The Beoplay EQ are a pair of wireless earphones designed for a premium audio experience, combining comfort, sound quality, and advanced features. These earphones are accompanied by a charging case that not only protects them but also ensures they are always ready for use. The design emphasizes a secure and comfortable fit, which is crucial for optimal performance across all functionalities.
The primary function of the Beoplay EQ earphones is to deliver high-quality audio wirelessly. They are equipped with features that enhance the listening experience, such as passive noise cancellation, which is significantly improved by a proper fit. The earphones are designed to provide rich sound quality and deep bass, making them suitable for various audio content, from music to podcasts.
Beyond audio playback, the Beoplay EQ includes built-in microphones, enabling clear communication during calls. The performance of these microphones, along with the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), is directly influenced by how well the earphones are fitted in the ear. The earphones also feature touch controls, allowing users to manage playback, calls, and other functions directly from the earpiece. These controls are integrated with a wear sensor, which detects when the earphones are in use, impacting their responsiveness.
The accompanying charging case serves as a portable power bank for the earphones, extending their usage time. It also acts as a protective enclosure, safeguarding the earphones when not in use. The case itself is rechargeable, ensuring that both the earphones and the case are always powered up for convenience.
To ensure the best experience with the Beoplay EQ, proper fitting is paramount. Users should insert the earphones into their ears and then rotate them until the B&O logo is facing upwards. This specific orientation is key to achieving the ideal fit, which in turn maximizes comfort, security, sound quality, passive noise cancellation, and bass performance. The manual stresses that an improper fit can negatively impact sound quality, microphone performance, ANC, and even the touch controls due to the integrated wear sensor.
The Beoplay EQ comes with a variety of ear tips to help users find their perfect fit. Included are four different sizes of silicone tips and one pair of Comply Foam ear tips, which feature a built-in wax guard. Users are encouraged to try out these different options to ensure nothing covers the earphones and that they are worn properly. This selection allows for a customized fit, accommodating different ear shapes and sizes.
Charging the earphones is straightforward. Users simply place both earphones into the charging case. A light indicator on the case will flash orange to signify that the earphones are charging. Once fully charged, the indicator will turn solid green. A notable feature is the quick charge capability: just 20 minutes of charging can provide up to 2 hours of playtime. The light indicator for the earphones' charging status is only active when the earphones are actually placed inside the charging case.
The charging case itself is also easy to charge. Users connect a USB-C cable to the charging case and then to a power adapter. During charging, the light indicator on the case will flash orange. A full charge for the case takes approximately 2 hours. When the charging case reaches 100% battery, the light indicator will illuminate solid green for 5 seconds, confirming it is fully charged. For optimal charging, the maximum recommended charging adapter is 5V / 3A.
Maintenance of the Beoplay EQ primarily revolves around ensuring a clean and proper fit, which directly impacts performance and longevity. The inclusion of Comply Foam ear tips with a built-in wax guard highlights the importance of preventing earwax buildup, which can obstruct sound output and microphone input. While not explicitly detailed as a maintenance step, the presence of these tips suggests that regular inspection and cleaning of the ear tips and earphone grilles would be beneficial to maintain optimal sound quality and hygiene.
The charging case plays a crucial role in protecting the earphones from physical damage and dust when they are not in use. By storing the earphones in their case, users can prevent scratches, accidental drops, and exposure to environmental elements that could degrade their performance or appearance.
The charging process itself is a key maintenance aspect, ensuring the earphones and case are always powered. Adhering to the recommended charging adapter specifications (5V / 3A) helps to maintain battery health and prevent potential damage from incompatible power sources. The clear light indicators for charging status on both the earphones (via the case) and the case itself provide intuitive feedback, allowing users to easily monitor and manage their device's power levels.
In summary, the Beoplay EQ earphones are designed for a premium, user-friendly experience, with a strong emphasis on fit for optimal performance. Their usage and maintenance are integrated, with the charging case serving as both a power source and a protective shell, and the variety of ear tips ensuring a personalized and effective listening experience.
