Bang-Olufsen, the Danish brand synonymous with exclusivity and sophistication, has a new take on wireless earbuds: Beoplay EX. Designed by Thomas Bentzen, the new earbuds feature adaptive active noise cancellation and outstanding sound quality paired with a snug-fit design in a sleek package. Will they be the best bang for the buck, though? Remains to be seen, but that would have to be one serious bang considering the buck: $399.

Fashion Meets Fidelity
Beoplay EX earbuds boast a unique glass touch surface and a protective aluminum outer ring. They are IP57 waterproof: come rain, come shine, the Beoplay EX will function perfectly. No such thing as bad weather, just wrong earbuds, eh?
With their snug-fit ergonomic design, you will never want to take these off. They promise fuller bass and a level of detail never before seen in such a compact form. Small but mighty, these buds feature the technology to monitor ambient outside sounds to enhance your listening experience. Basically, they can distinguish between your voice and background noise so your calls will always be crystal clear.
With active noise cancelation, the battery lasts up to 6 hours, and without it up to 8 hours.
You can personalize your listening experience completely as presets are available and fully customizable via Bang & Olufsen App.
The Buy
Beoplay EX will be available from the beginning of May in Black Anthracite, Anthracite Oxigen, and Gold Tone, for an expectedly hefty price of $399. Considering they’re more expensive than even the AirPods Pro, their ‘superior sound’ better match the reality.
