These are $500 Xbox Headphones - Bang & Olufsen Xbox Portal 

Finally I can hear kids insult my mom in crystal clear high quality audio

When your headphones cost more than the console

rule number one when reviewing a product with a mic give us a sample of the audio!

always warms my heart when linus is lovey-dovey with Yvonne lol

Sennheiser be like "sheeet we seriously under valuing our products let's whack another $300 on top of the whole range"

This is why the beats came with built in weights so you guys can feel the premium heft to them

Considering how good your audio usually is, its super surprising when you get echo audio on an ltt video, not a big deal tho, and hell you guys helped me figure out how to make non garbage audio, so I cant complain really...

B&O is such an og brand. I currently use a pair of beovox 3800's from 1974. Still sound great!

Just picked up 2 B&O speakers from the 70s, still way better than even most modern speakers

Audio sounds like making a cellphone call in my tub for some reason?

The audio in recent videos from the new Shortcircuit set sound "off" somehow. Anyone else notice?

I've had this headset now for 3 weeks, here are my impressions compared to other gaming headsets I own and other high-end headsets that I own. For reference I own other high-end gaming headsets like the asteroid 50s, Lucid sound ls50s, etc. But I also own several high-end reference headphones including reference grados, sennheisers, and AKG K812s. The long and short of it is that these are the clearest sounding headphones you can possibly use for gaming by a long mile, anybody that says different is either hard of hearing or has an agenda and is lying. I'd say the audio quality on these rivals some of my wired cans. They're not the loudest, the Lucid sound headphones are easily doubly as loud but the lucids are nowhere near as clear, even though they're very good and acceptable to most people. The bang and olafson's also don't let you use Bluetooth and game audio at the same time which some might find unacceptable at this price point. When listening to music and using the B&O app you can really cater the sound to your liking and the sound stage is pretty good, not as good as something like open back grados but astonishingly good considering the size of the air cup and that they're closed off system. The B&O app works really well for gaming as well letting you cater the sound exactly the way you want it, this is where this headphone shines versus other options. The only other headphone that I can think of that rivals it somewhat is the Astro a50s and their PC based app. The Dolby Atmos integration with the B &Os is fantastic. An example, on checkmate in call of duty Cold war when I'm at point alpha I can literally hear people shuffling around inside the fuselage at point bravo! From a gaming standpoint this is astonishing, the clarity and directionality of the sound is pretty crazy. My scores have jumped up easily from 5 to 10 kills per game just because I can literally hear exactly where people are coming from. For single player gaming the headphones are fantastic, their clarity ability to not distort and directionality just bring you more into the game world. At $500 it was a tough pill to swallow, but after spending almost a month now with the headphones and then going back and forth between my entire collection I can easily say that they're worth every penny. Your mileage may vary of course depending on your economic situation. The headphones come with a version of the Dolby Atmos app specifically for these headphones and it's amazing. The way you can cater the sound, the chat versus game mix, and the pitch of each channel is fantastic. I found that even setting them on the console to movie it actually increases the volume. Remember that when you get the headphones you should download the B&O app, download the Dolby Atmos app on your Xbox, and then go into the Dolby Atmos app and set it to game. This will give you the best directionality but I found that if you said it to movie you still get pretty good directionality and it increases the volume of the headphone at least 10 decibels. The one big drawback that I saw with these headphones in my opinion is the lack of a boom mic. Even though your friends will be able to hear you just fine, you won't be able to hear yourself as clearly as if you had a boom mic, that's just a fact. You'll get used to it but anybody telling you it's just as good as a boom mic is lying, for instance the boom mic on my Lucid sounds is vastly superior. But even with this caveat they are amazing. Highly recommended. FYI, Linus is kind of a dipshit, it's understandable since his channel is so big now and there's so much free shit coming in that he doesn't have time to give everything a proper review. The Dolby Atmos app comes with the headphones you do not have to pay for it! Also the directionality of the headphones is outstanding the clarity is amazing, especially compared to other gaming headphones. Each game will obviously have their own sound engine, but the processing going on with the Dolby Atmos for headphones app and the directionality you can hear especially in games like call of duty will improve your scores, that's just the fact. If you want to watch an accurate review of these headphones and not linuses bullshit take that he can fit in between all the time he's counting his sweet sweet RU-vid revenue watch this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ri-I7y7DfUk.html They're easily five times better than the Xbox cans, which sound like you're listening to audio with cotton stuffed in your ears and then wax over the cotton.

