Review: Incredible - Incredible sound, I find them very comfortable very lightweight. The sound quality is superb but a little lacking in sub bass, compared to the Sony xm4 which have an incredible sub base sound. The overall sound is absolutely superb with the Sony, but I love the look of the Bangs They are as classy as they get. I do find that the B & O app doesn't really give you any real creativity. I would much prefer a traditional, graphic equaliser with sliders and not the preset dial thing, I like to be able to turn up the sub bass to give me that moving almost undetectable, feeling you get with good quality, very low bass (Sony xm4) does this so well.. I do have B & O Tower speakers at home and they sound superb, but they to suffer with a little lack of bass I don't think I would've paid £400 for these. I think £265 is enough I don't think you can go wrong with these at all. I have listened to a lot of audiophile tracks on desertcart Prime and they are absolutely incredible, especially playing classical, you can hear every stroke of the violin and the intake of breath from the performers.. I have an update on these incredible headphones, I have managed to tune them just right for a full subbase experience, I left these running for a few hours with a 5hz to 20hz sloping signal going through these at full volume, and I can tell you that the drivers seem to have improved the bass response, I have heard something like this been done before with speakers and it’s true, they need to be worn in a little bit
Review: Great sound, fabulous looks, well made … - I’ve had these headphones for 2 years and 3 months now and I am very impressed with them. They’re not noise cancelling but I don’t really care about that. I do care about sound quality and the Beoplay HX does not disappoint. The sound is crisp, balanced and loud without being annying. I wear these to the gym and put them through a few sweaty work outs every week and over 2 years on, they haven’t flinched. The icing on the cake is the stunning retro looks which I really love. It is true that you get what you pay for and I’d say if you have the budget, just go for these fabulously engineered headphones. You won’t be disappointed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: On the Bang and Olufsen website there is a 30 day trial period, do these also come with that same trial period?**
A: No, but Amazon has a 30-day return policy so it matches Bang and Olufsen’s 30 day trial on their website.

**Q: Does this include a warranty like if purchased on the B&O site?**
A: Of Course - Yes, exactly the same warranty. You can register them on the B&O site after purchase.

**Q: Can these headphones be used with the bluetooth turned off using a standard 3.5mm mini jack or jack cable ?**
A: Yes

**Q: Can these headphones be used with a cable**
A: Yes but only if they have some juice. They can't work if you ran out of battery, not even with a cable. They always need to be switched on to work, wireless but also wired.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing
*by C***S on 28 March 2026*

A pair of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX headphones—this is luxury audio done at a very high level. Very high level. Everything about them feels intentional, refined, and genuinely enjoyable to use. First of all—the comfort is outstanding. Really outstanding. You put them on and they just disappear into your routine. The ear cushions are soft, the clamping force is balanced, and you can wear them for hours without thinking about them. That’s the key test for premium headphones, and these pass it easily. Now the design—absolutely beautiful. Minimal, clean, and unmistakably high-end. There’s a quiet confidence to them. Nothing aggressive, nothing overdone. Just a very polished, Scandinavian sense of style that works anywhere—home, travel, office, anywhere at all. And I have to say—I get genuinely excited about products like this. You pick them up and immediately feel the quality. The materials, the finish, the precision in the hinges—it all feels carefully considered. There’s no wasted detail. Sound quality is where they really come alive. Very immersive, very balanced, very controlled. You get clarity without harshness, bass without muddiness, and a wide, spacious feel that makes music and film both more engaging. It’s not just loud or boosted—it’s refined. I also really appreciate the wireless experience. It’s seamless. Pairing is quick, controls are intuitive, and switching between devices feels smooth. That kind of reliability makes a huge difference in daily use. And I’ll be honest—there’s something almost addictive about putting them on. The combination of comfort, isolation, and sound quality creates a kind of instant focus. You put them on and everything just becomes better organised, more controlled, more enjoyable. Battery life is also excellent, which means you’re not constantly thinking about charging. You just use them, enjoy them, and move on.
