Considering buying BeoPlay h6/7

[BrianT]

Hello forum!

Can somebody please enlighten me with some pros and cons of the BeoPlay h6/7??????
Anybody using them regularly that can tell me about the sound/built quality?


Thanks in advance!

What is your budget and do you plan to use them at home or on go? What do you plan to use as a source? Does it matter if they are open back or closed?

I personally would stay away from B&O headphones as they don't offer so good value based on what I auditioned them at B&O store.

Budget: 2000dkk ~ 320usd
I will use them mostly on the go and a bit at home while reading. While on the go I will be streaming music from my phone. I'd prefer closed.

Good value? Talking about quality up against price? Or what are you referring to?

Never heard B&O phones, but I have several pairs of sennheiser phones and honestly all of them are great value for the price points.
If I were you, I'd check these:

Build quality in B&O is ok I suppose, but the sound quality for the price is no no. I would look for Sennheiser Momentum 2 for your budget as you will use them on go. I personally own Sennheiser HD600 and I like them a lot. I have auditioned Sennheiser Momentum 1 and they were nice as well and what I have read the Momentum 2 is big improvement from version 1.
