Bang & Olufsen is known globally for its premium audio products and high-end consumer electronics. The company focuses highly on the build quality of its products by using high-quality, luxurious materials. Today, B&O announced Beo Grace, a new pair of true wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation.
Beo Grace features a stem design made from raw aluminum and finished in a high-shine mirror polish. The earbuds can be stored in a pearl-blasted, matte-finish aluminum case. B&O also announced an exclusively designed Beo Grace pouch made from premium leather to store the aluminum case. The pouch will be available in Infinite Black, Cranberry Red, and Seashell Grey.
When it comes to audio performance, B&O claims that Beo Grace will deliver high-quality sound, thanks to the 12mm titanium driver and precision-milled aluminum grilles. They also come with Spatial Audio support for a more natural listening experience.
When compared to B&O"s previous wireless earbuds, Beo Grace offers four times more effective ANC performance, thanks to a three-microphone array in each earpiece. The new EarSense tech can automatically adapt sound and ANC performance in real time based on the wearer"s ear acoustic signature and environment. The new TrueTransparency mode will deliver a natural audio experience even when the earbuds are worn.
The battery life of these earbuds is decent when compared to the current flagships. The Beo Grace earpieces can offer up to 4.5 hours of battery life on a single charge and up to 17 hours with ANC when including the charging case. With just 5 minutes of charging, they deliver 2.5 hours of playback.
The most insane thing about Beo Grace is its pricing. Beo Grace will be available starting this November for $1,500. The pouch will cost you an extra $400.
With its premium materials and advanced audio technology, the Beo Grace clearly targets the luxury end of the market. However, whether the audio performance and design can justify the staggering price tag will be the ultimate test for these high-end earbuds.
