Ear cup discs of stamped, polished, and anodized aluminum echo the clean look, while cords are encased in braided textile and left partially visible between the slider and headband, adding a hip and durable design touch.
Music is social, but the headphone listening experience can be very personal. With the Beoplay App, users can further personalize the experience by matching sound profiles to particular activities or environments.

These H4s are the best ones I found under $300.
I considered the following:
B&O H8
JBL E65BTNC
Bose QuietComfort 35 (Series II)
Sony MDR1000X/B
Sony XB950N1
I also tried multiple cheaper headphones like Avantree 40 and Symphonized Headphones. They were exactly that - cheap - mediocre materials and average sound. In this same class are the AUSDOM headphones I already owned, which were also not comfortable when wearing for hours (the reason to start the search).
Unfortunately, these cheap headphones get high ratings on Amazon, because most people are just looking for cheap headphones that sound OK. That makes it difficult for those of us really interested in sound.
The B&O H8s, which are almost identically constructed, simply didn't sound as good to me as the H4s, which is fine, as the H8's are $100 more.
The Bose phones were the most comfortable of all the phones I tried. They're light and fit nicely over the ears. However, the H4s sound slightly better, believe it or not. I was surprised. Fortunately, I was able to get my own tunes hooked up to both for an apples to apples comparison. The H4s performing better worked out well for me, as I was able to get the H4s $100 cheaper than the Bose phones. :)
The JBLs sounded great and were fairly comfortable. While they appeared to be sturdy, they apparently have a circuitry defect per multiple Amazon reviews.
The Sony MDR1000X/B phones sounded good. In fact, I saw a recent article that suggests they have surpassed the Bose phones as the best ANC phones available. However, I did not get them because a) they were not quite as comfortable as the H4s and b) they didn't sound quite as good as the H4s (or Bose) to me.
The Sony XB950N1 phones were some of the most comfortable (light and not tight on the head). As well, they have good bass, as advertised. However, the sound was a tad bit muddier than the H4s. For the price/performance, if I hadn't gotten the H4s, I would have gotten these.
As other reviews suggest, the H4s don't have Active Noise Cancelling. However, they block out more sound than most headphones I've ever had.
The H4s were the third most comfortable phones I looked at (Bose were #1 and XB950N1 #2).
The sound quality on the H4s was the best of the phones I looked at. (Bose was #2.)
The construction of the H4s is the best of the phones I looked at - very solid. In fact, a bit too heavy for some people's tastes, but fine by me.
The bass on the H4s is definitely there. You just have to make sure you can tweak the sound on whatever player you use, because out of the box the H4s are not as bass-heavy as some prefer.
Note that price was a tertiary consideration for me. Amazon has some killer deals on phones that are refurbished or slightly used. I was able to get some practically brand new H4s for about $80 cheaper than new ones.
These headphones changed my mind.
First - the quality of these is out of this world. My wife and I both thought they were beautiful just to look at, and everything about them looks and feels high end. And these are the 'low end' head phones of the series as well! For the price you pay, the quality (at least in construction) is definitely there.
Then, I put these on to listen wirelessly. I'll admit, that when I first queued up some songs I was busy working and soon got distracted and stopped paying attention to the music. Until a Daft Punk song came up on the bass kicked in. I actually sat straight up and gasped, because I had never felt bass from a headphone be that powerful and rich. After that I started listening seriously to a variety of songs and genres, and everything was absolutely spectacular. Highs, mids, and lows. I read on another review site that a reviewer thought these sounded a bit more 'happy' than other headphones, and I somewhat agree - but I love it. I've tried other headphones at this price point (courtesy of Vine), and I can honestly say that these are by far the best I've ever heard.
So, overall:
* Sound Quality - Spectacular - clear soaring highs, solid mids, and surprisingly powerful bass.
* Build Quality - Spectacular - everything looks and feels premium
* Comfort - These are possibly the most comfortable headphones I've ever used - you can almost forget you're wearing them.
* Wireless - This works great - there are no issues with streaming sound quality.
* Features - The feature set is 'OK'. You've got on/off and bluetooth sync, and a volume rocker on the headset. You can also use the controls to fast forward and rewind your music with certain button combinations (which I find awkward to use). There are no inline controls. There's not even a carrying bag. You get a charging cable and an audio cable, and that's it. Something else - inline controls, a bag, etc., would have been appropriate at this price point.
* Setup - This was the low point for me. It took me multiple tries and about 20 minutes to get this properly synced with my phone. Once it was set up, however, everything was good. There is an app, but as far as I can tell its basically pointless.
If you're in the market for high-end headphones around this price point, I can whole-heartedly recommend these. This assume, of course, that you don't need a mic, and don't care about 'extras'. You're just paying for exceptional sound quality and build, and that's not a bad thing.

