Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX

Bang & Olufsen's HX headphones prioritize luxury design and materials (lambskin, aluminum) alongside very good sound and ANC. The sound signature is typically B&O: detailed, spacious, and slightly bright. Adaptive ANC adjusts based on environment. Battery life is exceptional at up to 35 hours.

They support aptX Adaptive and MQA for high-resolution streaming. While their ANC isn't the absolute strongest, they offer a compelling mix of style, build quality, and audio performance for users who value aesthetics and premium materials as much as technical specs.
