Bang & Olufsen has launched its latest premium earbuds, the Beoplay Eleven, priced at $499. These earbuds boast advanced noise cancellation, replaceable batteries (with a caveat), and a sleek design.
Design and Features
The Beoplay Eleven features a stem design, with each earbud weighing 6 grams and the charging case weighing 53 grams. The earbuds and case are made of a combination of aluminum, glass, polymer, and silicone. They are IP57 rated for dust and water resistance.
Key features include:
- Improved noise cancellation and transparency mode (compared to Beoplay Ex)
- 9.2mm drivers
- Six MEMS microphones
- Touch controls
- Wind Guard for clearer calls
- Bluetooth 5.2 with Multipoint, Google Fast Pair, and Microsoft Swift Pair
- Made for iPhone (MFi) certification
- aptX Adaptive, AAC, and SBC codec support
- Replaceable batteries (via service center)
- USB-C and Qi wireless charging
Battery Life and Replaceable Batteries
The Beoplay Eleven offers up to 6 hours of playtime with ANC enabled (20 hours with the case) and up to 8 hours with ANC off (28 hours with the case). While the earbuds have replaceable batteries, they must be replaced by a service center, not the user, to comply with upcoming EU regulations.
Price and Availability
The Beoplay Eleven is available now for $499/€499 in Natural Aluminum. A Copper Tone version will be available starting December 17th.
