Our Verdict

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H9i Wireless

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 Wireless

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 Wireless are better headphones than the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H9i Wireless. While the H9i have a more comfortable fit, the H95 are a step up in most areas. They have a more intuitive control scheme, and the companion app has improved UI and customization options. The H95 also have a much longer continuous battery life and superior ANC performance.
