Bang & Olufsen’s new earbuds will cost you more than the latest iPhone

The latest Beo Grace headphones from Bang & Olufsen offer a flashy aluminum design and the brand’s active “most advanced” cancellation for an amazing noise of $ 1,500. These new expensive buds pump sound through 12 mm titanium pilots, with old supplied by six microphones that adjust the audio according to the ambient noise and the shape of your ear.

Beo Grace headphones support the Dolby Atmos space audio and the mode of transparency inside the equally expensive Beoplay H100 headphones, which aim to recreate the sound of your “whistling or distortion” environment. Other features include touch controls and “Neartap” technology that allows you to control the volume by typing in front of your ear.

The new buds offer 4.5 hours of battery life with activated ANC-that is to say less than the six hours promised by the $ 499 Beoplay Eleven Earbuds Bang & Olufsen released last year. But Bang & Olufsen said that he had associated himself with the Battery Intelligence Company Breathe to improve the longevity of the Beo Grace battery, and says that the buds exceeded 2,000 charging cycles in internal tests.

The Beo Grace headphones are delivered with an assorted aluminum load case that you can transform into a audio transmitter by plugging it into a device with USB-C or Line-in, which allows it to broadcast the audio from your laptop, an airplane television or another device that may not support Bluetooth to your headphones. There is also a leather pocket in which you can store the case, but it will cost you an additional $ 400.

Beo Grace headphones are now available for pre -order and will start to ship on November 17.
