Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal Wireless ANC Headphones (Factory Reconditioned) (Open Box)

Oh I was a little skeptical of this headset. Mainly because of the price point. I was very lucky and actually got them on sale for about $300 rather than the hefty price tag of 500+ tax. I wanted to have a reason to return them, but I wanted to try them as well. Comfort wise this headset is so light and the earmuffs feel so comfortable there’s not too much pressure on anything. I love the low profile and simple look. I was used to using Astro a 40s for gaming and those things have big bulky ears they’re heavy and clunky and there’s no noise canceling. this headset was knight and day for me. I mainly use it for gaming and listening to music. And it is amazing on both sides. The directional audio is just perfect for any of my FPS games that heavily rely on sound. And music is like listening to songs that I’ve been listening to my whole life for the first time. I hear all these little things that normally you wouldn’t even have any idea that they are there. Little random guitar, licks, or ambient sound effects, it is added a whole new layer to the music that I listen to. As for the “virtual boom mic“ that is also a great selling point. I don’t actually use the virtual boom mic for when I’m gaming and talking to friends through discord and what not, but for phone calls and talk to text stuff while I’m gaming is amazing. I love being able to have my phone and my computer hooked up to the headset at the same time. It’s so convenient to be gaming and to be like, “oh, I need to send a text“ and just say hey Siri send text message and just speak it out and say send. The battery life is amazing, on the weekends, I game at least one day for almost the entire day, I will turn that headset on at nine in the morning and it will still be going strong at 40% battery by 10 or 11 at night when I’m about to get off. The noise canceling works well also, and I really put it to the test because where I sit to game is about 4 feet from the laundry area in my home. There is no solid door. It is a pair of by folding doors with wooden slats, so there really is no sound dampening from the wooden doors themselves. But with the laundry going washer and dryer at the same time, yes, I can hear the washer and dryer going but it’s almost like it becomes white noise. When I take the headset off and put it back on when the washer and dryer are going it’s insane the difference . And if I’m playing a game, it’s almost unnoticeable. My only con with this product and it’s not really a huge con, sometimes when moving around you will hear this very light metal clink noise good and it’s something in the headset but I’m not sure what it is. I will stress though it is very minor and I only notice it if there’s absolutely no sound going through the headset at the time so while I’m waiting for a game to start up in the music not playing or there’s a quiet moment on the phone is when you might hear it. I would honestly recommend this to anybody, but I would probably wait for a sale because $500 is a bit much in my opinion. Not to say it’s not worth it but that’s just a lot of money for people who work average jobs and don’t have the best pay.
