The downside of user replaceable battery is shorter battery life and from what I know all high end headphones or consumer electronics are going with sealed batteries. My older H9i had replaceable battery which I never replaced and the H9 3rd gen which does not have replaceable battery is better in every way.

You can't please all the people all the time  🙂

In the US you can ship them to get the battery replaced based on my experience. The same as I would do with an iPhone or a Bose product etc...

Beoplay is done, everything is just B&O now. They did that about a year ago. My gen 2 h4’s had no beoplay markings on them nor did the new a1 or last h9i even iirc.

I promptly ordered a limited edition H95 set on 8/27 via an email link and was pleasantly surprised when my H95s were delivered within 24 hours on 8/28. I don't believe the limited edition adds anything more than a small engraved number on the case [and the headset] (46/95 in my case), so I wouldn't be too disappointed if one did not get that version.  I think the benefit of limited aspect of it is more or less in getting it on 8/28 instead of 9/10.

All that said, the H95 is utterly fantastic and I'm supremely happy with it.  I'll leave the sound quality impressions for others to make (I suspect they will mirror my own impressions and be rather positive), but I wanted to point out two things about the H95 that others may overlook in their comments. To give my background, I have a pair of H6 (which broke after a long life) and H9i.  The H6 is my gold standard in headphone comfort, and as much as I loved the ANC and wireless aspect of the H9i, they are not as comfortable on my head as the H6.  The H9i feels heavier and bulkier than the H6.  The H95 however, is notably more comfortable on my head than the H9i and approaches the comfort of the H6.  Frankly, I'm not sure how this is the case. Perhaps the H95 is lighter than the H9i (I did not check) or more balanced, but ultimately I do not know.  Then again, the how my not matter because the end result is an extremely comfortable pair of headphones.  Also, I wanted to comment on the compact size of the H95.  I've often found the H9i to be rather sizable when stowing for travel.  In contrast, the H95 is much more compact when folded, which makes it a fantastic travel companion (especially with the stunning performance of its ANC).

So do I have any gripes? None so far; I'm extremely pleased with the H95!
