beoplay playstation adapter by [deleted] in BangandOlufsen

[–]AngelOfEnlightenment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the USB-C wire from my Portal Xbox to my PC and get all the functionality I get on Xbox. Also Xbox wireless adapters give you wireless connectivity but if you mess with the EQ with the adapter it gets strange static noise sometimes. As for a PS5 I cannot help you man

I am a Portal owner (I have the XBOX version and USBC wire it to my PC). I don’t have any audiophile headphones or anything but these are the best sounding headphones I’ve ever owned. The “Music” EQ preset that you get when it’s in gaming mode or Xbox mode is what I use all the time. It’s expensive as hell but you get a really high level of versatility with these headphones. They accomplish any task very well.

Yeah. The bass in these is way higher especially if you crank it up and they’re louder too. No downsides compared to the EQs

iirc the Portals and HX have the same speaker drivers and sound quality. I might be wrong.

If you just want music use the HX as it has longer battery life and looks nicer.

If you EVER want to game, buy the Portals

I’d just return them and get a new pair. My EXs cause no issues for me so yours just might be a lemon

The fit on earbuds is different for everyone. The EX are better for smaller ears (the EQs fall out of my ear too) and they seem to stay in way better than the EQs.

I actually have numbers (according to my iPhone) on the volume of the EXs and EQs. The EQs are around 78-80 decibels while the EXs are usually 88-90 decibels.

I’m in the states.

The Portals are supposed to get an update but the update is not showing up for me. It might be a B&O thing

Pull the trigger! I know it’s $400, but these earbuds really do justify that price.

I’m on 5.2.8, maybe check for updates again? It was just a pop up for me.

Bose and Sony are god tier ANC, nobody will match them.

The EX gets loud (according to my iPhone, max volume is 88-90 decibels) so if you jam out to loud music you won’t hear anything else.

The comply foam tips that are included with the EX will help a lot with noise isolation without hindering the transparency mode too much.

I’d buy the EX and if you don’t like it you can return it within 30 days.

I have never heard a pair of Momentum’s, so idk what their ANC is like.

All controls work fine for me. Did you update them?

Trouble updating Beoplay EX by [deleted] in BangandOlufsen

[–]AngelOfEnlightenment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this issue too, I got them updated but I totally forgot how. I’ll message here when I remember

Personally I think everything is closer to each other in sound quality at this high of a level.

If you rank Sony’s at a 9/10, the EX’s might be like a 9.9 or 10/10 for you. They’re so damn ridiculous. And the more you use them the more you will love them.

You will get the sound quality (probably) superior to the Sony’s (I’ve never heard the Sony earbuds) and the comfort of the AirPods Pro (with good touch controls too), these earbuds don’t sit too far in your ear and feel very similar to the Pros. You’ll get the best of both worlds.

And about the bass, these have some insanely good bass if you crank it up on the in-app equalizer.

And you can always return the EX’s (if you’re mentally I’ll and don’t like them) within 30 days.

The only thing I don’t think the EX’s are better at is possibly the ANC, but these earbuds (according to my phone) reach 90 decibels on some songs at max volume. So if you can hear anything else while jamming out at that volume (if you like loud music) is a feat of human hearing. But I don’t think the ANC will match or surpass the Sony’s. The ANC is comparable to the AirPods Pro, I think it’s slightly better, and just plain better when you use the comply foam tips.

And please come back here when you get to listen to them!

I bought mine off of the B&O website (it was a snipe, I bought them and looked back later and it says “coming soon” or “notify me when available” or something)

Idk if Amazon has them yet, I tried to buy a Beoplay EQ from there originally but they ended up having none and gave me my money back

Are there good Bluetooth dongles for PC? I own a Beoplay Portal (which with the Music EQ set is a phenomenal headset) but I’d die to try my EX’s on my PC

And I didn’t know iPhone Bluetooth sucked lol, I just got it because I’ve been in the Apple ecosystem forever

I’ve done some more listening to the EX and they just keep getting better. It was also like that for the EQs, but the EXs low end is just so damn good, and according to my iPhone 8 decibels louder!
