amazon B&O Beoplay EX reviews

B&O Beoplay EX is a true wireless headset of very good quality. It has a beautiful design, a comfortable wearing experience, excellent sound quality, fast wireless connectivity, long battery life, and highly effective noise cancellation.

Design and wearing experience

In terms of design, Beoplay EX has an eye-catching appearance and stands out more than its two brothers, Beoplay EQ and Beoplay E8 Sport. Although possessing a form similar to Apple’s Airpods Pro headset, Beoplay EX offers a much better wearing experience.

The housing part with an oval design provides a perfect fit when wearing the Beoplay EX on the ear. The tapered and compact design allows the sound tube to go deep inside the listener’s ear without causing discomfort. Comes with the headset will have 5 pairs of eartips including 4 pairs of silicone eartips (XS/S/M/L) and 1 pair of B&O Comply eartips. Through practical experience, these tips bring comfort and certainty when used.

The entire outer shell of the headset will be made of matte aluminum and undergoes alumite treatment to limit oxidation over time while enhancing scratch resistance. To create a highlight for B&O Beoplay EX, the faceplate of the headset will be covered with a layer of PVD tempered glass. When the light shines on, the glass will change color and look very eye-catching. Surrounding this glass is a shiny aluminum ring.

Similar to the headset part, the B&O Beoplay EX’s charging case also has an outer shell made of matte aluminum and undergoes alumite treatment. The charging box part uses a clamshell opening and closing mechanism with the lid embossed with the “Bang & Olufsen” logo. The front will have an LED indicator that shows the battery status, and the Type-C charging port is located on the back of the charging case.

With the IP57 waterproof standard, being exposed to rain or sweat will not affect the Beoplay EX too much. The headset will have three color options: Anthracite Oxygen, Gold Tone, and Anthracite.

The only downside in the design of Beoplay EX is that the glass on the faceplate is easy to stick to fingerprints. Therefore, users need to clean the headset regularly.

Outstanding Features

Each Beoplay EX headset will be equipped with a driver with a diameter of 9.2mm. This is the largest driver cluster ever used by Bang & Olufsen on true wireless headset models. With this upgrade, the audio performance will be significantly improved, the sound bands will have better detail and dynamics.

Using the Bluetooth 5.2 standard and supported by the SBC, ACC & aptX Adaptive series of codecs, the wireless connection on the B&O Beoplay EX has excellent accuracy and responsiveness. The sound latency is very low and the obstacles in the room will not affect the connection quality much.

The battery life of Beoplay EX is very impressive when it can play music continuously for 6 hours with ANC on and increases to 8 hours with ANC off. The charging case will give the headset another 10 to 12 hours of music playback. In addition to the fast charging feature, the Beoplay EX’s charging box is also equipped with Qi-standard wireless charging with a full charge time of about 2 hours.

Each Beoplay EX headset is equipped with 3 microphones that improve realism, clarity, and sharpness when talking.

Although the passive noise cancellation on B&O Beoplay EX is not good. However, with the help of the ANC feature, the noise in the outside environment such as the howling wind or the chatter of people around is eliminated. You can fully adjust the noise canceling effect flexibly through the Bang & Olufsen app. There are 5 modes for you to choose from Optimal, Sport, Commute, Clear, and Podcast.

Comes with ANC is also the familiar Ambient Mode feature that allows users to both enjoy music and hear the voice of the opposite person.

Sound quality

The sound of the B&O Beoplay EX is vibrant and the volume is louder and clearer than the Beoplay EQ and E8 Sport. This is completely understandable because the driver cluster on Beoplay EX is much larger.

The tonal ranges are reproduced in detail and sharp by Beoplay EX, especially the vocals have very good volume and represent the nuances of the original music. The timbre in the treble and bass ranges sounds very natural, while the image is highly detailed and has a relatively good layering ability. The bass range is lively, rich in internal force, and very powerful, however, the soundstage does not have wide.

The Beosonic feature on the Bang & Olufsen application allows users to flexibly choose between 4 different sound modes: Bright, Energetic, Warm, and Relaxed. Beoplay EX fully meets all audiophile’s music enjoyment needs.

The launch of B&O Beoplay EX is a big step for Bang & Olufsen in the market for true wireless headphones. With a large driver cluster, intensely attractive appearance, many smart features, and high vivid sound quality, Beoplay EX is well worth the money you spend.
