Bang & Olufsen's H9 headphones look and sound great, but they're certainly no value proposition.

Deep; rich bass; Gorgeous design; Robust; luxurious build quality; Removable battery

Shorter battery life than competitors; Annoying touch controls; Priciest in their class by a long shot

Enjoyable, fun sound; Comfortable; Elegant design; Highgrade materials

Wireless sound quality still not up to my standards; Controls rarely work right

Really good quality, noise cancelling is brilliant as I frequently use them on aircraft loud aircraft not commercial. Battery life is great too.

Love them or hate them, Beats headphones have normalized purchasing headphones that cost way too much. But with their ubiquity, there are some audio lovers out there who want to stand out from the crowd and aren't afraid of paying a bit more to do so – and luxury brands, like Bowers & Wilkins,...

Stellar battery life; Luxurious materials; Effective noise cancellation

Overpowering bass; No multipoint pairing; Poor value

Before I dive into the comparative portion of this review, I want to first discuss what owning the Beoplay H9s is like, just by itself. Most people aren't switching between a dozen different sets of headphones, they want just one that works well, and I think these new Beoplay cans excel in that...

Comfy to wear and lovely to look at; Good noise canceling; Replaceable battery

Sound is too soft and mellowed out; Touch controls are a nightmare; Better choices at lower prices

Recently we wrote about a Sennheiser headphone that costs way more than a top-end luxury car or even a decent sized house in a metro. That is audio luxury of the kind even music maestros will stay clear of, but those who look at music as their life's calling, or hearing, wouldn't mind spending a bit...

It would be too easy to criticise the B&O BeoPlay H9 for the high price and the noise-cancellation being too subtle for some. But that would be shortsighted: because the H9 is a killer over-ear headphone. Indeed, these over-ear cans are better than almost anything we've listened to in 2017.

Very comfortable to wear for long periods; Great sound that's rich across all frequencies; Wide soundstage due to large earcups; Subtle noise-cancellation is great

Battery doesn't last for an age; Bluetooth doesn't disengage when idle; Expensive; Bluetooth too quiet from smartphones (an EU regulation limit; Wind tear is an issue

Not very impressive quality for the price. Not worth it

I bought these by default. My mini-iPad headphone jack broke so I decided to get a Bluetooth set. I originally tried to order a cheaper pair but they had sold out. I knew the name, B & O, and that they were very dear, but I wanted to hear my music yesterday so I splurged.

Great sound and materials.

Quality sound -Comfortable -Nice controls

-Expensive
