Bang & Olufsen Beo Grace specifications and in-depth review

Bang & Olufsen Beo Grace

Manufacturer: Bang & Olufsen

The Bang & Olufsen Beo Grace are true wireless in-ear earbuds designed without cables or a neckband, weighing just 12 g per earbud. They carry an IP54 and IP57 ingress protection rating, making them waterproof for use in demanding conditions. The earbuds ship with a travel bag and support voice prompts, a mute function, and touch controls placed directly on the device.

Audio performance is driven by a 12 mm driver with a frequency range of 10 Hz to 20,000 Hz, a neodymium magnet, and support for active noise cancellation alongside passive noise isolation and spatial audio. Connectivity runs on Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio and AAC codec support, a maximum wireless range of 10 m, and multipoint pairing for up to two devices simultaneously. The 45 mAh battery provides 4.5 hours of playback with ANC active, charges via USB-C or wirelessly, and the 200 mAh charging case extends total use time; fast charging is also supported, with a full charge completed in approximately 1.4 hours. Six microphones, including noise-canceling mics, handle call and voice input duties.

Pros
  • Dual IP54 and IP57 ratings provide strong protection against both dust and water immersion
  • Six-microphone array with noise-canceling capability supports clear call quality
  • Supports simultaneous connection to two devices via multipoint pairing
  • Both wireless charging and fast charging are available for flexible recharging
  • Active noise cancellation and passive noise isolation work together for layered sound control
  • A travel bag is included, adding practical portability out of the box
Cons
  • Battery life of 4.5 hours with ANC on is relatively short for extended listening sessions
  • Maximum Bluetooth range is limited to 10 m
  • No fast pairing or NFC pairing support, which can slow down the initial connection process
  • Does not support aptX, LDAC, LDHC, or any high-resolution audio codec beyond AAC
  • Wingtips are not included, which may affect stability during physical activity for some users
Who is this for?

The Beo Grace are well-suited to users who frequently move between environments and need reliable noise control, thanks to the combination of active noise cancellation and passive noise isolation. The dual IP54 and IP57 water resistance ratings make them a practical choice for outdoor use or workouts where exposure to rain or sweat is likely. Users who regularly switch between two devices — such as a laptop and a phone — will also benefit from the multipoint pairing support, while the included travel bag and wireless charging add convenience for those often on the go.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who prioritize extended listening sessions may find the 4.5-hour ANC battery life limiting, particularly on long flights or full workdays without access to a charger. Audiophiles who rely on high-resolution wireless codecs will be underserved, as the earbuds lack LDAC, LDHC, and the full aptX family, supporting only AAC beyond standard Bluetooth. Additionally, those who engage in vigorous physical activity may find the fit less secure, since no wingtips are included to help stabilize the earbuds during movement.

Final Verdict

The Bang & Olufsen Beo Grace present a well-rounded set of true wireless earbuds that balance environmental awareness and noise control through both active and passive isolation, while the dual IP54/IP57 waterproof rating and six-microphone noise-canceling array give them a practical edge for daily and outdoor use. Multipoint pairing, wireless charging, and a compact 12 g form factor further reinforce their suitability for users who value convenience alongside capable audio fundamentals. Where the Beo Grace fall short — namely in codec variety and per-charge battery endurance — reflects trade-offs that are worth acknowledging for demanding listeners. On balance, the Beo Grace are a coherent and feature-conscious option within the wireless earbud category, best matched to users who prioritize durability, call quality, and seamless multi-device connectivity.
