One of our favourite elements to the design is actually the hinge of the charging case. Like so many other manufacturers, you flip open the lid to get to your ‘buds, but the movement of this hinge is so smooth. It’s not loose or tight, which adds to that overall feeling of attention to detail in design. It’s a luxurious touch that makes it feel like the ‘buds are worth their rather high price tag.
The case isn’t just a luxury item though, it’s practical too. You can place it on a wireless charing pad to refill the battery inside when empty or - if you prefer - use the Type-C connector on the back.
Features and performance
- Bluetooth 5.1 and aptX 7 hours music playback 30 hours including case Audio transparency mode
Sound
- 20Hz - 20KHz frequency response 5.7mm electrodynamic drivers Customisable EQ in app
To recap
Bang & Olufsen’s true wireless ‘buds set themselves apart from the usual crowd by looking and feeling ultra-premium. These in-ears also just happen to be waterproof, practical and durable too. It’s a great combination, plus the sound profile is customisable and fit is superb.
