i would have prefered it if they used sliders to tune the EQ. Some cons i have with these earbuds: 1) Noise cancellation/ transparency mode is not great - I used them for running and i find it difficult to hear cars coming by me. The NC is there but its definiely not as good as some others. 2) connectivity issues - From time to time the connection will blip and your music will cut out for a few seconds. Overall if your looking for some earbuds that has good noise cancellation, you're better off going with Bose or Sonys. Since i already have another pair earbuds for noise cancelling im not too bothered about these having poor NC.

Absolutely fantastic !!. I’ve had several over the years, many ridiculously expensive, but never really found them comfortable nor the sound particularly inspiring. These were comparatively inexpensive so I thought I’d give them a go, not really expecting much. They were so simple to set up via the B&O app, they are very comfortable, they are the first pair I’ve had that NEVER fall out whatever I’m doing, and the sound is exceptional. There is excellent separation, I can hear every instrument, every nuance, and the bass is very impressive. I’m delighted and highly recommend them. p.s. I have very small ear channels.

I'm really disappointed with these Bang and Olufsen Beoplay EX. I thought I'd treat myself and splashed out one these high end earbuds and expected very high things based on reviews I've seen but I found them disappointing, in fact there's so many negatives I can only assume I have a faulty pair. Firstly the sound, it's good but it's not the best I've heard. I've tried all the different sized eartips including the comply foam ones to ensure it wasn't a fitting issue but the sound just isn't as good as I was expecting. yes there's a lot of clarity but there's not much 'punch' regardless of how I set up the EQ, especially in kcik drums. I also think the treble is a little harsh sounding and if you reduce it on the EQ it then becomes muffled, I could not get a n nice balance. This could in part be due to the EQ on the app, you cna't control individual frequencies like you can on other earbuds and I think this is a big oversight from B&O. I'd assume most people spending this kind of money are music enthusiasts and as a result you'd expect better control of the sound. I honeslty think the Technics EAH-AZ80 sound much better. I don't currently have the Bose QuietComfort II to test side by side but from memory they also sounded better to me. Next up is the noise cancellation, this is where I think I must have a defective product as it does nothing, absolutely nothing. If you scroll through from active to transparent to neutral it makes absolutely no difference regardless of eartip size used. I also have a grumble about how ANC is displayed on the new B&O app, there's just symbols for each different ANC option without saying which is which. OK you cna make an educated guess but it's not clear. I also read how comfortable these earbuds are however for me they weren't, causing discomfort after 20 mins. OK I've not found any earbuds that are truly comfortable for me, but I have used some where I don't start to get discomfort until at least an hour use. Something else that I'd not read about is that there's a lot of external sound coming from these earbuds, my wife commentated how annoying it was when I was listening to them that she could hear the music coming from them too, this is not something I've encountered from earbuds before. The only positive thing I have to say is the build quality is top notch. I read this in reviews but I thought how can they feel much different to any other but they do, the earbuds and case are beautifully crafted. Clearly with all of these negatives I will be returning these and will stick with my Technics.

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.

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 settings The 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

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 studioyu Biraz 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 kendisi dipnot 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 etmedi bir 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

