"Bang & Olufsen's latest Beo Grace earbuds offer a flashy aluminum design and the brand's "most advanced" active noise cancellation for a staggering $1,500. These pricey new buds pump sound through 12mm titanium drivers, featuring ANC powered by six microphones that adjust audio based on ambient noise and the shape of your ear. The Beo Grace earbuds support Dolby Atmos spatial audio and the transparency mode inside the equally expensive Beoplay H100 headphones, which aim to recreate the sound of your environment "free from hiss or distortion.""
"Other features include tactile controls and "NearTap" technology that allows you to control volume by tapping in front of your ear. The new buds offer 4.5 hours of battery life with ANC turned on - that's less than the six hours promised by the $499 Beoplay Eleven earbuds Bang & Olufsen released last year. But Bang & Olufsen says it partnered with the battery intelligence company Breathe to improve the longevity of the Beo Grace's battery, and says the buds surpassed 2,000 charge cycles in internal testing."
Beo Grace earbuds combine a flashy aluminum build with 12mm titanium drivers and what the brand calls its most advanced active noise cancellation driven by six microphones that adapt to ambient noise and ear shape. The earbuds support Dolby Atmos spatial audio and include a transparency mode modeled after the Beoplay H100 headphones. Control options include tactile inputs and NearTap volume control by tapping near the ear. Battery life is 4.5 hours with ANC on, while internal testing with partner Breathe reportedly exceeded 2,000 charge cycles. An aluminum charging case can act as a USB-C or line-in audio transmitter. A leather pouch is available for an additional $400. Preorders are open and shipping begins November 17th.
