Beoplay HX
About
Extended wear demands cushioning that maintains comfort beyond the first hour. Bang & Olufsen addressed this with memory foam ear pads wrapped in lambskin, materials that breathe while conforming to individual facial contours. The headband continues this comfort focus, its aluminium spine distributing weight evenly across the crown while contributing structural rigidity that prevents unwanted flex.
The 40mm drivers inside each earcup reproduce audio with warmth that never obscures detail. Frequency response handles everything from acoustic intimacy to electronic complexity, the tuning suitable for genre-diverse listeners who resist the compromises of heavily colored sound signatures. Hybrid active noise cancellation operates continuously, sampling and suppressing environmental intrusion so effectively that office bustle and cabin noise recede noticeably.
Practical considerations received equal attention. Battery life extends to 35 hours, easily spanning multiple workdays without charging anxiety. Device switching happens quickly, accommodating the modern reality of laptop-to-phone transitions throughout the day. Controls respond reliably under fingertips, their placement intuitive after brief familiarization. For professionals who need headphones that perform from morning commute through late evening, the HX delivers without demanding compromise.