I know the ShortCircuit set is supposed to be the Drag And Drop video location but can we put some time into improving the mic quality? Meant to be constructive, i promise.

i came here afer watching ltt and daaamn there is such a big audio diffrence i never noticed that

please do more bang & olufsen reviews!

More Bang & Olufsen Hi-Fi products please!!

I've got the H9i and they're totally worth it.

I've used a pair of beoplay h8's and the sound is great, one of the best headphones I've ever used.

We can't hear the quality of the headphones in a video - that's okay, but could you pleeeaaase provide us some voice recordings from the inbuilt microphones? Especially when you're praising their good mic quality, I think it's a shame to not let us hear them. It lets me think, that they actually don't sound that good as you told me in the video. Looking forward to an improvement on this topic in upcoming videos! Thanks ☺

My local B&O store is rushing to sell these things... I picked one up for 140EUR and love it!

I'm thankful that Linus actually acknowledges ANC pressure and discomfort. I wish he would take PWM backlights as seriously, because it causes a similar discomfort.

I’ve been wanting b&o on ltt for so long, finally, now let’s see more of it!

I would love to see a full comparison between these, the Steelseries Arctis pro wireless, and the Astro A50, and other wireless headphones

4:58 ayyy got em

Can't wait to see those headphones in one your employee's desk when you do a PC makeover.

I know this was a couple of years ago but just to explain the weight, they're using neodymium drivers which is new speaker technology that doesn't require a heavy magnet but has no quality loss. It's been used in pro mics and high end guitar cabinets for a while now!

That headband padding is really clever, at least in theory, why don’t more headphones do that? The point of discomfort on every pair I’ve ever had has been right on top of the head. It’s why I loved the pair I had with those spring loaded side pads. They didn’t put all the pressure on the top of my head and were comfortable no matter how long I had them on.

I bought it today for roughly 200 usd equivalent in my country :)

Owning a H9i myself, confort has never been a problem for me. Even hours and hours on end listening are fine. ANC is a bit noisy but also good. Not as good as Bose. Edit: the sound is much nicer than Bose or Sony.

I'm so glad other people said something about the audio. I thought it was something I did.

Does anyone noticed a sound quality is a bit off in that video? or is it just 4 me? it sounds like in distant tube

The fact that a lot of people here don’t understand who Bang & Olufsen is and why they’re expensive pains me greatly. Good sound costs money. Period.

what's up with the audio lately you guy's aren't wearing mics anymore?

B&O Makes alot of high quality products they are great :)

That’s a bit of an XTreme price if you ask me

very old video, but in interface - human interaction, you ALWAYS want double, or triple taps. You never ever want single taps (or anything) since that would trigger a lot of false commands. If you ever need to communicate with blinks, never assign a single blink a code, that would be a mess (same concept)

What I will say about these headphones is I can hear footsteps better than ever before, that’s all that matters

I use the beoplay H9i but B&O are quality over price

For whatever it is worth, that divot in the headband is intended to remove the pressure point a lot of people experience on their crown.

This is the ONLY Linus channel I'm subscribed to.

You need to try the Beoplay H95s, Linus!

Guys: *sitting there saying nothing* Linus: "even with the ANC at 50%, I can't hear anything you guys are saying"

Part of what would make these sound better is if they were an open back design, which provides a much better sound stage. I play in a relatively quiet environment so I don't have to use a closed back, let alone noise cancelation.

Linus: "I prefer more of an oval ear cup than a more traditional round one. Corsair Void's: *Start going through depression.

For what it's worth, veal is more of a process. You keep the calf from moving around; often times, people outright hobble them. They're then fed a diet heavy on cream, so as to fatten them up in a particular way. So, uh, yeah.

6:10 "Get a habit of grabbing the cups" that's what she said 😂😂😂

Linus saying "ok cool so" triggered all Google devices in my house. This confused me so much lolol

He should buy B&O H95 the sound quality is amazing.

$500 for these headphones is a total scam. Mic is garbage, they look cheap they don’t look like a $500 pair of headphones, and you can’t even use bluetooth at the same time as gaming, so its restricted to just one audio source at one time unlike my $200 arctis9x which can have up to 3 audio sources playing at the same time. Also they are not even comfortable for wearing for extended periods of time. The audio quality is good just not $500 good. This should be priced somewhere between $250-$300.

Actually about the weight, nope heavier doesn’t always mean better, I have a pair of Shure openback headphones, they are pretty light, they’re not monitoring headphones either, pretty amazing sounding headphones

Good video guys! Btw, Linus' voice sounded kinda far from the mic!

