Beoplay Eleven are Bang & Olufsen’s most expensive earbuds at $500
High-end audio brand Bang & Olufsen just launched their latest flagship earbuds. Beoplay Eleven are the successor to the Beoplay EX.
After launching their most expensive pair of wireless headphones in September – the Beoplay H100 for $1,549, luxury consumer electronics company Bang & Olufsen are back with their most expensive pair of true wireless earbuds – Beoplay Eleven.
Beoplay EX revolutionised our wireless earphone category with its superior sound and cutting-edge design. With the new Beoplay Eleven, Bang & Olufsen has elevated its ambitions once again. The new Beoplay Eleven delivers even better sound quality thanks to transformative ANC and Transparency that embodies our innovation capabilities, and we cannot wait to bring them to our customers.

The Beoplay Eleven follow the same design as the Beoplay EX. Inspired by the Beoplay H100 headphones, the Beoplay Eleven are available in Natural Aluminium and Copper Tone colors, with the latter available December 17. The earbuds feature an aluminium finish with hardened glass accents on the touch surface. The earbuds are complimented by the pearl-blasted aluminium case.
The earbuds come with four sizes of silicone tips and one medium Comply foam tip. The tips mould to your unique ear shape to provide a stable and comfortable fit. The AirPods-like stem-design places the microphone outside of your ear for clear calls and accurate ANC. On the inside, there are the same 9.2mm neodymium driver in each earbud.
Bang & Olufsen are claiming improved noise cancellation that is 2x better than the Beoplay EX. Improvements extend to Transparency Mode, which is 1.8x better than the previous model. You can switch modes with a tap. There’s also clearer call quality thanks to six updated microphones and a larger microphone inlet with fine mesh padding to reduce noise. Wind reduction can be enhanced with the Wind Guard feature in the Bang & Olufsen app.
Beoplay Eleven support Bluetooth 5.2, multipoint connectivity, Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair. To customize the sound, find the presets or fully customize the EQ in the app.
The batteries are replaceable by service to comply with the European’s 2027 requirements for sustainability. Despite this, the earbuds themselves are IP57 dust and waterproof rated.
On the topic of battery, the earbuds are good for 6 hours on a single charge with ANC turned on. Turn ANC off for 8 hours of playback. Include the case and you’ll get 20 hours of total listening time or 28 hours with ANC turned off. The earbuds support charging via USB-C or Qi wireless charging. A USB-C to USB-C cable is included in the box.
The Beoplay Eleven are available to order today from Bang & Olufsen for $499. The older Beoplay EX, featuring the same design, are currently on sale for Black Friday on Amazon for $279.
