Everything you need to know about the B&O PLAY by Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H5 Wireless Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones  

Okay, so let's start with the most important thing – the audio. These headphones deliver an exceptional listening experience whatever your taste in music may be, with a frequency range of 20 to 20,000Hz. The crystal clear sound is only optimised by the ability to customise the headphones to your listening preferences through seven different ear tips including standard silicone ones or specially designed sport tips which protect from sweat. This not only improves sound quality but maximised comfort – something commuters and runners alike will be pleased to hear – but you’ll also be able to download the corresponding Beoplay app to further customise your listening experience.
