Beoplay Portal

Updated review: Originally I wrote a very negative review because my initial experience was very frustrating. But I've been alternating between these B&O and my Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 (2nd gen px7). I have also had theSony WH-1000XM5, and previously the Bose 700. And I have to say I enjoy the B&O the most. So I'm comparing against those three. The B&O sound the "best". That is, I enjoy music the most on them. I don't know if it's because the of how much you can find tune the sound in the app. It has a nice intuitive circular slider adjust sound and save presets. It's the first time I've ever actually enabled and used an equalizer and found it did anything positive. The app is fantastic imo. Compared to the others. When I bought the beoplay portal 6 months ago, the app was a little buggy. And I thought it was ridiculous headphone manufacturers are doing apps at all. But I get it now. And the B&O is the only one that has a decent app. Effective layout without ads or upsells, and useful features. They fit great. The perfectly round ear cups are all odd at first, but it works. Not sure if big eared people would have issues since headphones are usually more elongated. My ears pretty average size. It was kind of annoying they did not come with a case though. But since I alternate between my desk and Xbox, I haven't had a need. Kind of regret spending money on a third-party case. XBOX. One of the big draws for me was to the idea I could easily go back and forth between my desk and Xbox at a touch of a button. It was kind of a pain to get both my phone and Xbox paired. Pro-top, don't use the app. Just enable pairing on Xbox, power on your headphones, and press the Xbox button (very happy they have a dedicated button). So when I'm going to play Xbox, I just turn on headphones, and press the Xbox button on them. It turns on the Xbox which then turns everything else on. Fantastic. The quality has some issues.... They were bad at first. So bad I really didnt use them for Xbox for a long time. Bad defined as audio glitches and dropouts. Nowadays however, its much more stabe- not perfect - but I frequently play glitch/artifact free. The actual sound quality is definitely flatter/compressed compared to my phone. Idk why but for some reason I assumed Xboxs proprietary wireless would be awesome. The convenience and functionality is fantastic for me though and outweighs those things. I still often think about just getting a Bluetooth transmitter for my reciever to enjoy better quality, but really would hate to bounce around like that. So. All that said. Very happy with them, even with Xbox issues. They beat out my B&W px7 s2, and Sony XM5(returned the Sony's terribly underwhelming and cheap feeling).

Let’s start with how light weight these puppies are. I’ve had so many over the ear headphones over the years and every single one of them always has this extra weight that is noticeable when you put them on. Of course the reasons for this are understandable but when you put THESE on? It’s almost like wearing a pair of air pods or skull candies. I had some concerns with the shape of the ear cups being circular vs more oblong like the shape of your ears but for me? They are super comfy. The seal the create is also perfect which matters when it comes to the ANC (active noise cancellation). The material quality is also pristine. No cheap plastics in important or high use places like some other headphones and headsets which means these were built with longevity in mind; big plus for me because I’m cheap and I HATE spending money on things that break or wear out too quickly. The sound quality is great! I did have to go on the app to get the loudness and depth I was personally looking for and, being a musician, my ear drums probably need a little more banging than the average person but I was able to adjust them perfectly and am super pleased with the end result. I like the app too because it has a very intuitive feel and makes it easy to adjust anything I want super conveniently and quickly. My favorite part about these? NO DONGLE! Too many times I’ve had a dongle break or just stop working and it completely ruins all the features you can enjoy with your headset because now you out can only plug them in to your controller or other device and at that point what’s the point of having wireless headphones with Touch Bar adjusters, ANC, etc.? No dongle means one less headache for me. I would say overall these are the best headphones/headset I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning and HIGHLY recommend them for any next gen owner. One side note: I originally didn’t get these because on the Xbox store they are still selling them for $400+! But I got these here for $200 and for that price!? Best in class and market, hands down.

Creo que está reseña será algo larga, pero si estás interesado en comprar estos audífonos te ayudará a decidir. Para empezar, estoy están diseñados para destacar en el caso de VIDEOJUEGOS, como se conectan directamente al XBOX la calidad de audio es una locura, los he usado para jugar Resident Evil 4 remake, y puedes escuchar cada paso, cada antorcha, cada ruido del ambiente, es una sensación de inmersión total. Esto gracias a que tiene la tecnología de DOLBY ATMOS. Antes usaba unos audífonos Sony conectados por cable al control, pero no daban la misma calidad e inmersión que estos, creo que la conexión con los protocoles de XBOX es lo que ayuda a dar ese plus. En la caja y muchas reseñas en internet dicen que los puedes usar para escuchar música ya sea comentados por cable o bluetooth pero a mí la verdad me deja un poco que desear, para empezar el volumen está algo limitado, tienes que subirle casi al máximo volumen del celular para que lo empieces a escuchar “fuerte” en otro dispositivo tal cual tuve que subir el volumen al 100% y regular con el control de volumen de los propios audífonos, si no hacía esto se hacía un ruido molesto como si el volumen de la fuente no fuera “suficiente “ En la cuestión de la calidad de audio es debatible se escuchan bien con una gran definición de los instrumentos y voz, pero su cualidad es que separan todos los sonidos, dando una sensación 3D el cantante en el centro y los diferentes instrumentos alrededor lo cual da un gran efecto, pero da la sensación que la voz del intérprete se escucha “lejos” un poco encerrada, creo que es por este efecto 3D ya lo he escuchado con otros audios y cuando se activa este efecto siento que se “aleja” la voz del cantante. Tal vez es cuestión de gustos. También si eres de los que les gusta mucho los graves y que todo retumbe, no lo vas a encontrar en estos audífonos, que ya su audio es algo natural. Nada subido de tono ni chispeante o grave. Por medio de la aplicación del celular puedes hacer algunos ajustes en agudos y graves. En conclusión: su uso en videojuegos es magnífica, con una gran calidad de sonido e inmersión. Para escuchar música son peculiares, buena calidad de sonido, con un afecto 3D en todas las canciones, se queda corto en potencia y tienes que subir mucho el volumen. Y la aislamiento de sonido ambiental es poco si los comparas con unos Sony Si los encuentras en oferta (lo más cercano a 3,000 pesos, yo los compré en 3,150) es una gran compra, si están más caros no los recomiendo.

Ufff unos cascos increíbles,la calidad de sonido es buenísima (si lo tienes directo con el cable Jack), por Bluetooth también suena genial ,el color es precioso ,el precio uff vale cada euro pagado lo recomiendo . Espero le haya servido el comentario.

I've been a big fan of good quality headphones for most of my life to the point my wife says I've got an addiction. I had been looking into getting a pair that were Dolby Atmos compatible as there is a good selection of Atmos audio on Tidal now. These sound pretty good, great detail, clear sound and although not mega loud they are loud enough and also comfy enough for listening for long periods. I read other users comments regarding ANC and volume being too low but I think they are fine. I have a 7.1 home cinema setup in my living area and my wife was watching a movie and I could not hear any of it. Even without any sound the headphones fit well that it keeps external sound down. Usually for listening to music I use my AKG K702 on an iFi Zen DAC (sometimes Sennheiser HD650) and even though my Beoplay Portal hasn't burned in properly yet there are details on some of my favourite tracks that I haven't noticed before (non Atmos tracks) and i can see these being my new favourites. I would have preffered the Navy ones but it was going to take another week, ordered the grey (which were even cheaper) and they actually look really good (better than the image). The seller for these are Only Branded and mine came brand new and sealed. If your looking for a wired / Bluetooth / Xbox Wireless headphone for music or gaming I would say look no further, it's a good buy especially at this price

Le Portal sono cuffie Premium, purtroppo non comprese da molti. Il prezzo, non basso, è giustificato da una serie di fattori che l’utente medio spesso non considera. Si tratta di cuffie Over-Ear che fondono una serie di caratteristiche che è difficile trovare tutte insieme in altri prodotti. Mi vengo a spiegare: - Qualità Audio: Le cuffie si comportano egregiamente, sia in connessione con Xbox che tramite Bluetooth. Il Lag è praticamente assente e i suoni si percepiscono sempre chiari e cristallini. Molti criticano la resa dei bassi ma la realtà è che le Portal offrono dei bassi “giusti”; ovvero dei bassi equilibrati e che non distorcono la scena del suono. In altre cuffie da Gaming vengono pompati i Bassi tanto da sporcare completamente i toni e purtroppo molti gamers non se ne rendono conto. - Qualità costruttiva: Le cuffie sono composte in maniera curata e precisa. I materiali sono sicuramente premium e permettono una manutenzione autonoma nel tempo grazie anche alla possibilità di sostituire i padiglioni in caso di degrado. - Qualità del Design: Un prodotto del genere va valutato anche per il Design che possiede, quindi anche per il progetto che c’è dietro. Giudicare il prezzo come eccessivo significa fermarsi a pensare alla cuffia come oggetto comune, quando in questo caso si tratta, in realtà, di un oggetto estetico e comunicativo. Queste cuffie hanno un linguaggio, una personalità, uno stile; fattori assenti in molti alti prodotti da Gaming. -Qualità delle funzioni: Le Portal possiedono tante caratteristiche importanti; Sono Wifi Direct con Xbox, ovvero si connettono senza accessori aggiuntivi, proprio come fanno i controller; Sono Bluetooth, quindi possono essere usate anche con smartphone e Pc (E sono le uniche che, se accese per utilizzarle in BT non accendono automaticamente la Xbox, eliminando il fastidio di doverla rispegnere manualmente); Hanno l’ANC, ovvero l’eliminazione attiva del rumore esterno, regolabile dalla App dedicata; Supportano il Dolby Atmos, ovvero una codifica audio presente sui dispositivi di ultima generazione e in grado di offrire degli effetti surround di alta qualità; Sono accompagnate da App per iOS e Android, utile per gestire completamente le varie funzioni delle cuffie. In definitiva a mio avviso sono cuffie che meritano di essere acquistate, o almeno provate per bene. Se può esservi utile ho reputato le Portal nel loro complesso di funzioni e qualità migliori rispetto ad altre cuffie da Gaming Xbox che ho testato, ovvero le seguenti: - Astro A50 - Razer Kaira Pro - Razer Nari Ultimate - Microsoft Official Headset - Corsair HS75 X - Arctis 9X

This headphone is very soft sound and comfortable to wear. I feel it sound better than Sony WH-1000XM4
