Pretty ugly😮

 

No way near H95 design wise....

To me the design of the H95 looks quite old fashioned and outdated compared to the Max. But I guess this is just a matter of taste. What I probably don't like about the Max are their earcushions made out of fabrics instead of leather.

 

 

I used to think that, too.  E.g. Sennheiser HD5xx/6xx pads get grungy, even though they are black so you can't see it.  But I changed my mind: I just buy new ones as necessary, and the foam (underneath) compliance gets renewed up-to-spec along with the fabric -- which does affect the sound!  Even (for an expensive example) Focal Clear's use UltraSuede cloth, not leather. (Definitely a matter of taste, by the way -- those Apple hamburger-buns look as old-fashioned as radio DJ Koss Pro-4/AA phones from 1970.  I thought they looked goofy the first time around...)

Will be interesting to see, how the H95 will (or can?) compete with the new Apple AirPods Max now they're out: https://www.apple.com/airpods-max/ And if B&O can keep their pricepoint.

And unlike B&O there's no need for colourful special editions .5 colours to choose from right now.

Yes, I’m also curious to see comparisons and reviews.

BTW, the AirPods Max are a no go for my user case as I’m listening to NC cans when travelling by plane and these headphones don’t have an audio jack to be connected to the entertainment system.

I presume the AP Max are more targeted to urban commuters (train, bus, tube).

Maybe in few years the airlines will ditch the jack, then BT will be the new 3,5 mm audio jack. 🙂

Regards.

Outdated??

Max look more futuristic outdated for me.

Who wants to wear them on the street except a carpenter??😕

I think the little knob to change volume on the Max is the worst thing, looks outdated and not easy to use compared to our big tactile volume wheels.

and non-user replaceable battery in such a big thing (where a system to open a cap and hide the battery can be made) is just a way to make you spend 95€ In servicing after 4 years of (intensive) use.

On the AirPods Max there is a Lightning to headphone port - at extra cost 🙄

Hi Beoworlders,

I thought a full review of the H95 could be helpful, I have added this to my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/LWf_3SRIbtM

Please let me know how this compares to your views of the H95?

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi, I am a new member of Beoplay forum. I bought the H95 about ten days ago.

I'm wearing glasses on daily bases and I noticed a slight lack of sound quality when I hear H95 with glasses on, mainly, but not only, on sub bass that become thinner.

Did someone of you notice the same thing?

Any solution or workaround?

Is it possible that use of H95 make pads "adjusting" to my glasses' shape?  

Tank you in advance (and sorry for my English)

I just reserved my h95.

i have one question neither the manual nor sales rep could answer.

what exactly is the benefit of the MFi certification? It’s Bluetooth and shouldn’t need it, as it doesn’t have a lightening connector anyway.

is the pairing process to an iPhone the same as other Bluetooth headsets, or does it have some trickery up it’s sleeve, like AirPods?
