Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Eleven Premium Wireless in-Ear Earbuds with Bluetooth 5.2 and Active Noise Cancellation, Natural Aluminum

so heres my full review on these earbuds im going to go over everything i like and dont likestarting off with everything i like:the sound quality is incredible its so well balanced so open so clear and great bass, the fit and comfort are also great but i did half to buy some better eartips for my ears, the touch controls are the best ive used on any pair of earbuds and i love how they change when you put one earbud in, i also like when you put both earbuds in they default to ANC and when you have one in they default to transparency, and the battery life is really good as well, and last the build quality is the best.now for everything i dont like and what needs improvements:The first thing that needs to be improved now this goes for any Bang and Olufsen products and thats the app now the app is simple to use and easy to navigate but the problem is it lags a lot now the app has gotten better over the years but still very buggy still usable but needs to be polished more, the next thing that needs to be improved is the ANC the ANC on these earbuds isnt the greastist and is on the weaker side its still good and gets the job done but its needs some major improvents, last is the connectivity these are still using bluetooth 5.2 which is still good and i havent had any connection issues but i wanna see bluetooth 5.4 or atleast 5.3.so overall these are some incredible sounding earbuds but they do have some flaws to them and a heafty price tag so i recomend getting these on sale like i did but even if you do spend the full price on these i still think there worth it they really do sound that good even with some of there flaws i think the sound still justifys there price

Okay so when I first got them I was slightly underwhelmed especially at this price point. But after updating it to the latest firmware and giving it a whole week to formulate an opinion I have since then redacted my own opinion. Definitely take a week to see if you like them. I was throwing so many different genres at these and they absolutely nailed all of them.These sound absolutely amazing, and it only becomes apparent when you start adjusting the EQ. The EQ is not like traditional EQ, it's a circle chart where you select how you want the sound to be. I like to have bass and some clarity. So I'm in the middle of bass and treble mode.These sound phenomenal at any type of genre I've listened with them. I'm talking bring me the horizon, tate McRae, Travis Scott, Linkin Park, guns n roses, nirvana. The clarity of the sound speaks volumes and the bass is very deep and RUMBLES. I'm telling you listening to breakin Benjamin I heard all the instruments, the drums sounded so good.Despite all of that I will say there are some downsides, the anc is alright. It's definitely not Bose or Sony level at all. You can still hear things around you at mid volume with anc on. As far as transparency mode it's pretty good, have no real issues.The comfort on these earbuds are next level. If you like how airpod pros fit, these are pretty much right up your alley. They feel just as good if not better and have no issues rocking these daily.Lastly is the battery life, it lasts about average a whole work shift (8 hours) without anc. With ANC I would have to charge during lunchtime for about 30 minutes (6hours) and can rock out for the rest of the day until I get home.

Sound ok but horrible ANC. I mean I thought they were turned off - that is how bad they were. Seek elsewhere for sound and anc. Look at the Noble FoKus - blows these away and the sound is excellent!

I consider myself an audiophile and enjoy trying out new speakers and headphones. This is my first experience with a Bang & Olufsen sound product. To provide some context for comparison, I've used other similar products like Apple's AirPods Pro 2, Powerbeats Pro, Jabra Elite 10, and Plantronics Technics HiFi.The Bang & Olufsen earbuds are similar in size to the AirPods Pro. The case supports wireless charging but not MagSafe. The earbuds offer 6 hours of battery life with active noise canceling (ANC) on, and a total of 20 hours with the charging case, which is comparable to the prior mentioned competitors. The Beoplay Eleven comes with 5 different silicone earbud tips: XS, S, M, L, and one called Comply, making it easy to find a great fit. My perfect fit was the M which is installed on the earbuds out of the box.The earbuds connect to your phone via a free app from the App Store. Once installed and logged in, you follow the prompts to connect to Bluetooth. However, the app offers more than just connectivity. It allows you to customize the touchpad functions, such as play/pause, activating ANC, or using your smart assistant like Siri. The touch controls on the earbuds are user friendly, including the volume control, which I prefer over the AirPods or Jabra Elite. Volume is adjusted by a double tap and hold, quickly increasing or decreasing the volume depending on which side earbud you press. The AirPods' swipe feature or the constant tapping of the Jabra is definitely inferior. However, in my opinion, nothing is better than the hard buttons on the Powerbeats Pro.The app also includes a unique built in radio feature. Once the headphones are connected to the phone and app, one tab offers hundreds of free radio stations from around the world that you can listen to and favorite for easier access.Regarding sound quality and ANC, the sound is excellent for earbuds. As expected, they don't match up to over ear headphones like my AirPods Max or Sonos Ace, but compared to other wireless earbuds, they are very good. The highs and mids are extremely clear, though the bass is somewhat lacking. AirPods Pro focuses more on deeper bass notes, and in a direct comparison, the B&O lacks the same punch. If your main interest is music with deep bass, these may not meet your needs. The ANC performs well. Again, not as effective as over ear headphones, but it effectively blocks out a lot of noise with its ANC and sound isolation from the earbuds themselves.The B&O earbuds are quite comfortable and easy to insert and remove from my ears. The circular part with the B&O logo protrudes just enough to make placing and removing the earbuds easy. I sometimes find it challenging to remove my AirPods Pro because they are so rounded and slick.Overall, I am very satisfied with the B&O Beoplay Eleven earbuds. They are a great alternative to some other options available, but they come with a much higher price tag. At the time of writing this review, they are priced at $475, nearly double the cost of the AirPods, PowerBeats Pro, and Jabra Elite 10's. Unfortunately, I find it difficult to recommend this product over others due to the higher price and sound quality. The other alternatives sound equal or better at a much lower price point. If you're a Bang & Olufsen fan, these won't disappoint you, but I believe there are better options out there.
