Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EQ
True Wireless EarbudsProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EQ are the flagship true wireless headphones in B&O's current lineup. They uniquely feature adaptive active noise cancellation and carry more refined details compared to other Beoplay true wireless options.
The Beoplay EQ are driven by 6.8mm dynamic drivers, one in each earbud. These larger drivers (compared to the E8) consumer more power, as does ANC. B&O has endowed each earbud with a larger, 85mAh battery to address this, achieving 7.5 hours of playback without ANC.
The charging case of the Beoplay EQ has a slim profile. The price for this is smaller battery capacity. Still, B&O has managed to keep wireless charging capability (Qi), and the charging case can quick-charge the earphones.
Other plus points of the Beoplay EQ include Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and six built-in microphones (for ANC + talk).

Reviewer score 75% (normalized by Neofiliac)Bowers & Wilkins PI7 sound just as good (and I slightly prefer their audio profile overall), though the noise cancellation and battery are weaker. The active noise cancellation is pretty good in most casts – this is one area where it beats the competition at the same price. They have some foibles in their fit and controls, but nothing that's a dealbreaker, and the audio quality is like a velvet blanket to wrap yourself up in.
Pros
- Excellent active noise cancellation
- Great battery life
- Great app options
Cons
- Noise cancellation isn’t as good as some

Reviewer score 79% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Beoplay EQ did a wonderful job rendering a lush, intimate presentation. With transparency mode active, human voices were oh-so slightly recessed. If you buy this headphone, learn how to twist and lock the buds into your ears. It might not be the absolute best in every category, but it renders it worthy of consideration.
Pros
- Gorgeous, rich, and detailed sound
- Comfortable fit
- Excellent battery life
Cons
- Bass performance falls short of Apple’s AirPods Pro
