According to our headphones expert
The Beoplay H9i is the most luxurious headphones from Bang & Olufsen. You connect the H9i via Bluetooth to your phone or tablet to listen to music wirelessly. With the touchscreen on the right ear cup, you can control the music and the volume. The noise-canceling muffles ambient noise and white noise. You can also regulate the strength of the noise canceling with a touch on the ear cup. When you want to pause the music, you put the headphones down. At that moment, the music stops automatically. The headphones are made of aluminum and have a leather headband and ear cushions.

Let me start with some negative aspects or any areas for improvement after that I will list the positive things.
The proximity sensors do not work optimally, occasionally the headphones pause while they are still on my ears. Fortunately, you can also disable this feature.
If you have long hair, it is advisable to be careful when taking off the headphones. Sometimes long hair (if you have it down) can get snagged.
The headphones are a bit pricey and a bit more expensive than other headphones, but the difference can certainly be heard in the sound and it can be seen and felt in the materials that are used.
Personally, I use these headphones with music streaming applications at home and on the go.
Sound quality is just top, everything sounds very clear and there seems to be no cheating with bass amplification and the like. I had a strong suspicion of that with other headphones.
The touch controls work very well and are very intuitive to use, useful for when you don't feel like taking your phone out of your pocket. The Beoplay app from b&o has a certain number of mood functions that function as a kind of equalizer and that works fine.
The noise canceling is sufficient, it won't filter out everything, but still quite a lot. It doesn't filter so much that it interferes with sound quality.
The transparency mode is really great, with 1 swipe up on the right ear you can put your headphones on and hear all your ambient noise as if you were not wearing headphones. As soon as you swipe up again, the music starts where you left off and the ambient noise is muted again.
All in all, a very good pair of headphones that I would recommend to anyone!

Like you may have read many reviews about this. Not only the reviews made by 'paid customers' but real reviews. All praise the sound and the spectrum of the sound.
Yes, I bought the B&o H9i at Coolblue because they don't bother if a product is disappointing and you have to return it. That is a very important point for me, because...
But now about the B&o H9i.
The feeling of listening to a song you've heard 100 times and suddenly discovering that "this" and.. "huh, and this" is suddenly in your familiar song. You're just walking down the street with a filthy smile on your face Sounds that I either can't remember or never heard in that song you know so well How can that be, do you think What an incredible experience that is That for me is a sign of absolute quality when you talk about streaming and bluetooth bass is good and not overpowering mids very clear and trebles great just makes me happy every time i put it on and listen.
The H9i fits like a glove on your head, and the ear cushions - just ridiculously soft and so nice. The touch controls are equally difficult to understand but it works. The noise canceling works great. A telephone call is very good and you are apparently very easy to understand. Charging is via USB C and this is a very pleasant part for me.
Look no further, just buy the Bang & Olufsen H9i - you certainly won't regret it. And no, I'm not normally the type to get reviews about disk everywhere, but this one is an exception. Very well.

I've had these headphones for two weeks now. Before this I was the satisfied owner of the Sony WH1000XM2, I just needed something new. Purely based on reviews on these headphones.
In the beginning I wasn't sure whether these headphones are better than the Sony or just different. After 2 weeks of intensive listening, I am sure that the B&O is not only different but also better. The wearing comfort takes some getting used to because the materials of the B&O are a lot sturdier and heavier than the Sony, but you get used to it now. In terms of sound, the B&O class is better than the Sony. The Sony has an exaggerated bass, which is nice with EDM music but dulls regular rock or pop music. The B&O is so crystal clear that every sound can be felt throughout your body and everything can be heard in great detail. The noise canceling and battery is a bit better on the Sony but I buy headphones for the sound and based on that the B&O is the best in its class.
