  The sound lacks some dynamics and punch, and the neutral sound setting (Optimal) sounds downright tame, The wireless range is not impressive.

The B&O BeoPlay EX are the best in-ear buds I have ever tried and tested. Yes, they are extremely expensive, but they are worth the cost. If you can stretch to the $399 price, you’ll find a very comfortable pair of earbuds with a remarkably neutral sound signature, excellent noise canceling, and...

Tiny headphones that don’t compromise on audio quality.

  $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, Stems are a bit long, Battery life is merely average, which is disappointing at this price point

Bang & Olufsen has produced a sensational pair of wireless earbuds in the Beoplay EX, outmuscling the competition when it comes to sound quality.

• +

  Sound excellent, Well thought out industrial design, Good noise cancelling and call quality

  Expensive, Need to be connected in a specific way, No shortage of rivals

  Nice sound, They look great... like a luxury AirPod, Premium materials, Arrives with Comply Foam tips, Water resistant, Wireless charging

  May not be comfortable over a long period, Noise cancellation could be better, Very expensive for what they are

The Beoplay EX take Bang & Olufsen's earbuds in a new direction, with a stem and better levels of comfort. We're hugely impressed with the sound quality, although there's a question mark about their value, given the competition.

• +

  Typically brilliant sound, Improved comfort, Superb looks, Solid metal case

• -

  Too expensive, Still some room to improve on comfort, Battery life isn't outstanding

B&O doesn’t disappoint the clarity is really good.
