Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best Earbuds Out There I have had several different sets of ear buds and these are by far the best. The sound quality is just incredible, making my other buds and Bluetooth speakers sound muddy by comparison. The spatial quality of the audio is particularly impressive. Also, using the Comply foam tips the fit is really secure, allowing me to not only ride my trainer but also do plyometrics and strength training without worrying about having a bud fall out of my ear. If I have any complaints, it’s that the touch controls can be a little bit finicky during set up, but once you get a sense for how they behave they work fine. Lastly, the accompanying app is pretty cool, allowing you to easily customize sound profiles. I know this is a lot of money for a pair of earbuds, but they really are top notch.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Look nice... but!! With the Rapha and B&O logo, they look great... neat little charging/storage case. Pairing with your device is a little fiddly and with my iPhone 12 Pro, I regularly have to pair them again instead of automatically connecting. (Whether that’s the iPhone or a software issue??) The design is a little tight to fit in your ear, but once you get the knack, you can’t feel they’re there. The only annoying thing... I love my music loud and it has a safety noise limiter, which I can’t seem to deactivate. A little disappointing, as I was expecting great things.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not so good.... Unfortunately these beautiful earphones are not the right ones for me. After 30 minutes in my ears they started to hurt. When I wanted to reposition them I could not help and touched the "touch interface" and the music stopped or skipped to the next song. Also the control with the touch interface was to difficult for me. Sound was OK though. Fortunately I could return them to Rapha and received my money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from LOVE them. Great audio experience on the turbo I was nervous to purchase but since I’ve been using them it’s completely transformed my turbo experience. No more cable faf - possible not a benefit worth £300 but it’s really made everything so much earlier. Bass quality is excellent given they are in-ear headphone. Battery life is fantastic - rarely charge and only a couple of times I’ve run low without realising. The only downer is it difficult to pair with other devices once is paired with your phone.. the usual forget device, turn on and off etc but I think that’s standard with most wireless headphones. Always reconnects easily with my phone. I use these on walks, cooking (with one headphone), wear them around the house cleaning. So happy with my purchase. If you’re looking for a pair of wireless headphones, I can definitely recommend these.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Terrific sound let down by connectivity issues First the good. These are really terrific sounding earbuds - great clarity but also with a bass that has some heft. A pleasure to listen to. They're also great to look at - the Rapha collab is very tastefully done and the wireless charging case works great with an Apple Magsafe charger. However, they are let down by persistent connectivity issues as others have pointed out. The comparison with a pair of $50 Beats X with Apple's W1 chip is night and day. They do pair with one device fine, and generally can find that device on waking up. But if you pair with a second or third device, I have found myself having to repair from the Bluetooth menu on my iPhone pretty much every time (whilst also turning Bluetooth off on the other devices), and reasonably often having to perform a full software reset then repairing to get them working again. Frequently enough, reconnecting them turns into a 1-2 minute job whereas the Apple chip just works. Really spoils the experience of using them. Someone else mentioned that there was also an issue early on with the app showing a firmware update as being available (5.8.0) but not being able to perform this. It appears B&O were aware of this fault as after some to and from with their support team an update to the app was released that allowed the software update to take place. But the firmware update hasn't fixed the underlying connectivity problems.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cycling "head game" just went up a notch or two Without a doubt these are the best ear buds I've ever owned in terms of richness-of-sound, and they rapidly became an integral part of my kit. No earbuds owned before these even came close to what B&O has engineered here (all previous buds were the wired kind, including Shure, Bose and Sony). The dynamic range, the ease of pairing and intuitive operation, the accompanying B&O app, the overall fit and functionality of the buttons/commands -- an absolute pleasure. I've also gone against the "indoor only" recommendation and wore them for 100s of miles of outdoor riding, which I think people are curious about. Although they do pick up occasional wind noise in the bluetooth mic (which you use for phone calls) they still sound amazing on the road. I've had them in the rain and I also accidentally popped an earbud out (which is not easy to do once you get the ear fins fitted correctly) at about 20 mph, and it went flying to the ground, but there was no damage whatsoever. Perhaps I just got lucky as it bounced off pavement for 25-30 feet without so much as a scratch. As far the bluetooth goes, it's nearly flawless -- people on calls said I sounded far clearer and more "in the room" than with regular iPhone speaker calls. The "outside noise-transparency" feature is great for when there's traffic and you need to hear what's coming from behind or around you. This product has enhanced my ride in ways I never imagined as my cadence, tempo and overall energy level sync up with my beat-heavy iTunes playlists (which are mostly electronic music that stokes exercise and body rhythm). Rapha only partners with the best, and we see that again right here.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth it! Superb sound, stylishly packaged. It just works and has that quality feel.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from not worth $$$, rather use earpod pro. Connection seems to have lots of issue, require several re-pairing to connect to my phone/labtop. I never have this problem with other headphone/earphone from any other brands.
