Ingenious design.
Jakob Wagner found that one of the challenges designing earphones was, that when you design things that are so close to the face, you get to affect people’s personality. Like eyewear, the design of an earphone becomes part of a person’s personality, what he or she communicates to the world, and therefore you have to be very conscious of what the design expresses.
“It was very important to me that the headphone was not to be conceived as a hearing aid or a medical device. In addition, I wanted the fit into the ear to feel comfortable and securely rested when you are moving around. It is also important that the headphone does not stick out too much, dominating the ear completely.”

A Small air vent in the front of the unit lets out extra pressure so the bass level is adjusted to perfection and does not become too dominant.
29 precision drilled holes function as air vents when the driver is moving and the music is playing – but also ensure you get minimal sound leakage both in and out resulting in exceptionally natural sound reproduction.
A custom designed 10.8 mm driver provides a surprisingly powerful sound performance for a product its size.
A miniature bass port integrated in the internal cabinet gives great performance in the low frequencies.
Silence is a precious commodity. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to control. In H3 ANC, B&O use a feed-forward technology to cancel the unwanted noise.
Feed-Forward means that the noise is measured at some “remote” location and that the measurement is used to create an anti-noise signal inside the headphone or earphone. A small microphone, placed inside of the housing, measures the amount of ambient noise. The microphone signal is transferred to an active noise cancellation circuit, which turns the microphone signal into ”anti-noise”. This anti-noise is used to reduce the ambient noise to a comfortable level for the user.
Feed-Back means the noise is measured at the same place as the anti-noise signal is produced, i.e. inside the headphone. The noise is being instantaneously measured and corrected.
Product materials
The inner housing is made out of polymer to feel nice against your skin and for the right ergonomic shape.
The ear tips – super soft Comply™ memory foam and silicone ear tips in different sizes are included with the headphones to guarantee a near-perfect fit for almost any shape and size of ear. The materials ensure optimal acoustic performance and maximum isolation.
The strain relief is made out of rubber to guide the cable and to ensure maximum flexibility. The external housing is made of stainless, lightweight metal, which makes H3 ANC robust, scratch-resistant, and lightweight.
The metall is hairline brushed on the front to catch and reflect the light – and to give it a jewelry feeling. It’s been pearl blasted on the side to “kill the light” and to create a contrast that highlights its shape.
The ANC control unit is made out of soft rubbery polymer. Designed to lie directly
behind your phone in your pocket without taking up too much space.