If you're in the market for high-end headphones around this price point, I can whole-heartedly recommend these. This assume, of course, that you don't need a mic, and don't care about 'extras'. You're just paying for exceptional sound quality and build, and that's not a bad thing.

Pese a tratarse de unos auriculares cerrados, ofrecen un sonido limpio y diáfano, lo más parecido posible a unos de tipo abierto. Es un audio muy natural, en el que los filtros digitales pasan muy desapercibidos.
En cuanto al volumen de salida, no se quedan cortos en ninguna circunstancia. Lo he probado con mi smartphone, una tablet y un reproductor Fiio M7. En todos los casos no he necesitado subir el volumen más allà del 80% (tampoco en exteriores). Los propios auriculares tienen botones de control de volumen en una de las copas.
No disponen de cancelación activa de ruido. Ésto es un punto en contra o a favor, dependerá de los gustos y el uso que se le quiera dar. Los auriculares con ANC suelen ofrecer un sonido diferente, en que el filtrado y el proceso digital se hacen más evidentes. A cambio, son imbatibles en condiciones de mucho ruido: aviones, trenes, etc.
Cabe decir que la cancelación pasiva de los Beoplay H4 es excelente, ya que se ajustan muy bien a la oreja. En entornos poco o moderadamente ruidosos, no he echado en falta la función ANC. En mi caso, prefiero sacrificar el silencio absoluto de unos Sony wh-1000XM o unos Bose Quietcomfort a cambio de obtener una experiencia de audio más natural.
El emparejamiento via Bluetooth quizá no es tan rápido como en otros modelos. He tardado un poco en asociarlos con alguno de mis dispositivos. Pero una vez establecida la conexión la primera vez, ésta se mantiene estable, sin mayores problemas.
No recomiendo usarlos conectados con el cable de 3,5. La calidad de audio empeora sensiblemente. Son unos auriculares diseñados para uso inalámbrico
La duración de la bateria en uso real se acerca mucho a la especificada por el fabricante. Ninguna queja. Es más que suficiente.
Por lo que se refiere a la ergonomia, cabe decir que son cómodos. Resulta fàcil ajustarlos a la cabeza y tienen un peso moderado. Personalmente me resultan más confortables las copas ovaladas de otros modelos, que las circulares de estos B&O. Pero esto depende de cada usuario. El caso es que aprietan poco, las almohadillas son suaves y poco calurosas.
La percepción de calidad es muy alta. Diseño y materiales se sienten “Premium”, un punto por encima de otras marcas en idéntico rango de precio.
Si tengo que poner un pero en este sentido, es que el cable que dejan a la vista queda un poco expuesto y obliga a tratarlos con cuidado. Es un detalle de diseño vintage, que la marca ha decidido corregir en la 2a generación de estos H4, en busca de una mayor practicidad.
En resumen: si queréis unos auriculares para escuchar música en exterior e interior, buscáis un sonido limpio y equilibrado y no necesitáis la cancelación de ruido activa, los Beoplay H4 son una excelente elección. Diría que valen lo que cuestan e incluso un poco más. No es sólo una cuestión de lucir marca o diseño. Son un producto top a un precio más que correcto si consideramos el nivel de calidad que ofrecen.
Pros
- El sonido es potente pero sin dejar de ser cálido y muy nítido a la vez , en mi gusto personal no le hace falta cancelación de ruido
-Tiene una APP para ecualizar el sonido de acuerdo a como a uno le guste
- los materiales son de calidad y las almohadillas muy cómodas
Contras
- tal vez el hecho que no incluya estuche , no es un gran problema para mi , porque hay muchas opciones para comprar Por aparte
