With the latest generation of adaptive active noise cancellation, the Beoplay HX effectively compensates for and eliminates background noise. High-quality materials and a snug design provide effective sound isolation, allowing you to keep your listening experience to yourself – ideal when working from home and not wanting to disturb your family. Four dedicated microphones ensure optimal clarity of speech and sound when you need to make a call.
The Beoplay HX is finely tuned by industry-leading engineers to ensure that the music in your ears sounds exactly as the artist intended. Custom 40mm drivers with neodymium magnets deliver a precise and immersive listening experience. Additionally, you can customize your sound profile through BeoSonic in the Bang & Olufsen app and adjust the ANC levels to suit your needs, no matter where you are.
The design of the Beoplay HX focuses on lightweight and durable materials, making it perfect for a comfortable listening experience. The headband features a comfort zone in the middle that reduces pressure and allows for extended wear, while the ear cushions made of soft lambskin and memory foam gently frame the face. The materials were chosen for their high comfort and durability.

Source: Digitec GalaxusNew in Stiftung Warentest's headphone comparison: 32 current in-ear and headband headphones. One of them delivers top sound, another is top fit for sports. In addition to the test winners, the current test offers many other good headphones. With long battery runtimes of up to almost 86 hours, the headphones with earpieces scored particularly well...
The B&O Beoplay HX has a noble finish and is perfect for modern working nomads thanks to its high wearing comfort, balanced music reproduction and great speech intelligibility when talking on the phone. The ANC works well, but it cannot fully compensate for the small noise deficiency of the earcups. Exemplary: B&O replaces the battery during servicing.
It is small and light and delights with a wonderfully balanced sound: the B&O Beosound HX is a full-featured over-ear headphone. This headphone could well find its place in the recording studio. It's a pity that touch operation and ANC are poor.
