    Really like mine, bought them as my big he’s sucked for going to the gym.
    Really nice case, plenty of options to fit your ears.
    Only downside I have with them is the 6ish hour battery life is kinds short for most wireless earbuds, but thats down to how much energy all the noise cancelling tech uses.
    When and if these die, or I put them down and get them nicked I would probably replace them with the same thing, but only if they’re on offer as got 50% off. I wouldn’t pay full price for them.

    Noise cancelling non existent but average earphone.
    30 earphones better than this 300 earphone

    Had these for about 5 months, they are perfect for work because I can listen to a podcast and turn on the transparent feature so I can still hear what is happening around me. When not at work I can simply enjoy the sound quality and it’s superb. Great product and bought at a great price.

    It’s great for long journeys or listening at home
    However, I would not be able to run with these, and have in fact had one drop out when walking on the stree

    I have given it 4 stars only because the design means that I have trouble making them feel safe in my ears and not falling out, when I twist them to “lock” them in place the volume goes up. sound is great all other is good. Early days so think will get use to them

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersMy WF1000-XM4 decided it was the end, even after a battery replacement and firmware downgrade I realised it was all over.

    Noticed the EQ was on sale and decided to pick it up instead of the Sony Linkbuds S. And oh boy was that a good decision. Lack of LDAC means nothing when the sheer sound quality and bass is on another level. ANC is not a strong point by any means on these, very much mid tier at best.

    The app is quite finicky, doesn’t always work and forgets the sound preset.

    Overall it’s a good option if you can get them at this reduced price.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI already own a ridiculously expensive set of B&O headphones, so I expected good things from these and wasn’t in the least bit dissatisfied. Sound quality is excellent, noise cancelling is not the greatest I’ve come across but is more than up to the job, and seeing as right now they’re selling for peanuts I can’t help but give them five stars.

    Having read an awful lot of reviews prior to purchasing I was aware that some people were critical of these for various reasons, including poor fit, unstable connection, and difficulty getting the buds to go back in the charging case correctly. I can’t find fault with them at all and I’ve not had any of these problems, not even once.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI agonised over which earphones to get and originally settled on the Bose sport ones which were on offer. However unfortunately there was fault with one of them not charging so sent them back. Being a big fan of B&O products and design I was pleasantly surprised to see these on an amazing offer, however having read the mixed reviews I was a little wary about going for them. All I can say is wow.they are amazing, quality of the material used, the look and feel of them and most importantly of all the sound quality – absolutely amazing. I am moderate hifi nerd running some hefty b&w speakers and amp at home so do appreciate quality sound. These earphones do not disappoint, clarity is pin sharp and the depth of base is rich and warm. In terms of noise cancelling, not having experienced this before, seems good to me but I have no benchmark, so can’t really comment. Also have no issues with connectivity, so far completely seamless with my iPhone 13pro.stick em in your ears select your tubes on Spotify or any other app and plays without need for manual Bluetooth connection. I don’t really have a need to use the app, other than an occasional battery life check or if I wanna play with sound settings but seems ok. Talking of battery life, perfectly fine for me, not really sure how long they last tbh, but fine for my use so far.
    So in summary- awesome sound quality, brilliant build quality and aesthetic design.ignore the haters these are a top drawer product at a great price ..caveat to that ..I wouldn’t pay the original 300+ price tag though but for c.120ish that I paid, I am very happy customer.

    Who knew earbuds could sound this good, but only if they can fit your ears. unfortunately they don’t fit me very well. they Keep popping out. But I do recommend them

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersGreat to get these at such a decent price as they are clearly a premium audio product with slick packaging, app interface and a real quality feel about the physical product itself. I am far from an expert audiophile so I am not going to pretend I know about or understand the sound frequencies jargon that many reviews may allude to however suffice to say the sound is crisp and clear on music playback however the biggest thing for me is that the volume (through my phone) is limited to I would say 75-80% of the volume of my previous earbuds (both wired and wireless). Now the cynical amongst us would suggest that in this modern age there is some H&S intervention which means the manufacturers are obliged to limit the volume to protect our little ears and fear any recourse if they don’t, however whilst many may think this is a foolish view I would like to dictate how much or how little I can damage my own hearing and frankly if I was to pay the RRP I would like the option to be able to burst my ear drums! I assumed that there was an in app option to unlock the volume however after a very efficient interaction with B&O support I established that there wasn’t. I think where you will really notice a difference with these is watching TV/Films on streaming services on mobile as the sound definition is incredibly clear and precise.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersStarting with sound quality, highs can be a touch exaggerated, and verging on sibilant and female vocals more forward than reference though this can make them sound more instantly engaging.

    The bass weight, extension and reverberation is a little less than my cx400bt but it’s not bass light – in fact the lesser reverb makes the soundstage feel wider and less closed in than the Senn, which with the tonal balance makes for a fresher cleaner sound.

    The sound quality of these compared favourably against my reference Sennheiser CX400BT and Sony WF-XB700 earphones.

    B&O provide an app with an equaliser that lets you change the frequency response. It took me a while to work out but moving the control from left to right increases treble and moving top to bottom increases bass.

