Bang & Olufsen headphones: features and range

Nowadays, almost every music lover has a headphone. This device can be in a variety of designs. Each separate type of headset is characterized by its own technical characteristics and other important features. Today we will take a look at the characteristics and range of Bang & Olufsen headphones.

The headphones of the popular Danish company Bang & Olufsen are premium products. Their cost starts from 10 thousand rubles. The devices of this company are distinguished by their stylish and unusual external design; they are available in various colors. These headsets are most often sold in small stylish cases. Under this brand, various types of headphones are produced today, including wired, wireless Bluetooth models, overhead, full-size samples. Bang & Olufsen headsets are perfect for everyday use. They have excellent ergonomics and are able to reproduce the highest quality sound.

In the assortment of products of this brand, you can find a large number of varieties of such equipment for listening to music.

These models are designs that are worn directly on the user's head. The product completely covers the human ears and provides a good level of noise isolation. This group includes models H4 2nd gen, H9 3rd gen, H9 3rd gen AW19. The headsets are available in brown, beige, light pink, black, gray colors. They are produced with a voice assistant, which can be called by pressing a special button on the left ear cup.

Models in this category are most often equipped with a small electret microphone. The base of the structure is made from a metal base, leather and special foam are used to create the headband and bowls. The products have a built-in powerful battery that allows the device to work continuously for more than 10 hours. One set with the device also includes a cable (most often its length is 1.2 meters) with a mini-plug. The time for one full charge is about 2.5 hours.

Such designs are headsets that also overlap with the user's ears, but do not completely cover them. It is these models that are able to reproduce the most realistic sound. The assortment of this brand includes the Beoplay H8i on-ear headphones. They can be produced in black, beige, pale pink colors.

Beoplay H8i is equipped with a special noise reduction system, it protects against extraneous noise when listening to music. The model features a sleek and modern exterior with streamlined ergonomics. It is lightweight for optimum listening comfort. The product is equipped with a special sound transmission mode. It allows you to filter out ambient noise.

Besides, the model has special touch sensors that are able to automatically start and pause music playbackwhen putting on or taking off the device. Beoplay H8i is made from quality materials. For their production, a special anodized aluminum is used. And also natural leather is taken to create the bowls.

Such models are headphones that are inserted directly into the human ears. They are held tightly with ear pads. In-ear headphones come in two varieties.

• Regular. This option has a relatively small inner part; with their constant use, a person practically does not feel any discomfort. But at the same time, they cannot sufficiently protect the user from extraneous sounds.

• In-ear models differ from the previous version in that they have a slightly elongated inner part. It makes it possible to completely protect a person from ambient noise, but too deep penetration into the ears can cause some discomfort with constant use. These types of devices are distinguished by their special sound power. They also have the most compact dimensions and relatively low cost when compared with other models.

Bang & Olufsen manufactures earbuds such as Beoplay E8 2.0, Beoplay E8 Motion, Beoplay H3, Beoplay E8 2.0 and Charging Pad, Beoplay E6 AW19. These designs are available in black, dark brown, beige, pale pink, white and gray. In-ear headphones from this brand are often sold in a small case that can support the Qi standard for a wireless charger to connect to power. This case provides three full charges.

In-ear devices can operate continuously for up to 16 hours after being fully charged. Products provide the most realistic music reproduction. Often, along with them in one set, you can find several pairs of additional small earbuds. High quality aluminum, leather, woven textiles and stainless steel are used in the production of these headphones.

There are some important rules to follow when buying the right headphone model.

• Be sure to look at the type of headphones in advance. Models with a headband will be able to provide maximum listening comfort as they do not fit directly into the ears, they just nestle slightly against them. If the model is heavy enough, the headband may put too much pressure on the head. In-ear headphones will not press on the user's head, but some models, especially in-ear headphones, can cause discomfort, since they are inserted deep into the ears.
• Remember that the different varieties differ from each other in the level of sound insulation. So, in-channel and full-size types are better able to protect against ambient extraneous noise. Other models, even at a high volume, will not be able to completely isolate the user from unnecessary noise.
• Consider the connection type of the device before purchasing. The most convenient and practical option is wireless products. They provide freedom of movement, you can easily move around in them. Some models of these devices are specially designed for active sports activities (Beoplay E8 Motion). Corded models can interfere with free movement due to long wires. But their cost is usually well below the cost of wireless samples.
• Pay attention to the additional functions of different models. Many more expensive products are often equipped with a special waterproof system that prevents damage to the device if water or sweat gets on them. In addition, there are samples with systems for the rapid transfer of information with other equipment. And also they can be produced with the option for making vibrating alerts.
• Please check some of the headphone specifications in advance. So, look at the frequency range. The standard range is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. The wider this indicator is, the wider the spectrum of sounds the user will be able to hear.Among the important technical parameters, one can also single out the sensitivity of the technique. Most often it is 100 dB. In-ear headphones may also have a lower rating.

As a rule, along with the device itself, a small instruction manual is included in one set. In it you can find information that will help you connect it to Bluetooth, enable and disable music playback. In addition, the instructions contain a detailed diagram that will help you connect the equipment to a power source for recharging. Immediately after unpacking a new model, it is better to send it to charge for a short time. Headsets cannot be removed during this time.

If you have purchased a model with a special case-battery, then you must first remove it from this case, and then touch the right earphone in order to turn on the device. After that, the product indicator will change color to white, a short beep will sound, which means that the headphones are ready for use.
