To celebrate 95 years of innovation in sound, design and craftmanship, Bang & Olufsen set out to create the finest wireless headphones the Danish audio specialist has ever built. Today, the company announced the new Beoplay H95: the highest quality in sound, long lasting comfort, truly effective noise cancellation, a beautiful chassis, the highest quality materials and the most satisfying user experience in a Bang & Olufsen wireless headphone to date.“Beoplay H95 is a distillation of the best elements of Bang & Olufsen sound, design and craftmanship – an
enhancement within the headphone category that elevates our 95 years heritage of high standards”, says Bang & Olufsen SVP of Product Management Christoffer Poulsen.
Superior fit for long-term wear
Comfort and fit are essential to truly enjoy sound quality. Beoplay H95 comes with an oval, over-ear design with soft lambskin ear cushions that provide a luxurious and superior fit for long-term wear, while an innovative and intuitive user interface is provided through a combination of touch control and mechanical dials.
Through research and experimentation, the Bang & Olufsen engineers created an earpad design that fits nicely around the ears and is no bigger than necessary. This shape, formed in soft memory foam, also creates good contact to the skin, which isimportant to block the noise from outside. The head-band design has been completely revamped for a cleaner look, with top-grain cowhide, custom-knitted textile, and softly padded with memory foam for comfort.
A brushed aluminium framework contrasts with the texture of the leather headband giving a minimalist and refined appearance. Magnetically detachable lambskin ear cushions feel as good as they look, and the adaptive memory foam inner padding, combined with rotating and tilting earpieces that ensure perfect fit, provide the ultimate in
comfortable listening and passive sound cancellation.
“Beoplay H95 is the product of our philosophy that purposeful design is beautiful design— aesthetics and performance working together”, says Bang & Olufsen VP of Design Gavin Ivester and continues: “We express
purposeful design with essential forms, driven by function, pristinely executed. That attention to detail and outstanding performance are the core of our design language, Expressive Minimalism, and give the Beoplay H95 its calm, confident personality.”
Optimized in Bang & Olufsen’s Virtual Acoustic Laboratory
Beoplay H95 is designed around a set of customized 40mm titanium drivers with neodymium magnets mounted in ported enclosures, while the sound design isimplemented using filtersin a proprietary digitalsignal processing (DSP) engine developed by Bang & Olufsen. The headphones build on its impressive passive noise reduction with the most
advanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) of any Bang & Olufsen headphone, which is both adjustable and adaptive.The ANC performance is entirely based on digital processing and uses both a feed-forward and feedback microphoneto reduce noise as much as possible. The tuning and testing of the ANC processing was done underreal life conditionsas well as Bang & Olufsen’s Virtual Acoustic Laboratory (VR Lab) in Struer, where the engineers are able to emulatea variety of different noise conditions ranging from airplanes, train stations, office spaces and street noise.
Precision dials for volume, ANC and transparency
Bang & Olufsen has pioneered touch interfaces on aluminium surfaces. Today, the Danish audio company is takingthis a step further by adding a precise aluminium dial to each side of Beoplay H95. Inspired by the focus rings on thelenses of high-end cameras, the dials move with precision and just the right amount of smooth resistance. Each dialhas a fine, linear texture that confirms contact. It is a high-touch element that feels natural to use, and it makessound preferences quickly accessible. The dial on the right controls volume, while the dial on the left adjusts ANC
and transparency.In today’s world, restorative silence can be vital part of mental space and peace of mind. The new Beoplay H95
headphones build on its impressive passive noise reduction with the most advanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)of any Bang & Olufsen headphones, which is both adjustable and adaptive. The ANC performance is entirely basedon digital processing and uses both a feed-forward and feedback microphone to reduce noise as much as possible.
“Home, work and transit can all be dynamic environments that demand a response, whether it is to adapt to a newnoise level or change your focus for a minute to respond to someone. The dials make it quick and easy to do whatyou need and keep the moment flowing. They feel like precision equipment, because they are”, says Gavin Ivester.
