Beoplay Portal

Bought this mostly for the ANC and it works. Not as well as airpods pro 2 maybe? (Its hard to compare them really) But I got these because I wanted a gaming headset with noise cancelling because we have this industrial fan in the basement running constantly to circulate air and my old ps4 rig 800s (I use them on ps5) let that noise bleed through. Which isn't there fault, they're designed for comfort over everything. And they're the best in comfort imo. But it was time to upgrade. Either way, the headphones themselves sound great. Better than the rig 800s. And they can get a little loud than my ears can handle which is nice to know because some of these gaming headsets like the turtle beach 700s max on the loudest setting arnt even close (which i own for my xbox). After setting these up, and using the app, like I've read from other reviews elsewhere the app is hit or miss. It works on my phone with no issues, but then I tried on my ipad and it had non-stop issues connecting and errors popping up. And sadly in both it always tells me my battery is like 84 or 81% battery life. I've yet to determine if its actually the battery or a glitch with the headphones. I'll be sure to update this review if it turns out to be the headphones. I've already contacted b&o USA number and they've opened a ticket for me if I determine its the battery. My personal opinion is its the buggy app but we'll see. The only design physical flaw I've noticed on these, is the metal part of the left cup wasn't polished like the right cup. So you can feel the metal circular grooves and its kind of unpleasant to a degree. But such a minor flaw, I'm willing to over look it. As far as how they sound, they're really great. The EQ options are kind of terrible in the app for bluetooth. Like I honestly don't even understand why there are even other options. Cause the standard optimized one is best. It must be very situational for other uses? But I found them very lackluster and did not offer any kind of improvement at all. For gaming via the usb dongle, the eq options are much better. They give you the ability to fine tune it and though I have no idea how to, I know it gives you free range to do so. Unlike the Bluetooth EQ. They are entirely different from each other. All in all, I really like these headphones. They're a little tight on my head. And I wear titanium framed glasses with very flexible rubberized tips for your ears. And they don't hurt or interfere to much. Maybe push down on my nose a bit but it takes a little trial and error moving them slightly and they're perfect. I would highly recommend these if you're into gaming on ps5, they work well. And I bet they're even better on pc with dolby atmos since its free. All in all, I'm content with this purchase.

I ordered the PC/PS version which might be important as I suspect it is a more refined product, having been released a year or so later. Thought I'd write a review because all seemed focused on xbox and some of the common complaints don't apply. I was looking for headphones to us in PC VR gaming and had several requirements: (1) Low latency 2.4 ghz wireless PC connection; (2) Noise cancellation including good transparency effect; (3) Good sound quality; and (4) a decent mic. These fit all my requirements where no other headset out there did. These are not perfect, but they are perfect for my use case - so 5 stars relative to what I wanted. Pros: - Very well made. Feel very high quality/premium. - My wife thinks they look good. I like the silver/grey color. - I have owned plenty of headphones but don't claim audiophile expertise. My reference point for sound quality is the Bose 700 headset I have been using (wired to my quest 2 headset). Different sound signatures, but these are at least as good and better as it pertains specifically to gaming. - ANC is good enough to be worthwhile and useful. Not as effective as my Bose 700 or my Bose QC Earbuds, but different use case really. Where I take my Bose with me outside, these I use only inside. ANC is more than sufficient to block out the annoying fans on our AC/heating units while at home. Not sure it would work on the subway or NYC streets. - Transparency mode is good. This is important to me as I like to be able to keep on and hold a conversation. Feels natural and close enough to my Bose, which are very good. This is the first time a non-bose ANC transparency mode has worked well for me.......have jabra headphones and Samsung buds where transparency feels very artificial. - Wireless connection to PC dongle has been rock solid. No issues as all on this version where some other reviews noted issues for the Xbox version. - The setup is pretty easy. You do need to use the phone app, but it worked well for me. Computer could be viewed as plug and play, but worth installing the Dolby access software. If you want to make changes to sound profile on PC without your phone, you need the Dolby software. - The mic works pretty well even without a boom arm. It's certainly good enough for gaming purposes, and generally better than I expected. I would at least say that the quality is good enough that I would have no interest in a headset with a boom arm even if there were some mic quality benefits. - Mic background noise suppression surprisingly good. I have been using RTX voice to accomplish this anyway, but that is now arguably superfluous. - Handles dual wireless connections really well. - Comfortable to wear. Cons: - If you are looking for the best ANC out there, turn to Bose or Sony. The ANC feature is helpful on these and I am definitely glad to have it, but it's definitely not the best out there. I think they have leaned toward subtlety, which is the right move - limited effectiveness but it is never irritating or in the way. My Samsung Galaxy buds ANC can be really distracting, you notice it both when with ANC on and when using transparency mode. - The controls are pretty good but not necessarily intuitive out of the gate. For instance some buttons change depending on what wireless connections you have. Ultimately this benefits utility, but can be confusing upfront. - Transparency mode works differently with mic on vs mic off. It sorta intermixes ANC with sidetone functionality which is confusing. Not a big deal, but I would prefer these be separate functions. - I wish headphone makers would focus on making them less wide. I don't operate in the apple ecosystem, but airpods max look great with lower profile. These are pretty wide which hurts the aesthetics in my view (maybe cause my head more oval than round), though not much worse than Bose 700 in this regard. Of course I am also using them at home when wearing a VR headset......I already look ridiculous so no consequence to me for how I use. Also as noted above, my wife actually likes the way these look, so taste may vary. - Some of the on headset controls would benefit from voice notification rather than beeps. Sometimes hard to tell if I landed on the right setting. Bose 700 has this and it really helps.