Increíbles estos auriculares, calidad de sonido exquisita, diseño premium y cancelación de ruido a un nivel inalcanzable. He probado casi todos los del mismo segmento premium, Airpods, Bose, Sony y creanme estos B&O los supera con creces, claro esta su elevado precio pero si amas la musica y quieres lo mejor simplemente tienes que tener estos. A fecha actual y siempre bajo mi experiencia son los mejores del mercado, logran un equilibrio perfecto entre calidad, comodidad y diseño. Son Increíbles. Estos auriculares ofrecen una calidad de sonido simplemente espectacular, son esos que estas deseando usarlo para poder disfrutarlos. El diseño y la calidad de los materiales van a la par y son excepcionales en ese aspecto. He podido compararlo con los competidores directo en el sector premium como los Sony 1000XM5, Bose QuietComfort Ultra, AirPods Pro 2 y Senherisser momentum 3, y sin duda estos B&O son los mejores. Hay aspectos donde ganan otro modelos como en la cancelación de ruidos donde los Sony están por encima pero en equilibrio estos arrojan mejor resultado o los Bose con un sonido más grave. Salvo el precio elevado no le veo nada negativo al producto. 1.- Presentación y contenido. Vienen presentados en una caja de cartón con buena calidad, caja gruesa con detalles de fotografías y especificaciones. Dentro de ella y junto a los auriculares, un cable USB-C de 50 cm muy buena calidad, unos sencillos manuales y un estuche con las 4 almohadillas adicionales mas un par adicionas con el sistema COMPLY que ofrecen mayor confort y son visco con efecto memoria, son las que uso. 2. Diseño y aspecto. Calidad premiun en todo el conjunto, destacando aluminios en la mayor parte. Diseño tipo bastón super elegante, detalles con aro de aluminio y con recubrimiento de la superficie táctil de cristal brillante con el logo de la marca bien visible. El resto de plástico agradable al tacto. Tamaño justo no pesan en la oreja ni se nota que los llevas puesto, solo pesan 6 gramos cada uno, ni te acuerdas que los llevas puesto. El estuche de carga de aluminio, muy elegante y agradable al tacto. Pequeño cabe en cualquier bolsillo y pesa poco. Lo único que no tiene resistencia a golpes y arañazos por lo que se rayan y pueden aparecer pequeños golpes. 3. Comodidad al uso. Son muy cómodos la verdad, después de varias horas no molestan para nada al llevarlos. Puede pasar horas y ni lo noto que los llevo. Las funciones táctiles responden muy bien, aunque es algo que no suelo usar y lo tengo desactivado. Incluso valen para hacer deporte ya que en ningún momento tengo la sensación que se vayan a caer, tienen ademas protección IP57 y se pueden sumergir hasta un metro bajo el agua por un tiempo de hasta 30 minutos, aunque bueno mejor que esto no ocurra. 4. Calidad de sonido. Increíbles estos B&O EX el sonido es espectacular, buen equilibrio entre agudos y bajos, son una maravilla. Ademas la cancelación de sonido es muy muy buena, aunque aquí siguen ganando los Sony, pero personalmente es algo que no suelo usar, aun así funciona muy muy bien y podemos ajustar por la aplicación. Puedes jugar con los ecualizadores y configurar a tu gusto, he puesto mas bajos y son increíbles. Respecto tienen a las llamadas tiene 6 micrófonos y estas se realizan muy nítidas con buena calidad de audio y sin cortes. Otra cosa a su favor es que tienen un volumen bien alto. 5. Batería. Están sin pelín por encima de sus competidores mas directo, ofreciendo 6 horas con función ANC “cancelación activa de ruidos” activada y hasta 8 horas ANC desactivado. El estuche de carga ofrece hasta 3 cargas completas más con un total de 28 horas. Dispone ademas de carga inalámbrica. 6. Aplicación y sincronización. Sincronizan perfectamente, la aplicación es muy completa y permite una gran variedad de ajuste y personalización. Podemos elegir el ecualizador, ajustar la reducción de ruido. A parte permite la conexión multipunto con dos dispositivos a la vez, útil para sincronizar por ejemplo móvil y ordenador. Otra cosa positiva es que suelen hacer actualizaciones muy regularmente. 7. Aspectos negativos. La ANC no es la mejor, siendo superada por los Sony. Precio elevado. Estuche de carga elegante si pero de metal que se raya y golpea con facilidad. No cuenta con sonido espacial. 8. Conclusión. Sin duda los recomiendo mas que nada por su brutal calidad de audio y diseño super elegante, son bonitos y discretos. Después de tener y probar otros del mismo segmento sin duda alguna me quedo con estos. Poco se habla de esta firma en torno a sus productos, pero sin duda actualmente son lo que ofrecen una mejor calidad de audio, altamente recomendables.
