I have the old wired version and the sound is really balanced so that you can listen for many hours. This is tempting for my daughter.

The problem with these name brands is... it takes SO long to get to market and the tecnology is changing so fast.

And then you have Chinese HEADPHONES that are using the newest technology and are selling them for like $40.00 and they sound GOOD (probably the same as these).

I recently purchased
TaoTronics ANC Wireless Headphones Bluetooth 5.0 Active Noise Cancelling Headset 40 Hours Playtime Hi-Fi Audio Sound CVC 8.0 Mic Type-C Fast Charging for Travel, Home Office and I think they are GREAT.

I would not be suprised if the Tao Tronics sound better (but I can not verify) but the Tao have 40 hour playtime and the Bang and Olufsen have 19 hours, the Tao uses bluetooth 5.0 and the B&O use 4.2. Do I need to say more.

I had a pair of Tao and the sound wasn't great, build quality wasn't good, and they didn't last. I only tried one so I really can't say much for the brand, but I have felt the same way about many of the cheap brands. I always thought of them as "I can make do until I can afford better". Bluetooth 5 and longer battery life are secondary to me to sound, comfort, and relaibility.

I've owned prob 30+ pairs of stereo BT headphones in the last 10yrs. Don't be fooled by the specs on the Chinese makers,there's always a trade-off. On paper, the features sounds great, but implementation usually isn't great. Sound quality is okay even on the popular Chinese ones until you try it back to back with a decent name-brand one same song, similar volume, several times. That said, headset maker brands are good too like Jabra. Wondering if this is legit B&O or using name to out-source to a Chinese maker. Also,how much better over my cheap(er) CH700 (bought wife CH900).

I agree... sound, comfort and reliability. It does not sound like you tried on the model I described. My last set were JBL 750nc (retailed for $350)... which gave me issues from DAY ONE.... spending more does not mean better quality.

I have not had one single issue with them and I think they sound AMAZING... just as good as my JBL's without the issues.

Outsource Chines Maker???? That is how ALL the headphones are made... hell, that is how AMD makes their CPUs and GPUs. That is how Apple makes their iphones. Who cares if it is outsourced Chinese makers???

This a legit seller?

I've bought other things from the site like sunglasses and purse and they seem legit to me. So I'm in for one and purple is my fav color anyways.

Weird, I feel like this is the first time something marketed toward woman that I actually am falling for. The color really appeals to me and I hate girly colors. I think it just works with the overall design. If I wasn't looking for a headset I might have gotten this. Not being noise canceling probably was really the deciding factor.

No noise cancelling.

Still stellar performance on airplanes... Not that that's an issue anymore.

Bought these in green for $300 in 2018 and have been rocking them ever since. Personally I love how they sound! Sound signature may not be for everyone but at $100, these are an absolute steal. Tempted to buy this again even tho I don't like the color...

You are 100% on the money. Modern music makes these perfect. As well as a full day fit. May not be for the classical folks though.
