The Danish audio brand has unveiled the stylish new Beoplay Eleven , inspired by its sleek Beoplay H100 headphones that debuted in September. In terms of design, the next-gen wireless earbuds take cues from the fine-jewelry world with polished aluminum combined with glistening glass accents to create a gem-like finish. Aesthetics aside, audiophiles will be happy to know the new buds also stand on their own when it comes to performance, too.
Think improved sound quality thanks to what the company is touting as its most advanced active noise cancellation to date. The Beoplay Eleven is actually an offshoot of B&O’s Beoplay EX buds. However, the new design includes six updated microphones that double the amount of noise reduction, in addition to an improved transparency mode so you can literally tune out your surroundings with the tap of a finger—without removing your earphones.
The external microphones also underwent a revamp to provide clearer sound quality and better voice-calling capabilities with the introduction of a padded fine mesh that can filter out wind noise while you’re on the phone. Once fully charged, you’ll have up to eight hours of battery life. The Beoplay Eleven model comes in two colorways: a copper-y burnt orange or a natural toned aluminum that’s almost black.
Each also includes a coordinating pearl-blasted aluminium charging case, which is pretty sweet if you’re into a matching set. Not only do the buds look as good as they sound, but the ear tips are made from premium silicone molds to ensure they’re comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. “Beoplay EX revolutionized our wireless earphone category with its superior sound and cutting-edge design.
With the new Beoplay Eleven, Bang & Olufsen has elevated its ambitions once again,” Francesco Tonon, VP of product management, said in a press release. “The new Beoplay Eleven delivers even better sound quality thanks to transformative ANC and Transparency that embodies our innovation capabilities, and we cannot wait to bring them to our customers.” The new Beoplay Eleven will run you a cool £429 (or $499).
The natural aluminum variant is available now in Bang & Olufsen stores and on its website . If you can wait, the copper tone is set to drop on December 17..
