Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX Reviews

Build Quality is amazing, sound quality is virtually the same as Bose QC 2

By Chris
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2025-12-27

I have owned 2 pairs of the Bose QC 2 for work and travel. After a few years each pair has similar issues, the ear cups are worn out (replacements are not the same as new), the headband is extremely worn and cannot be replaced. My current pair of Bose is a bit of a Frankenstein using the ear pads from my previous pair of QC 2's as the replacement pads from Bose were terrible. If Bose made the proper replacement parts for QC 2 they would last for a long time and to me the patina from use on the plastic parts would be ok and sort of cool. My hope was to purchase a replacement that would last longer, thus i purchased the B&O HX which are made beautifully. Upon arrival I tested them against the Bose for sound quality and surprisingly they sound about the same as the Bose QC 2. Friends and family (musicians and professional filmmakers) who participated in my test all came to the same conclusion, "i cant really tell the difference in sound quality, they both sound pretty good." Everyone agrees the B&O are better made, but not worth the steep price increase for similar and not stellar sound quality. I am returning the B&O and purchasing Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3. They are far less expensive than the B&O with similar build quality (parts are replaceable), and not much more expensive than the Bose. Every review i read states they have far better sound quality than both of the aforementioned headphones. I will update this review upon their arrival. To test these I used 2 iPhone 16 Pros, one dedicated to Bose the other dedicated B&O. The Spotify settings were set lossless and EQ set to flat over a very robust wifi network. We tried multiple tracks from different artist always starting playback on each phone simultaneously so we could swop headphones listening the to same music. Music choices were Pink Floyde - Another Brick In The Wall Part 2 & Wish You Were Here, Paul Simon - Graceland, U2 - Mysterious Ways, Peter Gabriel - Games Without Frontiers & Solsbury Hill, Iron Maiden - The Trooper & Run To The Hills.
