Our take

Verdict: A luxury heirloom headphone — stunning to wear and hear, priced well beyond what features alone justify.

The problem. You want a headphone that doubles as a design object without sounding like a compromise. Why it matters. B&O sells craftsmanship; you’re paying for materials and longevity, not the spec sheet. What it is. B&O’s flagship: machined aluminium, lambskin pads, very long battery life, good ANC and a smooth, refined sound with app-based tuning.

Pros

Exceptional build — aluminium and leather that should age well
Warm, refined, enjoyable sound
Long battery life and physical control dials that feel great

Cons

ANC and software lag behind Sony and Bose
Eye-watering price for the performance
Heavy, and overkill for casual listening

Who should buy it

Buyers who treat headphones as a long-term luxury purchase and value design and materials most

Who should skip it

Anyone judging by ANC, features or value — cheaper rivals outperform on all three

Bottom line. Buy it for the craftsmanship and the joy of ownership, not because it wins on specs.
