Beoplay Eleven earbuds in copper

Bang & Olufsen has launched the Beoplay Eleven, an evolution of its popular Beoplay EX wireless earbuds, said to be inspired by fine jewellery.

These next-gen Bluetooth buds also boast Bang & Olufsen’s most advanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology yet, offering double the noise reduction at low frequencies compared to its predecessor, while an enhanced Transparency Mode allows for a more natural ambient sound experience.

For clearer calls, the Beoplay Eleven is equipped with six updated microphones, designed to reduce background noise and hiss. For the external microphones, Bang & Olufsen engineers have integrated additional holes in the stem with a fine mesh padding, said to give a more open sound and help relieve wind pressure.

Wind noise is filtered out more effectively when the Wind Guard feature is activated in the B&O app.

Bang & Olufsen says it drew inspiration from its luxurious Beoplay H100 headphones when designing the Beoplay Eleven. The polished aluminium finish is available in two colourways: Natural Aluminium and Copper Tone. 

The Aluminium edition is a clear reference to the brand’s classic Hi-Fi design aesthetic, while the warm Copper Tone is more overtly fashion forward. The earbuds are housed in a lightweight, pearl-blasted aluminium charging case.

The stem-based construction also prioritises comfort, with soft silicone ear tips that adapt to various ear shapes for a secure, stable fit. An IP57 rating provides resistance against water and dust, making them suitable for use in diverse environments.

In line with ever evolving sustainability goals, the Beoplay Eleven also feature replaceable batteries (set to become a European requirement in 2027). This design decision extends the product’s lifespan and supports more sustainable consumer habits.

The Beoplay Eleven Natural Aluminium edition is available now, priced at £429 (€499 / $499). The Copper Tone model launches December 17.
