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

MG20 Wireless Gaming Headphones
- Positioning: Budget-friendly wireless headphones designed specifically for gaming.
- Description: Delivers clear sound and low latency that suits fast-paced gameplay, with a focus on comfort during long sessions. Compared to the MH40 and MW75 series, it offers fewer advanced noise cancellation and processing techniques, making it ideal for users on a tighter budget and who play in small spaces.
ME05
- Positioning: Entry-level model aimed at portability and everyday use.
- Description: Features a compact design with reliable wireless connectivity and straightforward controls that support casual listening. While it lacks the specialized tuning of the gaming MG20 and the active noise cancellation of the MW75 products, it may suit users with moderate budgets and daily portability needs.
MH40 Wireless Over Ear Headphones V2
- Positioning: Mid-range wireless headphones focused on everyday over-ear listening comfort.
- Description: Delivers balanced sound with improved battery life and a comfortable fit that enhances everyday use. Compared to the MG20 and entry-level ME05, it steps up on audio quality without adopting the premium noise cancellation and processing features found in the MW75 models.
MW75 Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones
- Positioning: High-end headphones featuring advanced active noise cancellation for immersive listening.
- Description: Combines effective noise cancelling with high-fidelity sound quality, offering a refined listening experience in various settings. While it provides a clear upgrade in noise reduction over the MH40 and MG20, it is outclassed in specialized processing by the Neuro variant.
MW75 Neuro
- Positioning: Premium flagship enhanced with innovative sensor technology for adaptive sound processing.
- Description: Uses smart sensor features with active noise cancellation to adapt audio performance on the fly, offering a tailored experience in larger or noisier environments. Relative to the standard MW75, MH40, and MG20, it delivers more nuanced audio performance and additional functionality.

Our take on the brand

They've also created unique products, such as a 35-pound wireless speaker with a concrete composite enclosure, and integrated EEG sensors into headphones to track focus and trigger brain-break prompts.

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.
