Bang and Olufsen's new headsets raising the bar for music lovers

Bang and Olufsen just revealed two stunning new headsets for discerning audiophiles. Available now, the BeoPlay H3 is an in-ear headphone that is perfect for brisk summer runs, and the BeoPlay H6, available in August 2013, is a super soft, flexible over-ear headphone that is ideal for lounging at the cottage or long-distance travelling. Both sets of headphones feature exceptional sound performance that reproduce the original sound material as authentically as possible. B&O is striving towards the delicate balance between high quality audio, comfort and portability.

Henrik Taudorf Lorensen, VP of B&O PLAY explains, “a wide range of headphones on the market today compromise on quality and sound performance. In the making of BeoPlay H3 and H6, we’ve worked with professional sound technicians and studio musicians, to offer people a pristine sound experience in a package that is a delight to wear.”

B&O PLAY has collaborated with Danish industrial designer Jakob Wagner in the shaping of BeoPlay H3 and H6. Wagner is both trained as a mechanical engineer and industrial designer which make him skilled in all practical stages of the design process. With the new headphones, B&O PLAY and Jakob Wagner has created two unique products that are designed for music, crafted with high quality materials that are durable and long-lasting.

“We have huge expectations for these premium headphones,” states Zean Nielsen, President of Bang & Olufsen America, Inc. “Our customers have been yearning for a quality alternative to the headphones that are on the market today. With H6 and H3’s arrival, we will now offer a premium headphone that delivers a best in class audio experience and authentic design that we know will resonate with our brand enthusiasts and music lovers across the country.”

The  H3 retails for $290 CDN and the H6 for $460 CDN. The H3 is available now at Bang & Olufsen stores across Canada, shopbangolufsen.com, the B&O PLAY online store (beoplay.com), Apple retail stores, and Apple Online. The H6 will be available nationwide in August 2013.
