Keep in mind when the primary Apple AirPods hit the market and their preliminary restricted availability generated a lot envy that they grew to become a typical goal for theft? House owners would even ensure that to cover their white earplugs from view lest somebody snatch them proper from below their ears. Happily, the exclusivity issue has gone up a number of notches in the present day, with many equal – if not sonically superior – choices obtainable within the wi-fi earphone class. It makes Bang & Olufsens Beoplay EX Atelier Editions an attention-grabbing proposition, one which purposefully stands out from the crowded discipline – and the usual wi-fi Beoplay EX earbuds it is primarily based on – with a terribly restricted, terribly putting customized design with a price ticket to match.

So what does it value to indulge within the luxurious of being seen? Apparently $699. For comparability, the usual Beoplay EX wi-fi earbuds provided in 4 colorways of pink, black, gold and anthracite value $399.

That further $300 brings in an “extremely uncommon” lime inexperienced colorway, a retina-burning hue that adorns the perimeters of every earbud alongside your entire exterior charging carrying case. It is fairly nice, like a bit of yuzu that you could open and put within the ears. Oddly sufficient, the Danish craft audio model hasn’t offered precise numbers that outline the extent of exclusivity related to the Atelier Editions title. As an alternative, Bang & Olufsen notes that that is simply the primary drop of numerous restricted colorways. So that you could be 1 out of 100… or 1 out of 5,000. To be decided.

In any other case, the earbuds retain the options and efficiency of an already glorious Beoplay EX wi-fi earbud expertise, with its elegant fusion of aluminium, polymer and silicone – the work of Thomas Bentzen – with lively noise cancellation, wi-fi charging and as much as 20 hours of wi-fi listening through Bluetooth 5.2.

Bang & Olufsen will settle for reservations for the subsequent 13 days earlier than closing the charging case till the subsequent Atelier Version is introduced.
