B&O's new Beoplay HX noise canceling headphones last an impressive 35 hours on a single charge

25 March 2021
And they have a price tag to match. 35 hours is with ANC on, by the way, you can squeeze out an extra 5 hours if you turn cancelation off.

Are you kidding me? It is extremely expensive and offers nothing special.

          I switched to iPhone because I had so many issues with my Android, from Samsung to LG and back to Samsung. The only problem with the iPhone (iPhone 4) was that it wasn't water-resistant. As for headphones, unsure if all are compatible with being fully integrated with SIRI.

          When I had a Razer, it wouldn’t even connect to my truck via Android Auto until a month and a half later, when an update rolled out. As for iPhone, it would flawlessly connect to my vehicle. Don't get me wrong, Android is excellent it’s just my luck that probably interfered with it.

              Anonymous, 25 Mar 2021AirPods max are nothing but an overpriced gimmick meant for... moreWhat do you base this silly statement on? On never having tried them? Apple has some serious tech built into these and in my experience, it works.

              I use Bose 700 and compared them to the AirPods Max. The Air Max is better built and is more "true" in sound quality (I like the bass punch of the Bose at a lower volume, but realize that it's a sound signature). I like the controls of the Apple product better and the microphone implementation on the AirPods Max is definitely better than the Bose, and the Bose 700 was the best of them all until the Air Max came out.

              I am not replacing the Bose 700 since they are perfectly fine for my needs, but Apple has a clearly better product, IMO.

              I have never loved B&O's headphones. They are beautifully made usually (I have an old pair somewhere), but have never had the best noise-cancelling and their sound and microphone performance is just average. Unless B&O has made radical changes, I'd be surprised if these are so different.

                beep bop boop, 25 Mar 2021i disagree the AirPods Max sound really good, but the Sony ... moreAnd to top it all off, Anker Q30 sound better than Apple or Sony ... for 60€.
                Not as good ANC through, but it makes you wonder for what are you paying that extra.

                            Position of controls is not good.

                            Ugly. Upper portion looks like blindfold.

                                Like the other guy said ” have you even tried them or are you just saying because it has an apple logo on its box?” he was very right and you just proved it :)

                                ” Sound quality. Of course for us, this is the big one. And – spoiler alert – we have been blown away by the AirPods Max. They really do take sound quality from wireless, noise-cancelling headphones to a whole new level compared to the Bose and Sony. They needed to, based on the price difference, but it really is a jump from wireless audio to wireless hi-fi.”

                                  - Audio quality is not on pair with counterparts from Sony, Bose and other brands.
                                  - ANC is weaker
                                  - battery endurance is much shorter (Sony's can last 35h ANC on and 40h ANC off)
                                  - the dumb case that does not protect it entirely and makes it look like woman's handybag.
                                  - no on/off button

                                  ** not sure about this, but it does not seem to have size adjustment like other 🎧.

                                  Even if it was $50 cheaper than competition, still would not be worth.