Creo que está reseña será algo larga, pero si estás interesado en comprar estos audífonos te ayudará a decidir. Para empezar, estoy están diseñados para destacar en el caso de VIDEOJUEGOS, como se conectan directamente al XBOX la calidad de audio es una locura, los he usado para jugar Resident Evil 4 remake, y puedes escuchar cada paso, cada antorcha, cada ruido del ambiente, es una sensación de inmersión total. Esto gracias a que tiene la tecnología de DOLBY ATMOS. Antes usaba unos audífonos Sony conectados por cable al control, pero no daban la misma calidad e inmersión que estos, creo que la conexión con los protocoles de XBOX es lo que ayuda a dar ese plus. En la caja y muchas reseñas en internet dicen que los puedes usar para escuchar música ya sea comentados por cable o bluetooth pero a mí la verdad me deja un poco que desear, para empezar el volumen está algo limitado, tienes que subirle casi al máximo volumen del celular para que lo empieces a escuchar “fuerte” en otro dispositivo tal cual tuve que subir el volumen al 100% y regular con el control de volumen de los propios audífonos, si no hacía esto se hacía un ruido molesto como si el volumen de la fuente no fuera “suficiente “ En la cuestión de la calidad de audio es debatible se escuchan bien con una gran definición de los instrumentos y voz, pero su cualidad es que separan todos los sonidos, dando una sensación 3D el cantante en el centro y los diferentes instrumentos alrededor lo cual da un gran efecto, pero da la sensación que la voz del intérprete se escucha “lejos” un poco encerrada, creo que es por este efecto 3D ya lo he escuchado con otros audios y cuando se activa este efecto siento que se “aleja” la voz del cantante. Tal vez es cuestión de gustos. También si eres de los que les gusta mucho los graves y que todo retumbe, no lo vas a encontrar en estos audífonos, que ya su audio es algo natural. Nada subido de tono ni chispeante o grave. Por medio de la aplicación del celular puedes hacer algunos ajustes en agudos y graves. En conclusión: su uso en videojuegos es magnífica, con una gran calidad de sonido e inmersión. Para escuchar música son peculiares, buena calidad de sonido, con un afecto 3D en todas las canciones, se queda corto en potencia y tienes que subir mucho el volumen. Y la aislamiento de sonido ambiental es poco si los comparas con unos Sony Si los encuentras en oferta (lo más cercano a 3,000 pesos, yo los compré en 3,150) es una gran compra, si están más caros no los recomiendo.

