      I’ll let the picture do the talking. From B&O’s own support pages (via Google).

      I have no idea what these are all about but I wish I could feel at least a little positive about their looks. How does something like this get an approval at B&O? RIP the clean look of the E8 3rd Gen.

        My guess is that it is cheap. They are missing cheap products in this segment.

        But that one is not for me, really ugly.

          Same price, I guessed wrong

          Beoplay EX is designed around a stem-based architecture which has several benefits. The main housing placed inside your ear is smaller than ever, improving comfort and making EX secure in the majority of ears. The stem allows for optimal microphone placement and efficient reduction of background noise. This means that EX is our best earphones for calls and conferencing to date.

          The colours, materials and overall finish elevates the entire experience. It’s like wearing a piece of jewellery. The attention to the design details sets us apart in a market saturated with conventional and uninspiring CE-products. The glass touch controls presents a mirror-like finish and ensure an excellent experience when interacting with EX. The beautifully crafted aluminium charging case is light and durable. The perfect place to keep your EX charged and protected.

          Waterproof construction

          Precise craftsmanship and brilliant engineering has allowed us to make EX waterproof while keeping the compact size. The earbuds are IP57-rated which means protection in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes. Matched with a secure fit, EX is primed for any sport that’ll work up a sweat.

                        I don’t think the EX will be cheap. As far as I recall the E8 Sport was at a very similar price point to that of the E8 3rd Gen at the time. The EQ was more expensive than the E8 3rd Gen, so I’d say perhaps a price between the EQ and the E8 Sport.

                        Thanks for the additional images. I like the colour options but I agree that this just looks horrid in my view. The earbuds remind me instantly of Apple Earpods and I get it that the “architecture” they are referring to has got its benefits, but in my view it blows up one of the core ideas about B&O, that being simplicity. This is basically admitting that they are unable to make the earbuds small enough without protruding parts. The most extreme I can go and that I have is to get a pair of EQs.

                        I do find a good pair of earphones great to have where using headphones would be less practical, and I have got E6, E8 (1st, 2nd, 3rd gen), E8 Sport and EQ, I am definitely skipping the EX. Never been more certain about not wanting a B&O product :(. But then again, there are more practicality-focused customers than me. I just wish B&O could fix the size issue with the EQ first, instead of making compromises like the one we see with the EX.

                        As for the “soul-stirring sound”, for that I have the H95.

                        So the next one up is Beoplay 500. Hope those headphones will not be a similar disappointment.

                          @Emilos88

                          Where/how did you find the pics/information?

                          When I try searching for Beoplay EX via the Support page, there is nothing.

                          When I try via the Google picture result, I – on the B&O site – am greeted with a request for logging in…..which never happened before.

                              Thanks!

                              Which means, that they offer these new earbuds before B&O has launched them officially.

                              ’Soul-stirring sound’…..that must be amazing ?

                                    Maybe B&O will finally have an earbud that has good voice call clarity.

                                      Going to get me a pair in glossy white.

                                      Wonder if anyone will think I’ve got a pair of cheap knock-off EarPods?

                                            This is odd – still not released (as far as I can see), but already unboxed/reviewed on YT:
