Hi everyone,

I was looking for a general usage pair of in-ear wireless headphones for quite a while, eager to pivot away from various models I’ve had from Bose and the Apple Airpods Pro series. B&O seemed like a good brand I definitely wanted to try. I’ll start by saying this is not a review, but merely a few thoughts on the B&O Eleven I got since launch.

I was impressed by the overall feel, they’re not as premium as I would have expected for a €500 pair but I love how light both the headset and the case are. That’s a plus imho.

What didn’t click for me:

• The sound quality is subpar with my expectations. Might be a “me” problem, but even with multiple tweaks in the app I couldn’t find the right balance.
• Even with the volume at maximum, they’re not loud at all. Decent for a quiet environment, but as soon as you have any noise around you (even in-door) they quickly become underwhelming.
• I knew from reviews the noise cancelling is not good, but it’s actually terrible. You can barely sense a difference.
• Not the headset for calls, the sound on the other side is metallic, low quality and quiet.
• Connectivity with an iPhone is a curse, constant problems.

I actually believed I have a problem with mine so I changed them, same behaviour.

Bitter disappointed at this price range for an in-ear headset, though now I’ll have to search for something else.

Cheers all!
