Unfortunately, confirmed they don't work in passive mode, just like the H95 🙁

Damn.  That's one of the reasons why i didn't buy the H95 and I was looking forward to the HX(10) , so no HX for me 

When i read the spec guide and it said 

Inputs/Outputs "1.25 m audio cable with 3.5mm mini-jack for corded Connectivity", i was hoping this meant YES to PASSIVE MODE.

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.

Wow, I didn't saw that! That's a shame, and considering how the design has not evolved from the H9 and the battery is still rated at the same capacity, they put energy just to make it different with a non-replaceable battery. I was considering an upgrade, not anymore.

I would like to see how these compare to the H95.

Any pair of headphones without passive mode capability is a total no go for me. So I will stay absolutely happy with my H7s which sound great as I don’t give a damn about ANC. Sorry B&O you once again take the wrong turn.

But you can replace the battery, takes 2-5 mins with a small screwdriver.

Hello!

We have spoken on Reddit about this (battery availability for the H9 3rd Gen) 😁

Do you know if the HX allow the same easy opening as H9 3rd Gen do?

Send a link to the thread pls, how to open them?

Please sent us a proof, can’t find any info about this. I only see your messages at the Reddit and other beoworld threads.
