Beoplay H100, ergonomics and active noise reduction££££ Of course, Beoplay H100 features wearer detection: simply place it on your ears and start playing music, no more power button needed! Lifting one of the earpieces or placing the palm of your hand on it allows you to switch between Closed and Open mode to hear your sound environment as if the headphones weren’t there. Similarly, the haptic wheel allows you to activate TrueTransparency mode to perceive your sound environment, again as if the headphones were no longer required. It is also possible to personalize the user interface via the Bang & Olufsen app. The total battery life is 34 hours and a quick 5-minute charge offers up to 5 hours of additional listening. Active noise reduction uses 10 microphones for the most advanced transparency and sound attenuation process ever offered by B&O, for an unprecedented result. Beoplay H100, cradle-to-cradle principles££££ The Beoplay H100 headphones have been designed with longevity in mind based on cradle-to-cradle principles with certification planned for 2025. The latter promotes eco-design approaches in line with the eco-responsible values of the circular economy. The label takes into account the reuse of all raw materials in order to avoid the generation of waste in the life cycle of a product. The goal is to create eco-responsible products that can be fully recycled or reused at the end of their life, thus creating a continuous and sustainable cycle of production and consumption.
Thus, the Beoplay H100 allows the replacement of wearing parts (internal headband, ear cushions) and defective components (batteries, printed circuits, speakers, glass surface). In addition, it integrates the brand's scalable Mozart software platform. The Beoplay H100 will then be able to integrate the next new technologies, for example wireless high-resolution audio and Multipoint 3-Device. Note that the Beoplay H100 comes with a 5-year warranty with a subscription to Beocare (B&O warranty extension program), three years otherwise.
Beoplay H100, acoustic package££££ For the rest, on the substance therefore, the Beoplay H100 Bluetooth headset has 40 mm speakers made to measure and placed behind aluminum grilles. Compatibility with 96 kHz/24-bit signals is a given. The same goes for Spatial Audio compatibility ([abc]Dolby Atmos[/abc]). Another interesting asset is Head Tracking technology. With it, the position of the sound in space takes into account the orientation of your head: a guitar located on the left in the sound image will end up behind your head if you turn it to the right. The realism and sound immersion are therefore perfect. More details on the technical characteristics later. Immediate availability. Recommended price: 1,499 euros.
