Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6

Bang & Olufsen's BeoPlay H6 headphones

B&O believes the H6 headphones are optimised for life on the move, but, if you want to travel with these bad boys, you need to have the space to carry them – or you can wear them as a fashion statement around your neck, because they certainly look good enough.

There's no getting away from it – in a market facing a tsunami of superb new headphones, this over-ear model from those sometimes not-so-great Danes at Bang & Olufsen is just magnificent. I was really annoyed when my loan pair had to be returned.

Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 Headphones

We all know what Bang & Olufsen is about. Luxury headphones that deliver amazing sound with a price tag to match. The BeoPlay H6 is no different. For audiophiles it ticks all the necessary boxes, but there is something missing.

B&O Beoplay H6 (2nd generation)

If you're expecting the H6 to sound like the aforementioned Sennheiser combo or a Hifiman Edition X, you'd be mistaken. But the H6 is a fraction of the cost. I have honestly fallen in love with the H6 so much that I have ended my search for a highend headphone.

B&O BeoPlay H6 review

The B&O BeoPlay H6 is one of the best-looking pairs of headphones we've seen, and thankfully they sound as good as they look. Whether or not they're worth the colossal price tag or not is up to you, for some design is as important as performance and so for these people it will be an easy sell.

If recent products are any indication, something happens to headphones when they cross the $350 price barrier -they get covered in leather . The Sennheiser Momentum , Bowers & Wilkins P7 , and now the $399.99 (direct) Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 all feature eye-catching leather designs.

Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 Review

A stark contrast to the recent wave of big-bass options, the Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 is a luxury headphone pair for the lover of flat, crisp response. If recent products are any indication, something happens to headphones when they cross the $350 price barrier—they get covered in leather. The Sennheiser Momentum, Bowers & Wilkins P7, and now the $399.99 (direct) Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 all feature eye-catching leather designs. The audio performance of all three is also top notch, though the H6 offers a far more flat response that might appeal to audiophiles more than the others. DesignB&O keeps the design flourishes to a minimum with the H6, which at first glance doesn't scream luxury like the B&W P7 does. The circumaural (over-the-ear) design uses leather nearly as plentifully, but the real flourishes are hidden from view when the H6 is being worn. The interior grille of each earcup is a neon yellow-green and boldly states L or R so you know which earcup is which. I happen to love this move, since it's much easier than squinting to find tiny letters on headphones to figure out which is the right way to wear it. The overall f...
