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

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...

If you're looking for top notch audio gear, Bang & Olufsen is one of the first brands that come to mind. Their products are pure luxury. With many of their home audio products clocking in upwards of $10,000, B&O products aren't always something that's accessible to the average consumer.

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

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

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

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

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.
