The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 Wireless are premium wireless over-ears equipped with active noise cancelling (ANC) technology. While they have a great build quality and are constructed with premium materials, they don't offer much else in terms of features to differentiate them from other premium headphones. Their 38 hours of advertised continuous battery life with ANC enabled makes them a solid option for anyone needing durable wireless headphones for on-the-go use, but they lack features like high-resolution codec support (like LDAC) and spatial audio; high-end features often seen in competitors in this price range.

Our Verdict

7.0 Neutral Sound

The Bang & Olufsen H95 are decent for neutral sound. While they have a balanced mid-range response that reproduces vocals with detail and clarity, they have an overemphasized bass response that adds a lot of boom and rumble to your mixes. This will please hip-hop and electronic music fans but can easily overwhelm other frequency ranges in different genres. The inconsistent treble response also causes sibilants to sound shrill and overly bright at times. That said, they're comfortable enough to wear for extended periods, and their soundstage is better than most closed-back headphones. You can also adjust the sound profile using the intuitive Beosonic EQ circle to find a sound that's right for you.

Pros
  • Comfortable fit.
Cons
  • Poor passive soundstage.
7.8 Commute/Travel

The Bang & Olufsen H95 are good headphones for travel and commuting. They last over 42 hours on a single charge, which is amazing for long journeys. They're also constructed with premium materials that contribute to a great overall build quality and a comfortable fit. They're not the most portable headphones, but their sleek carrying case makes it easier to bring them on the road without worrying about bumps and scrapes. Their ANC is amazing at blocking out mid- and treble-range noises but does a less impressive (though still good) job of isolating you from low-frequency sounds like engine rumble.

Pros
  • Comfortable fit.
  • Support multi-device pairing.
  • Excellent continuous battery life.
Cons
  • Bulky, unstable design.
7.3 Sports/Fitness

The Bang & Olufsen H95 are decent for sports and fitness use, although they're not really designed for this purpose. They're comfortable, well-built, and have intuitive controls. Plus, they have an IP53 rating against dust and water splashes, which is rare to find in over-ear headphones. Their design is quite bulky, meaning they're not very portable and can easily slip off your head during most intense bouts of activity.

Pros
  • Comfortable fit.
Cons
  • Bulky, unstable design.
7.6 Office

The Bang & Olufsen H95 are decent for office use. Their 42 hours of continuous battery life means you'll hardly have to recharge during the work week. They have a comfortable fit that doesn't leak much audio, and the headphones support multi-device pairing, so you can stay connected to both your phone and your computer while at work. However, their mic recording quality is just okay, so there are better options for taking video meetings. The ANC system is well-suited to working in a busy office, as it does a good job of blocking out mid- and treble-range noises like water cooler talk.

Pros
  • Comfortable fit.
  • Support multi-device pairing.
  • Excellent continuous battery life.
Cons
  • Integrated mic has mediocre noise handling.
  • Bulky, unstable design.
5.8 Wireless Gaming

The Bang & Olufsen H95 are wireless over-ears that aren't designed with wireless gaming in mind. Their latency via Bluetooth is quite high and, therefore, unsuitable for gaming. However, you can use the AptX Adaptive codec for a lower latency experience when playing games.

6.9 Wired Gaming

The Bang & Olufsen H95 are okay for wired gaming. You can connect to your PC via either USB-C or a 3.5mm audio cable, but console owners will only be able to use the audio cable. You'll only be able to receive audio while using a wired connection, though. Latency is low using both cables, and these headphones are comfortable enough for marathon gaming sessions. That said, their passive soundstage won't give you the wide, open soundstage found in open-back headphones, and their inconsistent treble response will cause in-game voices and narrative cutscenes to sound dull and lispy at times.

Pros
  • Comfortable fit.
Cons
  • Poor passive soundstage.
7.0 Phone Calls

The Bang & Olufsen H95 are reasonable for taking phone calls. While they're comfortable and support multi-device pairing via Bluetooth, the mic recording quality is just okay, and their mediocre noise handling performance makes it difficult for your voice to be understandable in busy, noisy environments. However, having access to an intuitive set of controls on both ear cups while taking a call is nice.

Pros
  • Comfortable fit.
  • Support multi-device pairing.
Cons
  • Integrated mic has mediocre noise handling.
  • Bulky, unstable design.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 are wireless, on-ear headphones. They come in four main color variants: 'Black,' 'Navy,' 'Chestnut,' and 'Gold Tone,' as well as limited edition colors 'Nordic Ice' and 'Gray Mist.' There's also a variant made in collaboration with automobile manufacturer Ferrari, which comes in black with 'Ferrari Red' accents.

We tested the 'Blue' variant, and you can see our unit's label here. If you come across another version, let us know in the forums, and we'll update our review.

