The first wireless earbuds in Bang & Olufsen history can be the best choice in their category in terms of their combination of characteristics. The only drawback is the high price.
Wireless headphones have been gaining popularity in recent years. However, they often do not differ in sound quality or battery life. Perhaps it was the solution of these two problems that made Bang & Olufsen not bring its own model to the market for a long time. However, it did happen: Beoplay H5 went on sale.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H5 are two headphones connected to each other with a single wire, which houses a remote control for playback control. Inside each earbud are tiny 50mAh batteries capable of providing up to 5 hours of battery life. In addition, the earbuds are protected from dust and moisture.
During the development of the design, Bang & Olufsen engineers were inspired by the materials commonly used in sneaker production. The fabric braid is comfortable in contact with the skin and is also easy to clean. In everyday use, headphones should be significantly more comfortable than competing products.
In addition, the earbuds are held together by magnets when carried. The same mount is also used to charge them on a special platform that can be connected to a computer or any other power source via USB. This solution is definitely more convenient than connecting the cable to the headphones with each charge.
Each earphone is equipped with a speaker with a diameter of 6.4 mm. The manufacturer promises high-quality sound unattainable for similar products from other manufacturers.
To communicate with the playback source, the Bluetooth 4.2 protocol is used, as well as a special companion application that allows you to configure various sound profiles for Beoplay H5, as well as monitor the battery level.
In terms of price, this is the most controversial place of the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H5 from the point of view of the buyer. The headphones are currently on sale in the UK for £ 199, which is the equivalent of $ 268. Are they worth the money? Judging by the totality of characteristics, it is unambiguous. Excellent sound, acceptable autonomy and ease of charging, coupled with the quality of the materials used, make Beoplay H5 one of the best solutions among wireless headphones.
