Whether gaming on PlayStation, PC or mobile, the new variant of Beoplay Portal delivers rich audio experience and stylish design to match. An array of beamforming microphones isolates and amplifies the user’s voice while cancelling out background noise, creating a Virtual Boom Arm experience that eliminates the need for a physical one and adding to the headphone’s every day usability.
The new version also boasts a significant increase in battery life, providing up to 42 hours of continuous playtime using Bluetooth and Active Noise Cancellation or 19 hours of wireless playtime with Active Noise Cancellation.
Offering wireless 2.4GHz connectivity for PC and PlayStation, as well as dual-audio streaming, the new Portal headphones are designed for simple and sophisticated connectivity. The introduction of a new wireless dongle allows for faster connection across PC, PlayStation or any other USB-C input device, with a seamless transition between wireless and wired usage. As mobile gaming expands its prevalence in the market, Beoplay Portal is also designed to cater for these users with Bluetooth 5.1 with aptX Adaptive technology for on-the-go gaming.
Tuned by Bang & Olufsen’s acclaimed acousticians, Beoplay Portal feature two custom-designed 40mm drivers with neodymium magnets that ensure a precise and faithful acoustic reproduction while Dolby Atmos for Headphones delivers virtualized surround sound, adding layers of depth and texture to games, movies, and music.
The sound performance of Beoplay Portal is further enhanced by a new generation of Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation technology. Using a combination of feed-forward ANC and feed-back ANC, Beoplay Portal headphones allow users to fully immerse themselves, enjoying every detail even in noisy environments. The addition of Own Voice enables users to hear their own voices while cancelling out external sounds, providing the focus and detail.
Designed by Jakob Wagner in partnership with Bang & Olufsen’s design team, Beoplay Portal is available in three attractive colorways: Black Anthracite, Grey Mist, and Navy. The earcups feature touch-sensitive aluminium discs with a stunning gradient effect, produced using a proprietary anodization technique, while earpads crafted from lambskin-wrapped memory foam ensure all-day comfort, because let’s face it, the pandemic isn’t going anywhere in a hurry.
