These $300 headphones from Bang & Olufsen might be the best-looking option on the market

I've never been a big headphones guy.

For the majority of my adult life I have used the same reliable Sony earbuds, ordering new ones only when I lost a pair. I always thought they sounded great, and for years I was satisfied with the quality of my listening experience.

That changed on Cyber Monday 2015, when I decided to purchase a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50x over-ear headphones for just under $130. Suddenly, I was hearing new things in songs I'd listened to for years that I had never heard before.

Still, I knew that there was a better audio experience out there, so I recently decided to seek it out.

Enter the BeoPlay H4. Released in early February, the H4 are the latest headphones by the Danish consumer electronics maker Bang & Olufsen (B&O). At $300, these Bluetooth cans are priced to compete with Bose and Beats, and might be good enough to create some converts. Take a look.
