- Is the Beoplay HX worth it over cheaper ANC headphones?
- It is worth it if build, materials and sound matter more to you than the strongest possible noise cancellation. If ANC is your priority, mainstream rivals cost less and cancel more.
- How good is the noise cancellation?
- The adaptive ANC handles engine and cabin noise well and the transparency mode is useful. It is not the strongest in its class, so very loud environments will still get through.
- How long does the battery last and how long to charge?
- Bang & Olufsen rates it at up to 40 hours over Bluetooth, and a full charge takes about 3 hours over USB-C. The battery is not user-replaceable.
- Can I use it wired?
- Yes. A detachable 1.25 m 3.5 mm cable is included, so you can listen wired even with the battery empty.
- Does it work with iPhone and Android?
- Yes. It pairs over Bluetooth 5.1 with iOS and Android devices, and the 3.5 mm cable works with anything that has a headphone jack.
- Does the Beoplay HX support aptX or LDAC?
- No. Bang & Olufsen lists Bluetooth 5.1 without aptX or LDAC, so it uses standard Bluetooth audio codecs such as AAC and SBC.