Compared To Other Headphones

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 are premium wireless over-ears with a luxurious build quality and a robust feature set. While they're not quite as comfortable as the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H9i Wireless, they have a similarly sturdy build quality and a more intuitive, easy-to-use control scheme. Unfortunately, the ANC performance still isn't quite on par with competitors like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Wireless, which do a better job of blocking out low-frequency noises. That said, they have an excellent battery life performance that helps differentiate them from other premium wireless over-ears, like the Focal Bathys Wireless. However, the Focal have a built-in USB-DAC that's useful if you want to stream high-resolution audio via a wired connection. Bang & Olufsen also offer the more affordable Beoplay HX Wireless, which feature a similar design but use less premium materials and have a slightly shorter advertised battery life.

Check out our recommendations for the best noise cancelling headphones, the best headphones for music, and the best audiophile headphones.

Focal Bathys Wireless

The Focal Bathys Wireless and the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 Wireless are both premium over-ears with great build quality and comfortable fits. Which one is right for you depends on your use case. By default, the Focal have a more neutral, balanced sound compared to the more bassy Bang & Olufsen. That said, the Bang & Olufsen have a longer continuous battery life, slightly better noise isolation, and are a bit more portable, so they're a good choice for long journeys.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Wireless

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Wireless are better overall headphones than the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 Wireless. Both headphones have a lot of bass on tap, but the Bose also have a better ANC system that does a great job of tackling low-frequency sounds, like engine rumble. They're also more comfortable and have an immersive audio feature. That said, the B&O have a longer continuous battery life.

Bowers & Wilkins Px8 Wireless

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 Wireless and the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 Wireless are similarly performing closed-back, wireless headphones. While they're both very well-built and comfortable, the Bowers & Wilkins have the edge in both these areas and also have a more balanced sound profile. On the other hand, it's easier to get more consistent audio delivery with the Bang & Olufsen, which also have superior ANC performance and a slightly longer continuous battery life. 

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H9i Wireless

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 Wireless are better headphones than the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H9i Wireless. While the H9i have a more comfortable fit, the H95 are a step up in most areas. They have a more balanced sound and a more intuitive control scheme, and the companion app has improved UI and customization options. The H95 also have a much longer continuous battery life and superior ANC performance.

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 sport a sleek wireless design that's reminiscent of the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H9 Gen 1 Wireless, with their low-profile padded headband and circular ear cups. They're crafted from premium materials like aluminum, titanium, lambskin leather, cowhide leather, and high-quality plastic. They're available in four color variants ranging from the understated 'Black,' 'Navy,' and 'Chestnut' to the opulent 'Gold Tone.' There's even a version produced in collaboration with Ferrari that's available in 'Ferrari Red.' This version has the Ferrari logo etched onto an earcup and features distinctive red speaker grilles.

They're comfortable headphones. The high-quality leather and fabric that's used on the ear cups and headband feel supple to the touch and pleasant to wear. However, they fit quite tightly on the head, which might cause discomfort after prolonged use, especially if you wear glasses. Their earcups are also quite small, which isn't ideal if you have larger-than-average ears or wear earrings.

The Bang & Olufsen H95 have very good controls. They feature a unique design that allows you to adjust the volume and ANC levels via two control wheels that are located on both ear cups. There are also touchpads located on both ear cups that are responsive and allow you to input controls intuitively. There are chime sounds to acknowledge when you adjust the ANC levels, but unfortunately, they don't make a sound when you've hit maximum or minimum volume.

They come with an impressive case that provides a great level of protection against drops and bumps. It has a solid outer shell with a soft, cloth-like fabric lining the inside. The headphones are designed to fit into the case when in their folded-up state, but it can often be a tight fit. Furthermore, while the hinge is nice and snappy, there's no clasp or zipper, so it's hard to tell when the headphones are positioned correctly and the case is fully closed. You can see a photo of the headphones positioned inside the case here.

Design
Build Quality

The Bang & Olufsen H95 have great build quality. They're constructed using premium materials like titanium, aluminum, polymer, and fabric, as well as both lambskin and cowhide leather. The hinges and headband feel sturdy and well-constructed; however, while the leather ear cups feel nice on the ear, they're small and somewhat shallow. The right ear cup yoke also squeaks and creaks as you twist it. The overall impression of the build quality is that it's high quality but stiff; these headphones feel a little brittle and impliable compared to other premium wireless over-ears like the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 Wireless. That said, the provided cables are of a very high quality. They have a tough, braided shell and come with tie wraps to keep them tidy and organized while they're in the case. They're also rated IP53 for protection against dust and water splashes, which is rare for over-ear headphones and makes them a solid choice if you enjoy working out with over-ear headphones.

Design
Stability

These headphones are decently stable. They'll stay well-positioned on your head if you move around the house or lightly headbanging to your favorite tunes. That said, more intense physical activity, like running, will case them to slip off your head and require re-positioning.

The Bang & Olufsen H95 have a boomy sound profile with a very prominent bass response that will please fans of bass-centric genres like house and EDM. However, voices and lead instruments sound somewhat muted and lacking in high-end sparkle due to the veiled treble response. If you feel like switching up the sound, you can use the manufacturer's Beosonic equalizer system that's found in the companion app. It provides an intuitive interface to modify the default sound profile using a circular visualizer that lets you manipulate the characteristics of the sound in real-time. You can see how this looks here.

