Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H4chat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

Sound quality consistently impresses long-term users. Multiple reviewers say the H4 delivers clear, crisp, warm and detailed sound, with one calling it balanced and holographic with great imaging and separation. Comparisons to Bose QC35 favor the H4's clarity, and another commenter says it destroys Bose and other Bluetooth headphones. This sound quality is repeatedly cited as the reason owners remain happy years after purchase.

Comfort and battery life hold up over extended use. Owners highlight the lambskin leather pads as super soft, allowing three-hour sessions without discomfort, even for glasses wearers. One reviewer reports over three years of use without ever running out of battery, using wired mode at a computer and wireless with a phone. Another calls the H4 almost unrivalled for how light and comfortable it feels for daily wear.

Missing accessories and mixed value perception are the biggest gripes. Several commenters call out the lack of an included carrying case as unacceptable at a roughly $300 price, comparing it unfavorably to cheaper headphones that do include one. A couple of buyers who paid full or promotional price felt the product was overrated, uncomfortable, or lacking in special features like noise cancellation, while others who scored discounts felt the value was worth it.