Ich hab mir die Bang & Olufsen für die Nutzung am PC bestellt. Während ich Fotos bearbeite höre ich gern Musik im Hintergrund. Youtube oder Netflix wird ebenso gerne geschaut. Manchmal zocke ich auch verschiedenste Spiele. Für meine Ohren ist die Lautstärke mehr als in Ordnung. Ich persönlich kann die Kopfhörer nicht mal auf voller Lautstärke nutzen, da sie mir ansonsten zu laut wären. Die Soundqualität finde ich toll. Ich bin kein Profi auf diesem Gebiet, aber für mein Empfinden kommen Bässe gut durch während der Gesang nie untergeht. Instrumente höre ich gut raus. Beim Zocken höre ich bei FPS genau, wo der Gegner gerade läuft oder wo gerade Fahrzeuge herumrollen - also räumlich kann ich mich durchaus gut orientieren. Die Verbindung mit dem PC läuft via Dongle absolut stabil. Es ist zwar etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, dass man die Art der Nutzung (Gaming, Film, Musik, etc.) über die Handyapp einstellen muss, während das Medium quasi am PC läuft, aber es funktioniert. Je nach Einstellungsart ändert sich eben das Soundprofil der Kopfhörer. Die Verarbeitungsqualität lässt tatsächlich keine Wünsche offen. Ich habe eine relativ schmale Kopfform, dennoch rutschen die Kopfhörer nicht auf dem Kopf herum und sitzen derart angenehm, dass man fast vergisst sie auf dem Kopf zu haben. Derzeit habe ich sehr kurze Haare (1,5mm) - der Bügel drückt trotzdem nicht unangenehm am Kopf. Lieferung erfolgte wie so oft problemlos. Ich bin super zufrieden mit den B&O Beoplay Portal. Auch das Design sagt mir einfach zu. 5 Sterne von mir.

casse perfette

I've been a big fan of good quality headphones for most of my life to the point my wife says I've got an addiction. I had been looking into getting a pair that were Dolby Atmos compatible as there is a good selection of Atmos audio on Tidal now. These sound pretty good, great detail, clear sound and although not mega loud they are loud enough and also comfy enough for listening for long periods. I read other users comments regarding ANC and volume being too low but I think they are fine. I have a 7.1 home cinema setup in my living area and my wife was watching a movie and I could not hear any of it. Even without any sound the headphones fit well that it keeps external sound down. Usually for listening to music I use my AKG K702 on an iFi Zen DAC (sometimes Sennheiser HD650) and even though my Beoplay Portal hasn't burned in properly yet there are details on some of my favourite tracks that I haven't noticed before (non Atmos tracks) and i can see these being my new favourites. I would have preffered the Navy ones but it was going to take another week, ordered the grey (which were even cheaper) and they actually look really good (better than the image). The seller for these are Only Branded and mine came brand new and sealed. If your looking for a wired / Bluetooth / Xbox Wireless headphone for music or gaming I would say look no further, it's a good buy especially at this price

Me gusta el sonido limpio que tiene. La forma. La autonomía. Y por poner algo "negativo" que podrían haber llevado un pequeño maletín para guardar y transportar. También quizás un poquito más de potencia, digo quizás porque a lo mejor el que no oiga bien puede ser, quien sabe. Y quizás un pelor más grandes de altura ya que el lóbulo de la oreja se me queda pillado. A loejor mis orejas son más grandes de lo debido aunque no lo creo, son estándar tirando a pequeñas. Y para seguir ya que las almohadillas son muy facil desmontables, tipo bayoneta girando, que hubiese llevado otras como de tela para que no sude tanto la oreja, el poder elegir cual te pones. Otras marcas ya lo hacen eso. La conectividad es excelente, lleva un Jack de 3.5 para poder ir con cable en vez de inhalambricos pero tienes que entenderlos para que suene. Si te quedas sin batería ya no sonarán. Recomiendo su compra? Pues eso depende de cada uno. Si te gusta algo medio top son una buena opción y si los compras con promoción o descuento mejor.
