Get ready to dive into the world of cutting-edge audio with Bang & Olufsen’s latest high-end earbuds, the Beoplay Eleven. Designed to elevate your listening experience, these premium earbuds promise to outshine their predecessor, the Beoplay Ex, with superior noise cancellation capabilities and enhanced transparency features. Plus, in a nod to sustainability, they come with replaceable batteries in line with new European Union regulations.
With a price tag of $499, the Beoplay Eleven stands out as a luxury accessory, albeit at a steep cost. For comparison, it’s only $50 less than two sets of Apple’s AirPods Pro 2. But these earbuds don’t just rely on brand prestige—they pack in some impressive features. Encased in materials like aluminum and toughened glass, they are lightweight at just 6 grams per earbud, and boast an IP57 rating, making them both dust and water-resistant.
The Beoplay Eleven doesn’t skimp on technology. Equipped with 9.2mm drivers and a set of six MEMS omni-directional microphones, they offer not just top-notch audio but also clear call quality with the Wind Guard feature. Touch controls allow for easy operation, while Bluetooth 5.2 supports seamless connectivity with features like Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair. They are also Made for iPhone (MFi) certified and support various codecs, including aptX Adaptive, AAC, and SBC.
On the battery front, users can enjoy up to 6 hours of playback with active noise cancellation (ANC) and 20 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC off, that extends to 8 hours of playback and 28 hours with the case. These earbuds charge conveniently via USB-C or Qi wireless charging. While the batteries are replaceable, they require a service center visit, aligning with the EU’s upcoming sustainability requirements for consumer electronics.
Fashioned in Natural Aluminum with the promise of a Copper Tone version by mid-December, the Beoplay Eleven is available for purchase now. Included in the box are four sizes of silicone tips and a USB-C cable, ensuring you have everything you need to enjoy a premium audio experience out of the box.
Bang & Olufsen have long been synonymous with luxury audio, and the Beoplay Eleven continues that tradition, combining cutting-edge technology with sleek elegance for the discerning audiophile.
