About the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H5
Premium in-ear headphones with the freedom of Bluetooth®
Premium in-ear headphones with the freedom of Bluetooth®
The durable, comfortable Beoplay H5 wireless headphones give you convenient on-the-go listening — and look good doing it.
When I think of wireless earbuds, words like "convenient" or "nifty" come to mind, but I don't always think "luxury." Leave it to Bang & Olufsen to change that. The boutique Danish audio company's Beoplay H5 wireless headphones have a high-end feel and an understated style. Rubberized earpieces ensure the H5 'phones are durable enough for exercise, and a tasteful touch of aluminum makes them suitable for wearing out. They fit securely yet delicately in-ear, while your music or podcasts play wirelessly via Bluetooth — no cord from your phone to cause hassle.
Helpful iOS® app and user-friendly features
Large dynamic earbud drivers deliver smooth sound. Apple® users can make tonal adjustments based on mood or genre with a free downloadable app for iPhone® or Apple Watch. And when you're done listening, snap the two earpieces together using their built-in magnets. The music will automatically stop, and you can wear them around your neck until you're ready to listen again.
Comfortable, custom fit
From the gym, to the train, to your desk at work, the Beoplay H5s fit in anywhere, thanks to their light, compact in-ear design. And the included ear tips ensure they stay comfortable. There's a selection of seven pairs, so you can find ones that match your ears well. There are four sizes of silicone tips and three sizes of Comply™ memory foam tips.
Music plays wirelessly from your phone via Bluetooth, and the Beoplay app for Apple gives you control over the sound.
I'm a big fan of Comply foam tips — they're my personal favorite — because they fit snug but feel light and unobtrusive. The Comply "Sports" tips included here are extra-breathable and have a special membrane to keep moisture away from the earbuds' internal circuitry.
Rugged cord with remote for taking phone calls
Take a close look at the Beoplay H5 photos. You'll notice B&O didn't use a run-of-the-mill cable to connect the two earpieces. That cable is covered with a soft, braided textile and is dust- and sweat-proof like the earpieces.
Even the inline remote is durable. It features a built-in mic so you can answer calls without reaching for your phone. You can also skip songs or play and pause music.

The headphones magnetically click into the cube for charging. When not wearing or charging the headphones, you can click the magnets together to automatically power down the earphones to save the battery.