Why on earth would anyone want heavy headphones. The reason they are so light is the incredible engineering that went into these things. Crazy!

I wish yall reviewed how these work using the Xbox dingle on PC. I'm most intrigued by that option as it has lower latency to most Bluetooth codecs. Also better audio quality while using microphone

It would have been cool testing them with music or movies, mainly because if spednding such money, some people might want them as a jack for all trades

Is the sound of this video only for me a Bit weird?

I've been using the Beoplay hi9 and it is the best headset I've tried except for the senheiner HE-1

The audio in the video doesn’t sound great. Not talking about the headphones

Isnt it great to watch linus tech tips without a SEGWAY TO OUR SPONSER!

Not sure why he said the app costs money, it was free for me on iOS. Also, I have these headphones and I'm loving them.

You should try Dolby Atmos with Call of Duty. Really shines when you’re in a multi-floor building. You can actually tell that the person is above or below you. Truly amazing.

Love that they went from vegan leather to baby animal skin so quickly

should probably mention you can't even use Bluetooth at the same time. cancelled my order for them and got a set of Audeze Penrose instead, no regrets.

I just wish more and more people deserve this kind of rich vocal quality. 😇

Since you mentioned the Pandas, the Audeze Penrose headset for Xbox might be the sweet spot since they are also planar and they cost less than the B&O headphones.

Hey i wondered why dont you guys have a video about headphones and separate microphones. I was buying a new headphone a little while ago and would've loved to see a comparison of some headphones instead of Headsets, because it feels like im overpaying if i already have a stand alone mic or am planing to buy one anyway.

My parents still have their 1987 CRT Bang&Olufsen. I saw StarWars IV on it back in the 90s. The visuals didn't make me a StarWars fan, the audio on volume 35 did 😁

Me who's using 600 ohm dt880's: Why am I watching this?

Linus own one of the biggest media channels and still using a 3 year old samsung note 9, RESPECT

I just wish LMG when they review microphone products would actually give us samples of how the mics work.

veal is the meat, calf is the animal. it comes from a class thing way back, like we don't call beef cow or pork pig for the same reasons.

A Turtle approves of this informational video

How can you test 500$ Headphones and not talk about the audio quality listening to music???? The main point of these is that they're one pair for everything: gaming, home theater, music and travelling.

5:49 awwww

got so serious by the "and more", seemed like it came straight from the heart (:

For an accurate review Linus should have give those 2 headset to his kids and let them use it for 6 month and see which one is braking first..

I love the portals Go from gaming to the store without taking them off. One touch to phone and Xbox

love your channel, much love

Linus’ voice is like ASMR to me at this point.

Why call Yvonne instead of simply record a 10s audio and play it so we can take our conclusions?

Audeze mobius would blow your mind with 3d sound

when a $500 headset needs a paid app. even if it isnt their fault.

Linus: "Hey everybody! How do you like my beef-skin shoes? I had the best sleep last night with my poultry-feather pillow!"

does the microphone used to actually record the video sound off to anyone?

Love B&O. Their cans usually leave a lot to be desired. My profile is B&O...

Awwww the audio still hasn’t been fixed.

the new set looks great but i can't help but feel like audio quality has gone down a bit, there's a bit of reverb

Seems like you could've used the headset mic for this whole review too lul

Cant praise the steelseries arctics 9x. As an xbox player they pair so easily and have stellar performance

Also, WTF BABY ANIMAL SKIN REALLY

These are great. Wish they were louder but with the noise canceling it isn’t necessary. Everything comes though crystal clear in gaming and destroys any gaming headset for music.

Imagine buying any gaming headset above $300 when the Audeze Penrose exists

I'm an audio producer and swear by the old beoplay H6 headphones

You could get some HiFiMan Sundara and a wireless adapter for $100 less.

Yvonne seems practical and sensible, it kind of boggles my mind that she's married to Mr. Overkill Linus.

I'd rather die than pay for an app to change settings on my $500 headset.

Thank you kind sir for showing me the premium gamer equipment !

Little late to the party but thinking of pairing these with with a SteelSeries GameDac2. Between these and the kraken v3 with hyper sense

Didn’t really expect much from wireless headphones.. Always a big red flag to me

could Linus ONCE, JUST ONCE, play the damn Forza intro WITHOUT smashing into a tree or going off-road in the senna? Am I asking for too much guys?