    Moving on to other aspects:

    Lying on one’s side, the weight makes them fall out.

    Putting them in their case requires orienting them just so which is more fiddly and slower than others I have.

    To skip tracks you need to download an update via the app which takes half hour to install. Skipping then requires 3 taps which is too much tapping and one can’t change the control scheme via the app.

    You need to touch twice to change volume, presumably to avoid inadvertently changing volume when reorienting them in one’s ear but I found that practically I often did change the volume unintentionally because their weight and shape meant I handled them more than the others.

    Their price was high but is now almost reasonable for the performance and brand and certainly better value than the noise cancelling Sennheiser MTW3 which has a similar upper mid forward sound.

    Great sound quality but triple tap skip via update

    Bought these to replace lost Jabra 75t and once set up, a marked improvement. Took a little playing around to get the app to work but probably me rather than the system. ANC is OK, not great but more than adequate. Best feature is the sound though. Close to what you would get from good quality headphones. Very pleased and looking forward to refining the fit by trying out the various buds. Not sure I would want to pay the original price but for 120, great value.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThey’re not bad. Sound quality is good but not good enough to justify the normal price(I bought them on sale). I dropped buds years ago in favor of over ear headphones because buds were forever falling out, but to their credit,these stay in! Better then my HX but not as good as the H9, H9i or H9 3rd gen. But then the HX are absolute crap ….

  14. KattieCCRG says:

    After longer use, you can feel them in ears, because they are slightly too big. It’s not a pain, but little rest makes you feel better. Beside this they are very good.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersRight, these are by fair the best earbuds period for sound quality, ANC not so much.

    The sound is clear, and I set these to the warm eq on the app, which I never had problems with compared to some other reviews I have seen. The bass as everyone loves bass, is clean not boomy and over cooked, mids and high are detailed, the low end is rumbly but yet uplifting overall in sound as a whole. Case and the buds themselves look stunning, really classy.

    My only gripe with them, the ANC feature is not the first in class compared to Sony WF-1000XM4’s or Bose QC, personally I found if you want best ANC the Sonys are you’re choice, and sadly did make me pass the EQ’s onto a friend (kind of want to EQ back lol). But if like me Sound is what you want trust me click buy, you will not be disappointed, volume at 100% also doesn’t make music fall apart and distort like many other buds do, B&O if you wanna send me a new pair please do .

    I hope B&O release an firmware updates the ANC, just to help high frequency sounds, not so much on the low the foam ear tips definitely do have an impact and highly recommend putting them on.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersThe noise cancellation is passable but hardly a major selling point – more sufficient than good. The audio quality is excellent for the size of driver. Almost everything sounds good and they are rarely overwhelmed unless by the most difficult tracks. The eq system is different but works well. The touch controls are terrible and lacking in function. Putting them securely in your ear can change volume and no skipping of tracks or going back. Battery life seems passable but not great and I can hear interference and electrical noise sometimes and even quite close I can have connection wobbles. My biggest issue is that my ear is between the small and the XS tip, and with wind outside you can hear wind effect howl. I think these are probably near or at the top of the market, but that’s not saying much. Glad I got these on heavy discount. Fair price 200 and no more. I am curious to see if the MW08 sport are better overall on the move. These EQs are suited for indoor listening when sitting.

    I love the sound from these ear buds. They make listening to music a joy. The noise cancelling is not as good as my Sony over the ear headphones but I didn’t buy them for that. Case is nice and compact and does a good job of making sure the buds are always charged and ready to go when I need them. The buds can be a little fiddly to put into the case with the foam tips on though. Yes they are very expensive but the sound quality makes them worth it.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersEven after using them for 3 weeks I still marvel at the gorgeous, crystal clear sound. I have to tell you that bass is second to none once you’ve adjusted the EQ settings via the app. Of course, they are not perfect. The mic is sensitive to clothing even with ANC enabled and there is no playback option controls but hopefully this will be addressed with a software update in the future. Noise cancellation is OK. I have used the P17 and the WF-1000XM4’s and if sound, build quality and bass are your top priorities, Beoplay EQ is the clear winner!!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Stunning sound quality + deep bass

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersSo I had been waiting for reviews for these buds before buying them but couldn’t see any at the time before release date. So took the chance and took the plunge. So I listen to bass heavy music in the form of DNB/Jungle and everything i tried were great including the Sony WF-1000-XM4. But there was just something lacking for me. I like to feel the bass in my head. These surpassed my expectations. I could feel bass reverberating with these. ANC is good not amazing but I am happy with the slight trade off. I would compare them to Apple AirPod Pro for ANC. Sony are still the King for ANC. Transparency is good but the AirPods still destroys any others when it comes to that. The Beoplay App is really good and has some great features including an EQ and firmware update ability. Build quality is top tier, the case is nice and slim with a nice added bonus of wireless charging ability. Telephone calls are really good, way better than the Sony and on par with AirPods. Battery life is great and the case can supply a quick charge. I also purchased Comply eartips to compliment them and I really could not be happier. Use them everyday and they are very comfortable for longer listening sessions. No issues with them falling out. I am so glad I waited and made the purchase. I can not recommend these enough.