Some users online have also voiced their concern that these headphones' max volume isn't loud enough compared to other wireless over-ears. We had no issue getting the output of our unit to 100 dB while testing and found that they could easily exceed this while connected via USB-C or Bluetooth. However, listening to audio at volumes this high isn't recommended as it greatly increases the risk of hearing damage.

7.7
Sound
Frequency Response Consistency
Avg. Std. Deviation
0.45 dB

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 have very good frequency response consistency. They're somewhat prone to inconsistencies in the bass and treble delivery due to their smaller ear cups and tight fit, especially if you have thick hair or wear glasses. That said, if you take the time to adjust the fit and achieve a good seal, you'll get consistent audio delivery between listening sessions.

The bass accuracy is reasonable. The response is overemphasized across almost the entire range, resulting in a boomy, thumpy bass response that adds serious heft to kicks and basslines. In songs like Marea (We've Lost Dancing) by Fred Again and the Blessed Madonna, the kicks and bassline are extremely prominent and so boomy that they often blend into each other.

The treble accuracy is alright, and the overall response is uneven across almost the entire range. There are some inconsistencies between the left and right drivers in the low-treble that cause this frequency range to sound louder in the left channel in the lowest part of this range. Discerning listeners may notice a shift between L/R frequencies at higher ranges, but it won't cause issues for most playback. There's a dip between the low-treble and mid-treble, too, that hurts the upper harmonics of vocals. However, a peak at the top of the mid-treble range adds some brightness and shrillness to sibilants, like hi-hats and cymbals.

7.3
Sound

The peaks and dips performance is decent, meaning these headphones generally follow their own sound profile well. There's a dip in mid-bass that takes some of the punch out of kicks and bass instruments, followed by a slight peak across the high-bass and low-mid that adds warmth to the mix. There's a small dip in the mid-mid that hurts the detail of voices and lead instruments. The deviations in the treble range are larger; there's a significant dip in the low and mid-treble that dulls the upper harmonics of vocals, followed by a sharp peak in the mid-treble that makes sibilants, like S and T sounds, sound shrill and piercing.

The imaging performance is reasonable. Our unit's L/R drivers are well-matched regarding group delay, amplitude, and frequency, resulting in tight bass and transparent highs. This indicates Bang & Olufsen's generally high level of quality control and ergonomics in their products. While some bumps are visible in the phase response, they won't be noticeable when listening to real-life content. During subjective listening, they didn't affect the accurate placement of objects in the stereo field. The results are only valid for our test unit, so your experience may vary.

The weighted harmonic distortion performance is good. There's a slight peak in the low treble at normal listening volumes. However, this is difficult to hear in everyday content unless you have highly sensitive ears, as it affects a relatively narrow frequency band. Other frequencies fall within good limits, including at higher listening levels, so audio generally sounds clear and pure.

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95's noise isolation performance is amazing. The control wheel that adjusts the ANC level allows you to scroll between maximum noise cancellation and transparency mode (which lets in external noise that's captured by the microphones). Setting the control wheel in a neutral position produces the same result as with the headphones switched off, so any noise isolation is passively induced through the design of the headphones. The ANC system is also adaptive, ensuring that changes in noise levels around you don't alter your level of isolation and that the level of audio that's allowed in remains consistent. At the maximum ANC level, these headphones do an amazing job of cutting out higher-frequency sounds, like fridge hum and background chatter. They don't do as excellent a job blocking out the lowest rumbles of bus engines, but they still do a good job blocking out bass frequencies in general.

While not as amazing as their Full Range noise isolation performance, the Bang and Olufsen H95 still do an impressive job blocking out more everyday sounds like office chatter and street noise. Whether you're traveling by plane, working in a busy office, or running errands down a bustling street, the H95 do a good job reducing external noise so you can hear your audio. Sudden loud noises like a car door slamming and the lowest engine rumble from a passing bus will still bypass the ANC from time to time, but overall, these do a great job isolating you from outside noise.

The Bang and Olufsen H95 have a mode that aims to reduce the noise that occurs when wind hits the microphones these headphones use as part of their ANC system. This does a very good job reducing the lowest rumble of wind noise, but noise in the high bass and lower mid-range will still be audible. Thankfully, this noise is fairly dull sounding and easily masked by the audio you're listening to.

That said, in noisier environments like a busy street, your voice will be entirely drowned out as background noise removes any clarity from your voice. There are also settings accessible through the Bang & Olufsen app that let you adjust the level of wind noise reduction.

The Bang & Olufsen H95 have great Bluetooth connectivity. They support multi-device pairing via Bluetooth, meaning you can connect them to up to two devices without needing to unpair. They also support Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair for rapid pairing with your Android and Windows devices.

They have high latency while using the SBC and aptX, meaning that you'll likely observe some lip-synching issues between audio and video while watching video content with these codecs. However, this lag time is greatly reduced when using AptX Adaptive (Low Latency), and it'll automatically adjust to the High-Quality version when you're listening to audio content. Some apps compensate for latency differently, so your experience may vary. Sadly, these headphones don't support high-resolution audio codecs like LDAC. However, there's AAC support built-in for slightly higher-quality audio playback compared to the default SBC codec.
