B&O’s new headphones offer luxury listening for (a little) less

For all the fancy tech flying around in the world of hi-fi and headphones, sometimes a simple dose of style is all you need to enhance your audio experience. Enter B&O’s BeoPlay H4: polished aluminium meets lambskin luxury to deliver a set of cans that feels distinctly premium – despite a £250 price tag. Sure, that’s hardly pocket change, but it’s a lot less than its H9 siblings – and you still get a heap of audio tech for your wonga, including wireless smarts and a 19-hour battery life. Noise isolation is passive, but memory foam in the cushions should keep things snug.
