Danish luxury audio brand, Bang & Olufsen just unveiled its newest earbuds.
It’s an exciting time to be a fan of thebest earbudson the market. While things may have looked stagnant over recent years, the introduction of new technology on modern examples looks set to push the envelope even further.
I’ve used models like theJBL Tour Pro 3and theOnePlus Buds Pro 3in recent months. Both of those make use of modern adaptive ANC, which looks like the next big thing in high-end earbuds.
Now, another player has entered the fray. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Eleven earbuds have just been released, marking the next iteration of the Danish brand’s technology in the space.
Two colours are offered, with users able to choose between Natural Aluminium and Copper Tone. You’ll find lashings of polished aluminium all over these buds, along with a glass touch interface and mirror-like finishing.
So, they definitelylookgood, but what about the performance? Well, on the face of it, that sounds pretty good too. While the information unveiled about the Beoplay Eleven doesn’t explicitly talk about adaptive ANC, we are told about improved functionality in that area.

Six new microphones in the buds offer faster and more efficient noise rejection, with significantly lower hiss levels for a clearer sound and a more natural Transparency mode.
That level of quality doesn’t come cheap, though. Priced at £429 / $499 (approx. AU$770) these are some of the priciest buds on the market right now. We’ll have to wait until we’ve tested them to pass any further judgement, but they’ll certainly need to be good to justify that price tag.
