These earphones are superb! Fantastic sound quality and really beautiful made, as you would expect from B&O. Sound quality is excellent, and the fit is brilliant – they are super comfortable to wear. They are also very secure when in your ears, and I can do skipping, press-ups and even handstands and they remain securely in place. Honestly if these earphones had cost me 250 quid I wouldn’t have been disappointed – at 70 quid they are an absolute bargain!Note: I am not sure why the opinion in ClickElectronics reviews seems so polarized, but it seems mostly due to the fit of the earphones. However I think there is some confusion here. These are not in-ear earbuds, but rather the each “bud” of either earphones sit comfortably over the ear hole, which gives a very comfortable fit with great sound. You are NOT supposed to try to force them actually inside your ear hole! Also, the earphones mount from the front of your ear as per the instruction booklet – I really believe some people are trying to mount them over the back of their ear, which would be impossible! Fitting them correctly takes about 20 seconds max.

I bought these despite having seen the mainly negative reviews as I’m a big fan of B&O products and their ‘flaws’ actually seemed to be perfect for my needs; I wanted wireless headphones, I could wear while skateboarding and they wouldn’t fall off, which also allowed me to hear some background noise.The form and comfort, while not the greatest, certainly ensured that they were secure once worn. I wouldn’t want to wear these for prolonged periods but for short periods they were adequate. The complaints about the cable being too short are fair. I don’t believe it’s too short however, it’s a quality product and cable is heavy duty. Being thick makes it somewhat unwieldy so I found it easier to wear it at the front rather than behind my neck.My big issue is the battery. Perhaps it’s the set I got however, as this comes up as a frequent complaint I don’t think I’m unique. I noticed the set I received would never charge to 100% (only ever 90%) even after being run down and charged to calibrate (I have multiple other B&O headphones that do charge to 100%). If I charged them up and left them on my desk overnight the charge would drop, despite being off, to 70-80% Running the headphones the charge dropped around 20% every 15-20 minutes. An average charge would last 1.5-2 hours, a far cry from the 5 hours advertised. I accept that signal strength and volume impact bluetooth battery however, I received this performance when using the headphones at my desk, at low volume, and me standing less than a meter away from my laptop. I imaging it outdoor conditions this would be significantly worse.While I doubted I would get 5 hours, 2 hours at most while being used in ideal circumstances, simply isn’t acceptable especially given that the battery isn’t obviously replaceable.I really wanted to like these headphones and £75 for a product of B&O quality seemed great value however, utterly abysmal battery life means these simply aren’t fit for purpose. There are so many wireless headphones on the market these days, even heavily discounted, these simply aren’t good enough to justify owning.

Not suitable for exercise if you sweat

I’ll go straight to the point. The Bang & Olufsen Earset Wireless Earphones have terrible battery life, lasting only 3-4 hours of listening time (depending on your usage), sometimes 2-3 hours only. Charging time is ridiculous long. Also, it never fully charges, reaching a maximum of 89% when fully charged. The sound is good. The sound is balanced, high frequencies aren’t overexposed, the mids is well represented and the lows don’t overpower or distort the sound. They produce a good, full, well balanced, clean and clear sound, it’s a shame they have very bad battery life. With the Bang & Olufsen smartphone app you can manually equalise the sound or use pre-set equalisations. The sound the equaliser allows is good but I wish I could go a little higher on the high frequencies. These are over the ear, not in ear earphones. Therefore, when you wear them you can hear well your surroundings, they are not suitable for those wanting noise cancellation earphones. These earphones are made of very high quality materials, including metal, they are light but very sturdy. To me they look elegant, a premium product, as good as or better as Airpods, Sennheiser and others, but that’s to be expected from Bang & Olufsen products. Sure you can buy higher fidelity headphones from the likes of Sennheiser, but they cost a” small fortune”. The Bang & Olufsen Earset earphones are comfortable to wear, although people with smaller ears might find them not suitable at all, as they won’t be able to secure them in their ears, this happened to half a dozen people I know. My verdict is the bad battery life ruins these very high quality earphones, therefore, even with the discounted price, I do not recommend them.
