Verdict

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H100 is a flagship over-ear wireless headphone featuring custom 40mm titanium drivers and a sophisticated 10-microphone system for adaptive active noise cancellation and spatial audio with Dolby Atmos head-tracking. Built with premium materials like lambskin leather, aluminum, and scratch-resistant tempered glass, it offers a sustainable modular design with user-replaceable ear pads, headbands, and batteries, while delivering a warm-neutral sound signature with a frequency response of up to 40kHz via wired USB-C. Main pros include its exceptional build quality, industry-leading repairability, and intuitive physical dial controls for volume and transparency; however, significant cons include its extremely high price point, the current lack of high-res wireless codecs (with LDAC promised for later), and a slightly heavy 375g weight that may cause discomfort during very long sessions.
