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.

I love B&O products and have had multiple headphones / ear phones over the years. I really like the earphones with ear hook – had four sets over the years. These earsets were comfortable and sound qulaity very good. But, if you want these to exercise – I run and spin daily – then they are only suitable if you don’t sweat. I have two pairs now and both stopped working – the first pair in 9 months and the second pair in less than 6 months. The seller was great and replaced first set quickly without question. When second set stopped working they have been consigned to rubbish bin and I have found another brand.Summary – very good if you want to use for commutes and non physical activities – rubbish if you want a good sweat.

I really like these earphones. They fit onto the ear, rather than inside as earbuds do. They do take bit of getting used to, with a bit of judicious jiggling to get them in the right place, but once you’ve found the spot they feel comfortable and sound great. They have a pretty unusual modern / arty / industrial look to them which you’ll either love or hate – I love them. And at a knock down price to boot!

Before I bought these headphones on ClickElectronics for £59 I took the trouble to read the tech press reviews. The first thing that emerged from that exercise was how gouging the pricing can be for a product such as this. Initially they were on the market for a nearly unbelievable £250. Then about £150. Both ludicrous. I have some in ear wireless headphones from ClickElectronics which cost under £10 and work very well. If you are just going to listen to speech then probably as much as you need to fork out.At £59 these are on the upper margin of what you might want or need to pay so what, if anything, makes them worthwhile? Other than the B&O branding.First+, and probably the most important, but very personal, aspect is that they sit in the boundary of the ear and not shoved down the ear canal. That makes them comfortable for a lot longer as far as I am concerned. Maybe not you.Second+, the loops not only look stylish but are also really functional. These things neither fall out and off nor feel that they are tugging on you. That “damn it” moment, “slipped out again” does not happen.Third+, I really like the sound. Also, I really like NOT being cut off from the world around me. No more “wait a moment while I unplug myself” if someone speaks to you. The app, once you can get it to work, does not seem to me to make a lot of difference when sound stages are changed. At least on classical music.Fourth+, I would defy anyone to suggest that these things are not classy. From the packaging through to the look of them.Fifth+, charging is by USB-C. But see below.However, they are not perfect. Now for the – signs after the numbers.First-, the three button controller is no piece of ergonomic brilliance. The buttons are too small. They are not tactile. There is little if any feedback. Mind you, they felt even worse at first. Until I realised that there was a near invisible piece of plastic protection over the whole assembly. Which was hard to get. I suspect some who have written even more critically about the controls might have failed to notice that.Second-, the battery is, no other word for it, lousy. It takes a very, very long time to charge up. Then it does not last very long. I have not made measurements, but you really do not need to in order to be aware that this is an achilleas heel. It defeats me why, with the size of the units, B&O did not do better in this important aspect.Third-, as the supplied soft pouch signals, these take up a deal of pocket space.Fourth-, the cloth “condoms” that go over the ear pieces are a fiddle to get on.On balance, and at the sensible price charged for the white ones (the brown ones are massively more) these are a satisfying but imperfect impulse buy. Go for it if the design grabs you more than VFM.
