Somehow, Bang & Olufsen’s Beo Grace escaped our attention when it debuted. The Danish audio house has now offered a shiny reminder by dressing its flagship earbuds in Honey Tone, a warm metallic finish designed to play nicely with gold and rose-gold jewelry.
Beneath the new wardrobe, the Beo Grace packs 12 mm titanium drivers, adaptive active noise cancellation, TrueTransparency, and Dolby Atmos spatial audio. NearTap lets you adjust the volume by tapping the skin in front of either ear, while the aluminum charging case doubles as an audio transmitter through USB-C or line-in.
Battery life is 4.5 hours with ANC, or 17 hours with the case, though the system is rated for over 2,000 charging cycles. Honey Tone joins Natural Aluminium for US$1,500. Seriously, at that price, your ears are not wearing earbuds; they are wearing jewelry that happens to play music.
