Bang & Olufsen’s Beo Grace is positioned as a true-wireless earbud where industrial design is treated as part of the acoustic platform: pearl-blasted aluminium housing, jewellery-like fit, and a compact case that’s meant to travel without looking like generic plastic. In this video, the focus is on how the physical build (materials, tolerances, seal) supports both comfort and consistent sound delivery. https://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/int/earphones/beograce


HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

On the audio side, Beo Grace uses a 12 mm titanium dynamic driver and tuning that targets a clean, high-resolution presentation while keeping low-end controlled rather than boosted. The demo leans heavily on active noise cancellation performance, describing a “full isolation” effect, plus a transparency mode that’s meant to stay natural instead of sounding like a boosted microphone feed. Dolby Atmos spatial audio is also part of the story, aiming to widen the image and create a more externalised stage.

Interaction design matters here: instead of only relying on tiny buttons, Beo Grace uses touch controls and proximity-based gestures (often referenced as NearTap-style control) for volume and playback, so you can make adjustments without breaking the seal. The earbuds are rated IP67, which is unusually high for premium in-ears, and the aluminium charging case keeps the same material language as the earbuds rather than switching to coated plastic. The segment was filmed at ISE 2026 in Barcelona, so it’s presented in a show-floor context rather than a quiet studio.

A useful technical footnote is that ultra-premium earbuds still live within power and size limits: reports around Beo Grace point to shorter playback time with ANC enabled than mainstream rivals, while focusing on longevity via battery-management design (including partnerships around battery health and cycle life). If you’re comparing it to other B&O in-ears, think of Beo Grace less as a feature checklist and more as a materials + acoustics + ANC package aimed at a very specific listening workflow.
