Bang & Olufsen have today announced their first wireless earphones with the Beoplay H5, a pair of earphones designed for active people who enjoy great quality sound.
The Beoplay H5 are designed by Scandinavian designer Jakob Wagner and contain all the Bang & Olufsen goodness including their Signature Sound and integration with the Beoplay App which gives access to multiple preset sound profiles.
The earphones come with a braided textile cable connecting the earpieces which are made out of textured rubber and polymer to resist sweat and moisture. The earpieces can fit snugly in your ear canals with a choice of up to 7 ear tips that you can change to find the perfect fit. The 7 tips include large, medium and small sized rugged, heat sensitive and breathable Comply Sport foam tips which have a SweatGuard membrane to prevent sweat from entering the sound port, or four sizes of regular silicone tips.
The Beoplay H5 earpieces have a diamond cut and radially polished aluminium plate on each earpiece and a magnet you can use to lock them around your neck when not in use.
The sound quality on the Beoplay H5 are driven by the 6.4mm dynamic speaker in each earpiece, as well as a small electromagnetic transducer. The Beoplay H5 also has a Bluetooth 4.2 chip with Digital Sound Processing.
Senior Vice President of B&O PLAY Henrik Taudorf Lorensen said of the BeoPlay H5
