[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Eun-mo] Bang & Olufsen announced on the 2nd that it will launch its first noise-canceling wireless earphones, the Beoplay EQ. The new product features Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to provide immersive sound, and improves call quality and wireless connectivity to enhance user convenience.
The Beoplay EQ was designed by renowned Danish industrial designer Thomas Venzin. The case is more compact than its predecessor for easy portability and uses aerospace-grade anodized aluminum material to enhance luxury and durability. The earbuds feature an ergonomic design for excellent comfort and noise isolation, and the Bang & Olufsen logo is engraved on the gradient-treated aluminum to emphasize a sophisticated image. The colors are Black Anthracite and Sand Gold Tone.
Each earbud is equipped with a 6.8mm driver to deliver clear sound quality, and four hybrid ANC dedicated microphones effectively eliminate unnecessary external noise to create an excellent listening environment. For clean and clear call quality, six MEMS high-sensitivity microphones with beamforming technology are installed. It also supports IP54 dust and water resistance.
The Beoplay EQ can play continuously for up to 6.5 hours with noise canceling activated, and up to 20 hours when charged through the battery-equipped case. Charging uses a USB-C port and also supports wireless charging. Bluetooth version 5.2 is used, and to enable faster and more stable pairing, Microsoft’s Swift Pair and MFi (Made for iPhone) are supported. Additionally, AAC, SBC, and Qualcomm aptX Adaptive codecs are supported to provide excellent sound quality.
All functions such as music playback, track changes, and calls can be easily controlled through the earbuds’ touch interface, and the Bang & Olufsen app allows detailed customization of the equalizer and ANC according to personal preferences.
The Beoplay EQ is available at the Bang & Olufsen flagship store in Apgujeong as well as official online and offline stores.
