Bang & Olufsen,???.?????.???.???? Danish manufacturer of fancy audio and video products, is celebrating its 95th birthday with a new pair of headphones, the Beoplay H95.
These are the most premium wireless headphones B&O has ever released, and they come with a price to match: $800. However, they do offer a lot, at least on paper.

Adaptive active noise cancellation is on board (though B&O claims the H95 offer "impressive" passive noise reduction from the get go), and the controls consist of aluminum dials on both cups.

Four voice microphones should provide good voice call quality, further improved with B&O's noise reduction tech.
Other features of note are support for ACC and aptX Adaptive sound, as well as Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity.

They fold flat, and come with an aluminum carrying case.
