What the Beoplay Eleven earbuds are
Bang & Olufsen announced the Beoplay Eleven on 26 November 2024. Natural Aluminium went on sale first, and Copper Tone followed in December. B&O's UK site now also lists a Eucalyptus Green version.
The design uses a short stem, so they look closer to AirPods than to B&O's older round buds. Each bud has a 9.2mm driver, the largest B&O has fitted to a true wireless pair.
What they do
- Noise cancelling: B&O says it is twice as effective as the Beoplay EX, its previous flagship pair.
- Six microphones: these handle noise cancelling and calls.
- Battery: up to 8 hours from the buds with noise cancelling off, or 6 hours with it on. The case adds up to 20 hours.
- Quick charge: 20 minutes in the case gives about 1.75 hours of listening.
- Multipoint: they stay connected to two devices, so a laptop and a phone can share them.
- Replaceable batteries: the batteries can be swapped, ahead of EU rules due in 2027.

Who the Beoplay Eleven earbuds suit

The limits
£429 is a lot for earbuds. Moreover, Amazon UK was not discounting them on 5 October 2026, so you pay full price either way.
Battery life is modest for the money: 6 hours from the buds with noise cancelling on.
There is no aptX on iPhone, so Apple owners get AAC like any other pair. In addition, Amazon UK showed 3.9 stars from 173 ratings from buyers.
Where to buy them in the UK
On 5 October 2026 Amazon UK had the Natural Aluminium pair at £429, sold and dispatched by Amazon, which matches the RRP. The full specification is on the Bang & Olufsen UK product page.
