H100 vs H95: B&O Beoplay H100 Review

[@dex-pix]

Volume issue seems fixed with the latest software update

[@VitiateTheImmortal]

I do love my H95 already. Maybe gonna upgrade in a while for sure but not quite ready to let go yet lol

[@iliasanastasiadis7658]

And it gets only better. We are waiting now for the LDAC update on December or early January 2025.

[@mustafajoseph134]

Is that a fact? Waiting to hit purchase button. Lol

[@iliasanastasiadis7658]

@mustafajoseph134 Yes. The LDAC is coming soon. The latest update 1.1.3 made the headphones sound really good! It must be the best blue tooth headphones out there. People compare it only with the T&A Solotaire and Dali io-12. So it's in the top of the food chain. 😎

@iliasanastasiadis7658 got'em

[@iliasanastasiadis7658]

@mustafajoseph134 Enjoy them, brother. As I write this message, I listen to them. 🎧

[@nikolajf]

Excellent review. Love mine as well.

[@attilab.2818]

Any headband creaking?

[@nikolajf]

@ yes. had first pair replaced. second pair developed same headband creaking, but I am trying to live with it…

[@Natan9000]

You usually listen on volume 100? Tha fuq? 💥

[@alateralus88]

Same, I have to listen to it near 100- the 95s

[@JoeGillian0]

​@@alateralus88Hi, train yourself to listen to lower volumes.... I must be listening max to 30%...might be source dépendant though

[@JoeGillian0]

I would not trust a sound review from someone who listens to volume max either ... Probably at unsafe a d unconfortable levels. Did he also said he usés them for exercice....i hope he s joking...he does everything wrong

[@stupidgir87]

I use the app Speaker boost when I listning on my H95. I feel it need 20% higher sound volum from my Samsung Galaxy. Love my headset doh !!!

[@attilab.2818]

Seems like a few people reported squeaking/creaking headband when wearing these headphones and move their heads. Have you also experienced this with your pair?

[@dex-pix]

Nope

[@Derrik7]

You mentioned the Beoplay H100 is more comfortable than H95. The H95 ear cups were too snug for me. Are H100 ear cups bigger?

[@dex-pix]

They feel bigger, yes, but I’m unsure if they’re physically bigger or if the holes are just larger.

[@nimmerzaman]

How is the Dolby atmos function of these headphones for movies? Has anyone been able to compare directly with AirPods Max or the Sonos ace etc?

[@dex-pix]

Airpods Max has strong mids but B&O is strong full-spectrum

[@nimmerzaman]

@@dex-pix Thank you for the reply. a basic question thou, how does one connect them to their tv or soundbar, both of which have dolby atmos built in? bluetooth? or does it only work with devices like apple tv or ipads etc?

[@dex-pix]

Not sure because I connect to my laptop and phone. I imagine Bluetooth. You also get an audio-jack cord.

[@jpahlstrom]

​@@nimmerzamanIf you have a Nvidia Shield for approx $100 you have the better experience as well as easily connect headphones like H95.

[@nimmerzaman]

@ have you tried it with the H100 and does the atmos function work? And how come the latest 2024 model tv and soundbars can’t connect over Bluetooth to the H100 and process Dolby Atmos for movies?

[@JoeGillian0]

Beware :Most scariest reviewer of H100 i heard. He listens to max volume and also uses them for exercise.... A recipe for disaster

[@dex-pix]

😱scary stuff

[@JoeGillian0]

@@dex-pix ah ah :)

[@KarolyKrausz]

For 900 Euro gross we can for sure start talking. 1.500 Euro? Ha-ha-ha-ha that's a good joke! Thank you but no thank you.

[@bybigpablo]

You’re welcome. Bun no jokes here. Buy or bye

[@marcinwolszczak667]

That's why a luxury product is not for everyone. Luxury goods are bought by people who can afford it.

[@KarolyKrausz]

@@marcinwolszczak667 or for people who can negotiate. I've negotiated an extremely good price with a local HiFi chain in Frankfurt am Main/Germany. Can confirm that the headphone is absolutely fantastic, especially the noise suppression of the microphone.

[@energiam880]

These are fashion items, not serious headphones I'd recommend a Focal Batys over these for half the price Focal is a serious headphone and audio company, B&O isn't. They take mediocre components, garnish them with some fake B&D pixie dust, and hope their gullible customers are dumb enough to fall for it

[@dex-pix]

Serious headphones that look like a kid’s plastic toy (but do sound great)

[@shininngg]

I own both and the B&O Beoplay H100 is far superior to the Bathys in every single aspect, especially for the sound quality.

[@nisalwickramasinghe2878]

Are you crazy B&O reputation was built on audio quality, i do admit there quality has deterriorated a bit in recent times but they are not a fashion brand by any standard

[@TheTimoshkina]

@@shininnggabsolutely agree

[@energiam880]

@@shininngg H100 has an atrocious treble. It's compressed, sounds fuzzy, hazy, and is very low resolution. Everything you'd associate with a poor-quality headphone in the $100-200 range. You should see the measurements. It's a rollercoaster ride above 2k hz Imagine having the audacity to charge $1500 for it...
