Bang & Olufsen announced its new Beoplay Eleven wireless earbuds today, carrying forward a stem design similar to Apple’s AirPods that the company first introduced with its Beoplay EX . The Beoplay Eleven will be Bang & Olufsen’s first wireless earbuds with replaceable batteries, making them compliant with EU sustainability regulations coming into effect in 2027, as Engadget points out . They still maintain an IP57 dust and water rating, meaning the buds can survive submerging up to one meter.
