Bang & Olufsen Beoplay B&O H6 Headphone - REVIEW

2016-03-26
hey everyone many of you request that I review some products from bang & olufsen you guys suggested it I finally ordered a pair for myself now what we have here today is the bno play h6 special edition coming in this beautiful almost copper finish the color choice is called graphite plush in these retail for $400 at the moment you can click on my link in the video description below for the most updated prices so without further adieu my channel is here to help you make a purchase decision welcome everyone to gems review room going over the physical features if you're a person with strong attention to detail the h6 provides so much to look at you'll definitely appreciate the craftsmanship the headband up top offers real cowhide leather with the cross-section viewable from the side moving down to the extendable metal arm vino passed on having a ratcheting system we see on majority of headphones but instead it's a very smooth very refined amount of resistance that's offered here for adjustability and they do stay locked in place very well here without accidental movements during wearing now down each ear cut besides our anodized aluminum offering a stunning reflection and light but when touched you'll feel a slight texture that's just different from most headphones after having these for several weeks now toss them into my bag without its carrying case as you can see still no signs of wear or scratches that last on each ear cup you have the option of using either the left or right ear cup to connect the supplied 3.5 millimeter cord directly to your sound source despite not having a true locking mechanism the connection is very snug and accidental poles were not an issue at all over just premium feeling all over now during my stress test here that I perform on all my headphones it is a bit extreme but the h6 is stays intact with nothing breaking the headband has been slightly more so than other headphones causing a less firm squeeze in the head but you can always bend them back to its original shape if they ever accidentally get pulled to this extreme now moving on to comfort these are the second lightest pair of headphones I have ever tested coming in at 230 grams while the lightest pair I've ever used are they both qc25 these are absolutely comfortable for long-term wearing minimal clamping force along the jawline and despite minimal and not so plush padding up top here the lightness of these headphones provided no discomfort and the crown of my head now wearing this for two hours straight never did my ear sweat here there is some minor sound leaking and these are not noise cancelling but it does provide a subtle amount of passive noise isolation when using these outdoors and in busy environments but other than that that's really it it's really clean there's no extra features there's no microphones for phone calls just simply and well made pair of headphones but let's move on to the sound test here and see how that goes starting with bass wow these are just right up my alley here it's clean tight and bass boosted to have music thumping just recently reviewing the parrot Zik 2.0 and threes the h6 provides more depth while I'm not droning the mid-range while not being distorted or you're fatiguing now the mid-range is pushed forward somewhat bright in my opinion with vocals in the front of your ears here just clear with hearing the finer details of a song and regarding the high notes here in my opinion it doesn't have roll off as a good handful of headphones uses that technique to prevent reaching levels of distortion but regarding the h6 the highs on here from cymbal crashes to snare drums and the likes the h6 for the most part does well with keeping things intact accurate and not pinging or ear ringing these are the type of headphones to wear when you want to become immersed into your music and not just good audio quality for casual listening I still have my open back Sennheiser HD 598 which are known for having a great open soundstage but having me side by side alone are a apples to apples comparison the soundstage and the pianos here was more pronounced and directional sound was a bit more identifiable surprisingly considering open-back headphones are in general known for their soundstage performance now if there was one area where I really truly had a critique and I don't think this is much of an issue I'd notice I had to have volume close to 90% to really enjoy these they're loud enough for most people but to truly appreciate these I noticed higher volume than other headphones was required but again that's if I had to give some criticism but overall these must be the best audio performance headphones that I've personally tested so far here at the studio if these had noise cancellation and retain its lightweight these would have been absolutely killer so that's it for this review I absolutely love these if you can't tell already I'm not paid by being known or has been oh and myself ever exchanged emails but seriously the overall package of having good looks a quality build and being how lightweight they are the audio performance as well these are simply amazing to me so if you can like and subscribe if you haven't done so already and be sure to add me on to Facebook Twitter and or Instagram and tell me this review sent you
