Bang & Olufsen makes very good speakers, very expensive speakers, and very good, very expensive headphones. Now it makes very expensive wireless earbuds that … may be very good.

The Beoplay H5 are a first for the Danish brand, and the first "neckbuds" that don't look cheap. The braided textile cord that loops lazily behind your head is handsome enough. Instead of the lame yoke that so many wireless buds use to keep them close at hand, the Beoplays have a small magnet in each earpiece. Pull them out, put them together, and your fancy earbuds look like a necklace. They shut down on their own, saving your battery.
