- B&O Beo Grace Launch in November 2025 for £ 1,000 / $ 1,500
- ANC that is four times better than any previous B&O earrings
- Industry-leading battery technology promises four times longer life
Bang & Olufsen has revealed what it says is the best-sounding, most intelligent earplugs it has ever made and if you can afford them, you can expect very luxurious listening.
Partly based on the sound design of the flagship BeoPlay H100 headphones, the new Beo Grace “promises” unmatched “sound and good look too. Each earbud is made of polished aluminum and comes in a pearl -based charging case.
First, let’s get the price out of the way: To £ 1,000 / $ 1,500 (approx. AU $ 2,040) these B&O ears will be beyond many people’s budgets, including mine. But if you have cash, it sounds like you’re on something special.
B&O BEO GRACE EARBUDS: Key features
Inspired by jewelry, Beo Grace has distinctive aluminum stems, and the earbuds themselves make it comfortable as well as sweet: The ear tips are slightly sculpted for improved fit and sealing.
Beo Grace ear plugs are built around a 12mm titanium driver behind precision-milled aluminum grid and delivers Dolby Atmos optimized spatial sound. Beo Grace can create virtual spatial sound from any stere rope, says B&O.
B&O also says that the adaptive active noise cancellation here is four times more effective than the ANC in any previous B&O ear plugs, “Everything without Susp and Unnatural pressure in the ear”.
B & O’s EarSense Tech provides real-time surveillance of surrounding noise that adapts the sound and ANC profile according to what’s going on around you and the unique shape of your ear. There is also wind noise reduction and a three-mic matrix in each earplug for clear voice calls.
One of the most interesting features of Beo Grace is the battery: In collaboration with the battery technology company Breathe, B&O has designed a power management system that allows the battery life to surpass 2,000 charges compared to the usual 500 cycles.
This figure is from B & O’s own internal test, but it would definitely go some way towards justifying the price: quite often, the reason people feel the need to upgrade their headphones is because the batteries stop keeping their charging, so if these can go four times longer before it happens, you don’t have to buy replacements.
Although overall battery life may be excellent, the actual battery life per Charging much weaker: Play time is a relatively short 4.5 hours with ANC, which increases to 17 hours in total including the charging case. It is much shorter than the vast majority of the best earplugs – for reference, the new AirPods Pro 3 promise eight hours per day. Fee with ANC on. Still at least five minutes of fast charging promises to deliver up to 2.5 hours of playback.
Beo Grace ear plugs will be available from November 2025.
