There is a particular moment when you lower a pair of Bang & Olufsen headphones over your ears and the room recedes. The hum of the city softens, the textures of a recording open up, and what remains is the music as it was meant to be heard. That sensation, refined over decades of Danish craftsmanship, is the thread running through every model in the Beoplay range.
At Brussee, an official Bang & Olufsen dealer since 1995, we have spent years helping listeners find the headphones that suit their lives. This guide walks you through the complete B&O headphone collection, from the flagship over-ear pieces to the discreet in-ear earbuds, so you can choose with confidence.

Why Bang & Olufsen headphones
Bang & Olufsen has never treated sound as a purely technical pursuit. From the studios in Struer, Denmark, each product is shaped by a belief that the way an object feels in the hand and looks on a shelf matters as much as the way it performs. You sense this the moment you handle a pair: anodised aluminium with a cool, deliberate weight, lambskin and memory foam cushions that settle against the skin, and finishes chosen with the eye of a designer rather than an engineer.
This is design-forward audio in the truest sense. The materials are premium because they last, and they last because they are made to be lived with. A Beoplay headphone is not a gadget to be replaced each season; it is a considered object intended to age gracefully alongside you.
Over-ear vs in-ear: where to begin
The first decision is also the simplest: do you want over-ear headphones or in-ear earbuds? Each form has its own character.
Over-ear models surround the ear completely, which lends them a fuller, more immersive presentation and a comfort that suits long listening sessions at home, in the studio or on the plane. They make a statement, both visually and sonically, and tend to offer the most generous sense of space and the most effective isolation.
In-ear earbuds, by contrast, are made for movement. They slip into a pocket, disappear in the ear and stay put through a commute, a workout or a walk through the city. If portability and discretion guide your day, earbuds will feel like the natural choice.
Many of our clients eventually own both: an over-ear pair for considered listening and a set of earbuds for life in motion.

Over-ear headphones
Beoplay H100: the flagship
The Beoplay H100 is where Bang & Olufsen’s ambitions converge. Slip it on and the experience is enveloping: titanium drivers reproduce music with a precision and openness that feels less like listening and more like presence, optimised for the dimensional sweep of Dolby Atmos. Advanced noise cancellation draws a quiet circle around you, wherever you happen to be.
What sets the H100 apart, though, is its philosophy. It is conceived as a new technology platform rather than a fixed product, designed to grow through updates over time. Its modular construction means the battery, headband, cushions and even the drivers are serviceable and replaceable, so the headphone can be renewed rather than retired. With warranty cover of up to five years, this is an investment intended to remain at your side for the long term.
The H100 is offered in four considered finishes: Hourglass Sand, Sunset Apricot, Infinite Black and Century Brown. Prices begin at EUR 1,700, rising to EUR 1,800 depending on finish.
Beoplay H95: refined everyday luxury
The Beoplay H95 is the quintessential B&O over-ear: luxurious to wear, effortless to live with. It pairs noise cancellation with an adjustable, grab-and-go design that invites you to reach for it without ceremony. There is a tactile pleasure to its controls and a quiet confidence to its proportions.
Available in Gold Tone, Black, Chesnut and Navy, the H95 is priced at EUR 749. For many listeners it strikes the ideal balance between flagship presence and everyday practicality.
Beoplay HX: the do-it-all companion
The Beoplay HX is the most versatile member of the over-ear family. Slim, timeless and genuinely comfortable, it is built to handle whatever the day asks of it, from a focused morning at the desk to a long-haul flight. Noise cancellation keeps distractions at bay, while the understated silhouette never draws undue attention.
Offered in Timber, Gold Tone and Black Anthracite, the HX is priced at EUR 490, making it an accessible entry into the Bang & Olufsen over-ear experience without compromise on craft.
In-ear earbuds
Beoplay Eleven
The Beoplay Eleven brings Bang & Olufsen’s most accomplished earbud isolation to a piece small enough to vanish in the ear. It pairs their best noise cancellation yet with a transparency mode that lets the world back in at a touch, so you can move between deep focus and easy awareness without removing the buds.
This is the earbud for listeners who refuse to trade quality for convenience. Priced at EUR 499, the Eleven sits at the premium end of the earbud market, and rightly so.
Beoplay EX
The Beoplay EX is wireless freedom distilled. Its ergonomic stick design sits securely in the ear and stays stable through activity, whether you are crossing the city or moving through a workout. Light, refined and reliable, the EX is the natural companion for a life on the move.
At EUR 250, it is the most accessible way into the Bang & Olufsen sound, and a favourite among those who want true wireless earbuds with genuine design pedigree.
Choosing by budget and use
If you are weighing the options, the table below maps the range to the way you intend to listen.
| If you want… | Consider | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The absolute best, built to last | Beoplay H100 | Titanium drivers, advanced noise cancellation, modular and serviceable, up to five years warranty |
| Everyday over-ear luxury | Beoplay H95 | Adjustable, grab-and-go elegance with noise cancellation |
| A versatile, timeless over-ear pair | Beoplay HX | Slim, comfortable all-rounder at an accessible price |
| Premium earbuds with serious isolation | Beoplay Eleven | Their best noise cancellation yet, plus transparency mode |
| Earbuds for movement and commuting | Beoplay EX | Stable, ergonomic stick design for active days |
| An entry into the B&O sound | Beoplay EX | The most accessible price in the range |
A simple way to decide: choose over-ear if your listening happens in calmer, seated moments and you value immersion. Choose in-ear if your days are active and portability comes first. And if your budget allows the H100, you are choosing not only a headphone but a platform designed to stay current for years to come.
