Building on the success of Beoplay H95, Bang & Olufsen’s most successful headphones to date, Beoplay H100 is improved in almost every discipline: unrivalled high-quality sound, outstanding digital noise cancellation, a new modular construction and a beautiful design, it was explained.
The new Beoplay H100 is available in Qatar through Bang & Olufsen's store at Lagoona Mall and Fnac stores at Lagoona Mall, Doha Festival City and Place Vendôme.
“Beoplay H100 elevates what we have accomplished over the past ten decades and defines our future: an era where beautiful sound is built to last,” says Bang & Olufsen CEO Kristian Teär.
“Drawing inspiration from the unparalleled performance of our Beolab speakers, our iconic designs from the past and the modular construction that embraces material excellence and circularity, Beoplay H100 truly embodies our design and innovation capabilities.”
Beoplay H100 features a silky smooth, scratch-resistant and hardened glass touch interface on the side of the headphones. Together with precision haptic dials and tactile buttons, all essential controls are easily accessible. The new detachable inner headband, finely wrapped in knitted textile, has been ergonomically designed to provide all day breathability and comfort.
Beoplay H100 comes in three colourways: Infinite Black, Hourglass Sand and Sunset Apricot. “Designing an immersive sound experience with ultimate comfort has been key in the development process when creating Beoplay H100,” says Bang & Olufsen head of design, Tiina Kierysch. “
The lightweight and luxurious leather case provides easy and stylish portability while travelling. When Beoplay H100 is outside the pouch and not being worn, it enters a low-power mode, extending standby time up to 90 days while remaining ready to activate when worn. If stored in the pouch, the headphones power fully off, enabling more than a year of standby time.
With 40mm custom-made titanium drivers housed behind elegant aluminium grills, Beoplay H100 delivers Hi-Res sound, tuned by renowned Bang & Olufsen tonmeisters. Elevating the sound experience, the team leveraged their expertise and principles to create a headphone inspired by the Danish audio brand’s statement loudspeaker Beolab 90.
“Beoplay H100 is the best pair of headphones we have ever created,” says Bang & Olufsen director of technology Neo Kaplanis.
Beoplay H100 delivers Hi-Res sound up to 96 kHz / 24 bits. The introduction of Bang & Olufsen’s new adaptive audio processing EarSense™ delivers a personal listening experience by tailoring the sound to the wearer’s unique fit in real time.
Optimised for Dolby Atmos, state-of-the-art spatial audio processing and headtracking, Beoplay H100 delivers a more natural listening experience. Beoplay H100 features 10 carefully configured studio-grade microphones, delivering Bang & Olufsen’s most advanced noise cancellation and transparency mode yet.
Beoplay H100 automatically detects when they are being worn. Move from music to the outside world in a twist by using the carefully crafted haptic dial. Lift an earcup or cover with a palm on either earcup to switch from fully closed and immersed to open mode.
The controls can be customised by using the Bang & Olufsen app. Get up to five hours of playtime with five minutes of charging. When fully charged, Beoplay H100 will deliver up to 34 hours of playtime.
"For Beoplay H100, we've prioritised longevity, maintenance and repairability through modular design. We have also developed our software with the future in mind,” says Bang & Olufsen’s director of product circularity and portfolio planning, Mads Kogsgaard Hansen.
The inner headband and earpad cushions have been designed for easy detachability, so users can exchange these parts by themselves. A significantly revamped headphone design means quick access for Bang & Olufsen’s service team to replace key components such as the batteries, glass surfaces, drivers and circuit boards for easy repair and extension of lifetime.
Inspired by the company’s Mozart software platform, the software on Beoplay H100 is upgradable. Bang & Olufsen will be bringing new capabilities to Beoplay H100, notably wireless hi-res audio and 3-Device Multipoint.
Beoplay H100 comes with an extended five-year warranty when joining Beocare – Bang & Olufsen’s extended warranty programme, the statement added
