Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones Black Anthracite

Sound and comfort focus

The Beoplay HX are wireless over-ear headphones built for listeners who want signature Bang & Olufsen tuning, adaptive noise cancellation and all-day wear comfort in a single package. They target commuters and office workers who value clear calls and long battery life over gaming features or wired studio monitoring. Buyers who need aptX Lossless, wired high-resolution input or a fold-flat design for tight bags should look elsewhere.

Adaptive ANC and battery upgrade

The headphones adopt the digital adaptive ANC introduced with the H95, replacing the fixed cancellation of earlier models so the system adjusts to ambient noise without degrading audio quality. Bluetooth 5.1 supersedes the older 4.2 link found on the H9i, adding multipoint pairing and faster device switching. The jump is worthwhile when you regularly move between a laptop and phone or need reliable suppression in changing environments.

Sustained daily performance

With ANC and Bluetooth active the headphones deliver up to 35 hours of continuous playback, extending to 40 hours with noise cancellation disabled. Beamforming across four microphones keeps voice pickup steady during long conference calls, while the BandO app lets you tune ANC levels and EQ without interrupting the session. Premium materials such as top-grain calfskin and lambskin cushions maintain comfort and seal integrity over multi-hour use.
