Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay EQ

Lush, elegant sound ; Lovely appearance ; Strong signal connectivity

ANC could be stronger ; Beaten for sound and overall value

Bang & Olufsen’s first dip into the ANC true wireless market reaps a luxurious looking and sounding effort, but the competition is strong, and they lack a fair amount of value and uniqueness for their asking price.

Luxurious and tactile standard of materials, build and finish ; Expansive, detailed sound ; Great technical specification

Can sound slightly ‘safe’ in absolute terms ; No voice-control ; Lots of very capable alternatives

Expressive, natural, detailed sound ; Premium looks and build ; Good noise cancellation overall ; Volume controls on-device

Slightly odd fit ; Touch controls are iffy ; ANC doesn't handle wind well

B&O Beoplay EQ deliver detailed and expressive audio that's a level beyond all but the most premium wireless earbuds. I have some issues with the controls and fit, but they're minor – overall, these are excellent headphones for the premium crowd.

Fantastic detail and bass performance ; Attractive and comfortable design ; Wireless charging is a plus ; Strong active noise-cancelling (ANC) and call performance ; Dust- and splash-resistant

Cradle design isn't the most practical ; Overall battery life isn't the best ; They're quite expensive

These in-ears are, without doubt, the best pair of true wireless 'buds launched by Bang & Olufsen so far. They offer a comfortable and secure fit, stunning sound quality, and effective active noise-cancelling (ANC) for keeping you locked away in a...

Great design and very comfortable ; Balanced, detailed sound ; Adaptive ANC on board

Noise-cancelling is good, rather than truly great ; No voice assistant support ; Controls can be fiddly

A premium pair of true wireless noise-cancellers for music lovers with cash to burn

First-rate build quality ; Excellent sound quality ; Clear, airy treble ; Responds well to EQ ; Decent battery life ; IP54 dust and water resistance

Fit was an issue ; Lacking sub-bass ; ANC & transparency modes are average ; App is quite basic ; Pricey

The case can be charged wirelessly. Clean and well-resolved sound. First B&O plugs with ANC.

Expensive! ANC provides a closed soundscape. Easily falls out of the ears. No voice control.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EQ are the first ANC earplugs from B&O, but far from the first on the market. Bang & Olufsen enters a competition where there are already many players on the field – and most of them are cheaper. Beoplay EQ sounds and works well,...

Etuiet kan lades trådløst. Ren og veloppløst lyd. Første B&O-propper med ANC.

Kostbare! ANC gir et lukket lydbilde. Faller lett ut av ørene.

+ Qualité sonore ; + Confort ; + Matériaux et construction de qualité ; + Contrôle du volume intégré ; + Isolation passive excellente ; + Écouteurs utilisables en solo ; + Réduction de bruit active correcte

– Pas de contrôle piste suivante/précédente intégré ; – Pas plus de 2 appareils appairables en simultané ; – Ecouteurs un peu gros (assez voyants) ; – Batterie non amovible : si elle meurt hors garantie, l’écouteur est bon pour la poubelle! ; – Le...

Les Beoplay EQ sont d’excellents intras : qualité de fabrication au top, confort au top, isolation passive au top, et qualité de son au top. Reste que certains détails ne sont pas encore au top, comme l’annulation active de bruit, ou le fait de ne...
