Bang & Olufsen’s products exude quality – and the brand’s latest headphones, the Beoplay H100, certainly aren’t shy of their luxury positioning. Indeed, the £1299/$1549 asking price laughs in the face of the Apple AirPods Max’s £/$549 pricing.
But, as I know too well, Bang & Olufsen’s products – across the Beosound and Beoplay ranges – befit their asking price given the quality, materials and craftmanship that goes into creating such products. The Beoplay H100, which update the5-star-awarded Beoplay H95, are no different in that regard.

I’ve tried plenty of Bang & Olufsen products in the past – and if there’s one thing that’s always for certain, it’s the sound quality is sublime. The H100 use Bang & Olufsen’s new adaptive audio processing, called EarSense, which real-time measures the wearer’s fit for an “unrivalled listening experience”.
Design is an integral part of any headphones product, but the Beoplay H100 feature lots of lush-sounding material choices that I can’t wait to see and try out in person. From the “silky smooth, scratch-resistant hardened glass touch interface” with haptic control dials, to the inner headband’s “knitted textile” finish and the earpads' soft lambskin leather.

There’s a trio of colour options at launch: Infinite Black, which is black as it sounds; Hourglass Sand, which actually looks closer to a two-tone white to me; and Sunset Apricot, which I think has a burnt orange, copper-like visual appeal about it. You can see all three in the gallery of images embedded above.
Modular seems to be flavour of the year, with theDyson OnTrac headphonesfeaturing a distinctive earcup/earpad interchangeable system. Bang & Olufsen’s take is more about sustainability, though, with extended life giving that tall asking price a more comprehensible context.
