Review: B&O Beoplay EX
Price: £349 from fave.co/3Nuq7eW
Bang and Olufsen’s Beoplay EX true wireless, noise-cancelling earbuds feature beautiful design, a secure fit, strong wireless performance, great sound, and decent battery life. They’re also entirely waterproof – to the point they’ll survive being submerged in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes. If their £349 asking price doesn’t make you check your wallet, read on and see why they could be B&O’s finest in-ear headphones.
DESIGN
B&O audio gear is about form as much as function, and the Beoplay EX certainly make a statement. Once you get past the fact that their stem-shape reminds you of Apple’s AirPod, you’ll marvel at the Beoplay EX’s beauty. They’re designed by Copenhagen’s Thomas Bentzen, whose industrial designs are known for their ‘simplicity, rationality, and functionality’.
The Beoplay EX are as much a fashion accessory as they are earbuds. I can’t quite explain why, but even after weeks of use, the Beoplay EX’s design continued to draw my attention every time I opened the case or held them in my hands.
They’re available in three finishes: Anthracite Oxygen, a matte black
