N.B. Those of you, who don’t read danish, will have to use Google Translate, I guess ;-)

Thank you!

 

Takeaways from that review:

- to mute the mic in calls, you use the round button

- unfortunately, they don't have transparency with music pause like the H9 3rd Gen (music keeps playing when you enable transparency mode

I hope to be wrong on the second point.

Is there? I can't find any pictures, and the comparison chart on the B&O website only states "Now Including a Fabric Carrying Case". Did the H9 Gen3 not include the wonderful microfiber sack? I surely hope this doesn't just mean they're bundling the HX with the same old bag.

It is better than nothing, I suppose 😎

The case is shown in the last photo on the website. It looks like it has some structure to it. Nice.

If you look at the pictures in the link, that I posted, you clearly see that case.

Ah yes, I see it now. "Now Including a Fabric Carrying Case" doesn't seem to be an appropriate description for what that is. Pretty neat πŸ‘

Which one will be more comfortable h95 or hx? Thanks

Here is a video review of the HX:

Unfortunately, confirmed they don't work in passive mode, just like the H95 πŸ™

It’s a shame that they’ve put a non-replaceable battery into this new headphone (as they did with H95). Especially after the emphasis they put on the replaceable battery of the Level.
