  • Clear calls, low wind noise
  • Stable app with custom EQ, wear sensor
  • Vivid, detailed, engaging sound, slightly warm
  • Premium look and feel, comfortable
  • Clean, stable app with EQ

Cons

  • High price
  • Noise cancelling bettered by cheaper rivals
  • ANC can be bettered (Sony beats it)
  • Very expensive; strong cheaper rivals
  • ANC good but not best-in-class
  • No IP rating
  • Very high price
  • Tom's GuideMar 2022

    Understated for B&O and better for it: lovely, energetic sound and comfort, but costly and ANC is beaten by cheaper rivals.

  • TechRadarJul 2021

    Stylish, lively-sounding B&O with a great app; ANC only so-so for the money.

  • T3May 2022

    Worth a look for big spenders: looks as good as it sounds with plenty of app control.
