B&O continues its run of well-designed headphones with the H8i and H9i, and for the most part, the audio is up to par. The volume issue with the H8i is a big sticking point for me, especially when you consider how steep the investment is there. The H9i is...

The handsome B&O Play Beoplay H9i headphones offer excellent audio quality in a luxurious design, but you can get better noise cancellation for less...
Abstract: Bang and Olufsen have updated their wireless over-ear headphone line with the Beoplay H9i. Now offering more features and better sound, these headphones are an upgrade from its previous model. They're quite an expensive pair, but hopefully justified by B...
Engaging, spacious presentation, Impressive noise-cancelling, Gorgeous, comfortable design, Good battery life
Expensive, Touch controls can be temperamental
At £450, the B&O H9i are an investment that many budgets will find it hard to stretch to, but they do work really hard to prove they're worth it. They beat the Bose QC35II and Sony WH-1000XM3 for out-and-out sound quality, and take on the B&W PX blow for...

Very comfortable for long periods of wear, Subtle noise-cancelling is excellent and further improved over original H9, Wide soundstage and heaps of low-frequency without muddying the sound profile, Decent battery life and USB-C charging
Significant asking price, Noise-cancelling not as potent as some competitors, Passive listen is a bit thin, Bluetooth is a little too quiet (regulations issue), Wind tear a potential problem for ANC when outside, Battery drains when ANC is idle
As we said of the H9 before, it's all too easy to criticise the H9i for the high price tag. But that would be to ignore the epic sound quality, supreme comfort, lovely build quality, and the sound/ANC/battery improvements compared to the older model.The H...
The B&O Beoplay H9i headphones don't come cheap and there's no shortage of more affordable rivals. The Sony WH-1000XM2 has more comprehensive features and the Bose QuietComfort 35 II has better noise cancellation.But none of those have the aesthetic appea...

Abstract: US$499 (local pricing yet to be finalised)Announced at CES 2018, the Beoplay H9i are this year's upgrade to B&O's flagship wireless headphone range. And while they may look almost identical to the already excellent H9 from 2017, the Danish audio ma...

Abstract: I was a little worried about testing B&O Play's Beoplay H9i, after having some misgivings about the company's smaller Beoplay H4's bass-heavy “street” sound. Fortunately, it has decided to tune the larger wireless headphones, just launched last month at t...
Fabrication robuste, finitions très soignées, Commandes complètes, Batterie amovible, Qualité de la captation offerte par les micros intégrés/mode Transparency efficace, Bonne réduction de bruit active
Coloration du rendu sonore trop marquée, et qui peut devenir fatigante sans correction via l'EQ, Membranes qui traînent encore trop, Fonctionnement erratique du capteur de proximité, Indications trop discrètes
Même avec ses évolutions, il est difficile pour le H9i de s'imposer dans le cercle fermé des casques sans fil à réduction de bruit active. La concurrence directe est très rude, surtout avec un tel prix de lancement (499 €). On préfère nettement le Sony WH...
