Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H100 - Designer Headphones Gift
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H100 - Designer Headphones Gift
There are headphones that play music. And then there's a designer headphones gift that changes how someone experiences sound entirely. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H100 is the second kind — and it's not even close.
This is Bang & Olufsen's flagship. Their statement piece. The pair they built when the brief was "make the best headphones we've ever made, regardless of cost." Forty years of Danish acoustic engineering condensed into something you wear on your head.
If you're looking at the price and wondering whether headphones can really be worth £1,500 — they can. But only these ones.

Why the Beoplay H100?
Noise cancellation that doesn't just block sound — it erases it. The H100 uses next-generation active noise cancelling that adapts to your environment in real time. Aeroplane cabin? Gone. Open-plan office? Silence. Wind on a morning run? Filtered out so your calls sound like you're in a recording studio.
Dolby Atmos optimisation means music isn't just played — it's placed. Instruments exist in three-dimensional space around your head. Once you hear a familiar song through these, you'll hear things in the mix you never knew were there.
32 hours of battery life. That's London to Sydney and back again without reaching for a charger. Three months of standby means they're ready whenever you are — no dead-battery surprises.
And the leather carrying case isn't an afterthought. It's a proper protective case built to the same standard as the headphones themselves. Because something that costs £1,500 deserves better than being tossed in a backpack.
The Bang & Olufsen Difference
Bang & Olufsen has been making audio equipment in Denmark since 1925. While other brands chase specs and price wars, B&O has spent a century obsessing over one thing: how sound actually makes people feel.
The Beoplay H100 isn't competing with Sony or Bose on features. It's competing with the experience of live music. The warmth. The detail. The moment you close your eyes and forget you're wearing headphones at all.
That's the difference between audio equipment and a Bang & Olufsen. One plays music. The other disappears and leaves you alone with it.
Who Is This For?
Let's be honest — this is not an impulse purchase. This is a designer headphones gift for someone specific:
- The audiophile who already owns everything except the best
- The frequent flyer who lives in airport lounges and business class cabins
- The remote worker whose calls need to sound immaculate
- The music lover who cares about how a song was meant to sound
- The person who simply won't accept second best — in anything
Perfect For
- Valentine's Day — the gift that says "I know exactly who you are"
- Birthday — the upgrade that retires every pair they've ever owned
- Anniversary — 32 hours of battery, a lifetime of appreciation
- Promotion — they earned the corner office, now earn the sound to match
- Self-purchase — because you've been reading this and convincing yourself you don't need them. You do.
