Advanced wireless headphones are ideal for long flights. Intuitive aluminium touch disc gives seamless UI. Real leather ages with beauty and lasts many years. Active noise cancellation gives peace of mind.

The jury says

The upgraded headphones Beoplay H9 offer sublime audio and constitute a quality design within Bang & Olufsen’s dual areas of expertise: audio and stylish design. As a new feature, the headphones have a noise-cancelling function that makes it possible to use them without music when the ambient sounds feels too stressful. The comfortable headphones exemplify a design that takes all the human senses seriously, offering music instead of noise and comfort instead of a nuisance.
