Bang & Olufsen has released its Beoplay H100 headphones in Navy Blue, available as of November 2 for $2,200. The color change is the only difference from the existing lineup, with sound, design, and parts unchanged.
Why it matters
The H100 launched at $1,549 in September 2024, so the current U.S. price reflects a substantial increase over its original cost. Buyers weighing a premium headphone purchase now face a higher entry point for the same core hardware.
The Beoplay H100 is priced at $2,200 in the United States, up from its $1,549 launch price in September 2024. Battery life exceeds 30 hours per full charge, and five minutes of charging provides up to five hours of listening.

Timeline
September 2024: The Beoplay H100 launched at $1,549.
November 2: The Navy Blue color became available.
Culture Shift
The Navy Blue H100 follows the premium headphone trend of offering color variations on established models rather than new hardware, with the Beoplay H100's launch price of $1,549 in September 2024 now standing at $2,200. This reflects a pattern in which luxury audio brands extend product lines through aesthetic options as prices climb.
Buyers who want the Navy Blue H100 must pay $2,200 directly through Bang & Olufsen's website, a figure $651 above the original launch price. The same battery life, charging speed, and replaceable parts apply regardless of color, so the purchase decision rests on price and aesthetic preference.
The takeaway
Color options can change how a headphone looks without changing how it performs, so buyers comparing prices should check the launch price against the current price before purchasing. The Navy Blue H100 offers the same features as the existing colors at the same $2,200 cost.
