What reviewers think

Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.

Product Strengths

  • Amazing sound quality with wide soundstage and airy, ethereal sounds, especially in the treble, create a magical experience
  • Very comfortable, despite being heavier than some alternatives, with earcups that wrap around the ear and a redesigned headband

Product Considerations

  • Warranty experience may vary significantly depending on location and travel habits, so the global warranty should not be taken at face value
  • Color options are limited, and some lighter colors may stain easily
  • Lack of high-resolution Bluetooth codec support at the time of some reviews, although promised for a future update

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs Bang & Olufsen H95: H100 has a massive soundstage and is more comfortable
  • Vs Focal Bathys: H100 offers a smooth, neutral, and refined sound signature, while Focal Bathys delivers a more dynamic and energetic sound

Takeaway: The Beoplay H100 provides excellent sound and comfort, delivering a luxurious experience with high-quality materials and build quality. It is a top-tier product for people who want great design and sound.

What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Brand highlights

Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:

  • Bang & Olufsen products exhibit exceptional build quality and use premium materials, resulting in a luxurious feel and sophisticated aesthetic.

Beoplay EX  

  • Positioning: The entry-level true wireless option focused on essential wireless audio.  
  • Description: Offers impressive wireless connectivity with a warm and balanced sound that suits daily commutes and small spaces. In contrast to the earphones and headphones with more advanced features, it meets basic functionality needs at the lowest price point in the lineup.  

Beoplay Eleven  

  • Positioning: A mid-range earbud designed for improved call quality and active noise control.  
  • Description: Delivers refined sound with better noise cancellation and voice clarity, making it a strong choice for busy urban settings. Compared to the EX's basic performance, it provides enhanced features without reaching the price or feature complexity of over-ear models.  

Beoplay HX  

  • Positioning: A mid-range over-ear headphone emphasizing balanced sound and digital customization.  
  • Description: Features customizable equalizer settings through a companion app and a fuller soundstage suited for varied listening environments. Unlike the more compact earphones in the lineup, it offers a richer audio experience and improved control options.

Beoplay H95  

  • Positioning: A high-end over-ear headphone developed for superior active noise cancellation and refined sound quality.  
  • Description: Stands out with advanced noise cancellation and an intuitive control scheme integrated with a companion app, making it well-suited for larger spaces and high-demand use cases. In comparison to the HX, it provides more sophisticated noise control and build quality.

Beoplay H100  

  • Positioning: The flagship over-ear headphone offering premium design and enhanced connectivity features.  
  • Description: Impresses with exceptional build quality, innovative connectivity options like a detachable cable and aptX support, and technology that caters to audiophiles with high budget tolerances. When measured against the H95, it delivers a different balance of comfort and flexible use.

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Gorgeous design and fantastic build quality with premium materials, like titanium, aluminum, lambskin leather, and cowhide leather
  • Extremely comfortable and lightweight (around 323-333 grams), with oval-shaped earcups suitable for larger ears for long listening periods
  • Intuitive controls, including a mix of touch and physical controls, like responsive touchpads and tactile dials for precise volume and ANC adjustments
  • Sound quality is well-balanced and versatile, making them suitable for various music genres, with particularly good performance for classical music, podcasts, and rock
  • Amazing noise cancellation performance, effectively blocking out mid- and treble-range noises

Product Considerations

  • Very high retail price
  • Earcups are not very deep
  • Not very portable due to a bulky design
  • A heavier side, which can develop a little bit of strain on the back of the neck
  • The Bang & Olufsen app does not work well, spending a long time trying to connect to the H95 most of the time

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs Focal Bathys: The Focal Bathys is cheaper and better in sound quality
  • Vs Bose QC45s: The Bose QC45s are a little bit more effective in cancelling the high end of mid-range frequencies that you would get from a busy cafe
  • Vs AirPods Max: The H95 manages to separate all the layers very beautifully, the AirPods Max is not on par
  • Vs Bowers & Wilkins PX8: The PX8 is more muffled
  • Vs Cambridge Audio P100: The P100 has more clarity and crisp sound to that treble without having that sibilance

Takeaway: If you want a luxurious pair of headphones with amazing build quality and very good noise cancellation, the Beoplay H95 could be a good option. The sound quality is great, and they are comfortable to wear for long listening sessions.
