Taipei, Taiwan (September 5, 2024) – Danish audio brand Bang & Olufsen has launched its latest flagship headphones, the Beoplay H100, in Taiwan. The new headphones are a testament to Bang & Olufsen’s commitment to quality and design, offering an unparalleled listening experience.
Sleek Design and Premium Build
The Beoplay H100 continues Bang & Olufsen’s legacy of elegant design and exceptional build quality. The headphones feature a sleek, minimalist look with a choice of three colors: Dark Night Black, Timeless Sand, and Sunset Apricot. The Dark Night Black option is a classic, while the Timeless Sand and Sunset Apricot offer a more subtle, North European aesthetic with hints of gold and peach tones.
Enhanced Detail and Sound Quality
Bang & Olufsen has made significant improvements in both detail and sound quality with the Beoplay H100. The headphones weigh 375 grams, providing a comfortable fit without any pressure. The upper part of the headphones is made of high-quality leather, with the headband and earcups being replaceable. The earpads, which are prone to wear, are crafted from sheepskin, showcasing the attention to detail that defines Bang & Olufsen’s luxury offerings.
User-Friendly Controls
The Beoplay H100 features physical controls on both sides for volume adjustment, toggling between noise cancellation and transparent mode, and pairing with devices. The glass touch panel is highly responsive, allowing users to play or pause music, skip tracks, reject calls, or end conversations with simple taps. Additionally, covering the entire touch panel quickly switches to Listen Mode, pausing music to allow for clear communication.
Connectivity and Battery Life
The headphones are equipped with USB-C charging ports and physical buttons for toggling noise cancellation and transparent modes. The packaging includes the Beoplay H100 headphones, two connection cables (USB-C to 3.5mm audio jack and USB-C to USB-C charging cable), and a leather storage case. The storage case also features a magnetic design for complete protection of the headphones.
Smart Features and Long Battery Life
An interesting feature is the automatic low-power mode when the headphones are not in the storage case and not being worn. The headphones can remain in standby mode for up to 90 days, and when placed back in the storage case, they will enter a fully closed state with a standby time exceeding one year.
Specifications and Compatibility
The Beoplay H100 is equipped with 40mm custom titanium driver units that support Hi-Res audio. It features Bluetooth 5.3, Google Fast Pair, Apple MFi certification, and IP53 dust and water resistance. The headphones support AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. With 10 microphones, the headphones can connect to up to two devices, with a software update planned for next year to support multi-point connection with up to three devices. The headphones can also be paired with Bang & Olufsen’s own app for spatial sound effect adjustments.
Conclusion
Bang & Olufsen’s Beoplay H100 is not just a high-end audio device; it is a statement of the brand’s commitment to excellence in design, sound quality, and functionality. Despite its premium price tag, the Beoplay H100 offers a level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that is truly remarkable. For those who value luxury and sound quality, the Beoplay H100 is a must-consider headphones.
