“The ultimate fusion of aesthetics, durability and technology”. It is with this praise that the Danish brand has just announced the release of its new Beoplay H100 Bluetooth headphones. This model follows in the footsteps of the Beoplay H95, improving on many points such as sound quality and digital noise reduction. This latest model also features a new modular construction, while retaining a highly attractive design.
B&O Beoplay H100: a fusion of aesthetics and comfort
A true gem, the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H100 have a modern, sophisticated look. Every detail is designed to deliver a remarkable audio experience, as well as unrivalled comfort and elegance. Here’s what the Danish brand announces:
- A tempered glass tactile interface
- Precision haptic dials
- Tactile buttons
- Soft lambskin ear pads
- A luxurious, lightweight leather case inspired by the world of fashion
Sustainable design
In addition to all these features, which promise unrivalled comfort, intuitive operation and easy transport, the brand is also emphasizing the durability of these new headphones. The B&O Beoplay H100 benefit from a design based on cradle-to-cradle principles. This certification focuses on the health of materials, their reutilization, renewable energies, carbon and water management and social equity.
They feature user-replaceable parts, repairable components and an upgradeable software platform. Enough to keep them going for years to come.
Innovative technologies
The B&O Beoplay H100 don’t just offer an attractive, durable design, they also excel when it comes to technology. They feature 40mm titanium transducers, custom-built for rich, detailed sound. They also have a Spatial Audio mode with head-movement tracking for total sound immersion. These technologies are optimized for listening to Dolby Atmos content, both films and music.
Good news: active noise cancelling is not only present, it’s also been improved. For immersive, noise-free listening, these headphones feature no fewer than 10 studio-quality microphones! And there’s still a transparency mode for total connection with your surroundings. Another good point is the thumbwheel on the left earcup for precise adjustment of the ANC/transparency level.
Users will also benefit from automatic on/off to simplify their daily lives. For quick access to music, the controls can be customized. Bang & Olufsen’s new headphones adapt to personal preferences for an optimal user experience.
In terms of battery life, this latest addition to the B&O Beoplay range offers continuous playback for up to 34 hours. This is complemented by quick charging, offering up to five hours of playback after just five minutes charging.
