Bang & OlufsenBeoplay H100 Premium Wireless Active Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones with Protective Carrying Case,Hourglass Sand

Tested H95s and returned since they don’t compare (ambience & depth) to the Master & Dynamic earphones I have been using for the past few years. I then came across H100 (didn’t know it existed). Purchased it with the feeling that it may likely be returned due to same reasons as H95s (perhaps due to my inherent bias with earphones).H100s surprised me from the first minute of listening. These are fantastic headphones - not by degrees but by a generation (paradigm shift) compared to the H95s. No wonder it’s priced almost double!I remember a statement by the manager of a Bentley car dealership as I was finishing the paperwork (some years ago). He said when you buy vehicles like Bentley, question is not about whether it’s worth the premium, rather it’s whether you deserve it. As much as it sounds like a good marketing strategy, something reminded me about that statement when it came to purchasing these headphones.My verdict - If you can “comfortably” afford it (akin to a tree falling in the woods), this is the absolute best sounding headphones I have owned!

For people who are not sound engineers but not mer mortals either with good sense of sound and music, this are just the best headphones made right now. I ve got other popular high end brands, BO.., BOW, Dj brands also but this headphones are exquisite to your whole senses. Its amazing, and I won’t refer to the design because they look as poor people can be seen next to you, extremely poorest if wearing them by their side, they are Just… perfect

I have quite a number of Bluetooth headphones and earbuds, including some that are relatively expensive. I can say that the sound quality of the H100 is every bit as good as any of them. But far better? I don't think so. ANC is really nice, with no hissing even at maximum strength.The multipoint connection works for the headphones (I have connected to both an iPhone 14 and and iPad 9th Gen), but the B&O app is only working on one device at a time. The app itself allows the usual stuff - some controls customization, and equalization with both presets and custom settings. It also does software updates, even in the background (cool!).What stands out even more than the sound quality is the user experience. The rotating dials (for volume and ANC strength) and touch controls (for track selection and call answering) are just a pleasure to use. Simply putting them on your head or putting them back in the case turns the headphones on/off. The ear cups and headband are extremely comfortable. And of course, these headphones look great.I also like the idea of replaceable components (albeit expensive ones). But will I take advantage of this five years from now, or will there be something even better on the market by then? I think the latter is more likely.Of course the elephant in the room is the price. I would not pay this much for the sound quality alone. But if you have the cash, and really like a great UX and sustainability, as well as great sound, why not?

I originally bought these because I thought the H-95 didn’t have enough power and volume. I must say that not only do the H-100 have more power, but the sound quality for a wireless pair of headphones is unbelievable. I don’t have the words to describe properly or to give these headphones justice. But the clarity, separation of instruments, the bass must be heard to understand and appreciate. I know they are heinously expensive but if you have the money and are an audiophile you need to check them out. I told myself well if they don’t perform up to the price tag I’ll send them back. I put on LED Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven and within 30 seconds I had decided to keep them.The materials are of course top notch. They are very comfortable and the ANC is very much improved over the H-95’s. They are still not as good as Sony, Bose, or Apple’s headphones for ANC, but they are very close. The microphones are good and phone calls are great and sound natural. They have 30-40 hours of playtime and the coolest thing is the auto shutoff and turn on is simply taking them off or putting them on. It’s a really cool feature and better than any other headphones I have owned. But above everything else is the sound quality. Nothing and I mean nothing even comes close to them in this department.

My H 100 i use for traveling the greatest sound from my iphone music subscription nothing comes close to the sound from the headphones.

Lack of bass compared to the H95. Better build material but the headband was makes creaking noise when walking around. Touch control is an improvement. The Dolby Atmos function seems to be useless, it reduces sound quality. I leave it off all the time. For the price you could have brought focal Bathys, H95 used, and possibly px8 used or a full hifi system with focal Celestee and ifi zen signature DAC/Amp.
