Bang & Olufsen makes some of the best high-end audio products money can buy, and its new Beo Grace earbuds have a price that reflects the quality. At $1,500, they’re more expensive than a 512GB iPhone 17 Pro Max. You could also buy six pairs of $249 AirPods Pro 3.
B&O is focusing on premium design for its Beo Grace, calling them “a study in wearable sculpture.” The brand’s press release also says they’re inspired by “the elegance of fine jewelry.” These still look like earbuds with a stem, but this time B&O is using a polished aluminum design, with the charging case featuring pearl-blasted aluminum.
The company claims they offer “unrivaled” audio with 12mm titanium drivers handling the hard work alongside a new acoustic architecture. A lot of the tech here is inspired by the brand’s Beoplay H100 over-ear headphones.
There are major improvements to the active noise cancellation tech as it’s four times more effective than its previous earbuds. There’s also Spatial Audio features optimized for Dolby Atmos as well as upgrades to the transparency mode and the physical controls.

However, battery life estimates are middling at around 4.5 hours of play with ANC turned on. The charging case gives you an extra 12.5 hours on top. For example, Nothing’s new Ear 3 headphones last for 38 hours when using the charging case, but that’s with ANC turned off.
Fast-charging appears to be impressive on the Beo Grace with a five-minute charge allowing for around 2.5 hours of playback.

The brand also says the battery should allow for a longer life than other headphones with internal testing suggesting they continue to perform well even after 2,000 recharges. Even if you’re recharging these as regularly as once every two days, that would mean the battery would last for 10 years.
Unlike most other tech products, B&O also offers a three-year warranty for the headphones so you can contact them if you have any issues.
You’ve got to wait a little while for these as they won’t be out until Nov. 17. There’s also a bespoke leather pouch to fit around the charging case, but it’s an extra $400. The pouch comes in three colors: Black, Cranberry Red, or Seashell Grey.
