Stone the crows! My favorite do-it-all headphones have been reduced in price just in time for Christmas. So put on your skates, check out Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal on sale for $169 (was $499, nice…) at Woot in the U.S. And if you're in the UK, you can score the headphones £175 at Amazon (usually £449).
As you'll see in our Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal review, these are premium headphones with active noise cancellation, designed to work wirelessly and seamlessly with the Xbox Series X or the PS5 at the touch of a button. And while they work very well for gaming, with nuanced surround sound, powerful bass and plenty of clarity across the frequencies, they're also just a great pair of high-quality cans overall.
I really appreciate them for the music, because they have the very clean, agile and clear Bang & Olufsen sound profile. The bass thumps and thumps with enthusiasm, but never overwhelms the midrange, which sweeps along with texture and clarity, while the treble is crisp and clear, avoiding harshness even at high volumes. My only minor criticism is that I'm so used to the midrange warmth (and for lack of a better word, 'pleasure') of Sony's wireless headphones that the Beoplay Portal can't really replicate that, even with some equalizer fiddling. . However, the active noise cancellation is also quite strong; I've worn the Beoplay Portal on a flight and was quite impressed with how much jet engine noise was reduced.
Considering that Woot and Amazon have both discounted over 60% off the original Beoplay Portal price, I think these deals represent some of the best early Christmas sales in the US and (especially) early Boxing Day sales in the UK. So if you're looking for headphones that work well with the latest gaming consoles and are also suitable for general audio listening, then I recommend these competitively priced Beoplay Portal headphones.
