Key features of the Beocom Portal include the highly prized Zoom certification and compatibility with the most popular communication platforms. Bang & Olufsen has also included a wireless dongle with the headset that’s pre-paired for improved connectivity compared to most built-in Bluetooth, resulting in interruption-free calls.Bang & Olufsen
Bang & Olufsen's acoustic engineers have developed the driver units used in the Beocom Portal headset to produce the brand’s signature sound. Meanwhile, an array of beamforming microphones isolates and amplifies the user’s voice while canceling out any background noise. Touch controls provide quick access to essential features such as mute and ANC/own voice adjustment.
The Portal headset has been designed by Jacob Wenger for day-long comfort, thanks to its lightweight construction and memory foam ear cushions. Built-in jaw support improves acoustic performance as well as wearing comfort. The inner headband is made from a high-quality textile chosen for its durability and breathability. The headband is also crafted with a unique offset padding to relieve pressure and avoid extended wearing fatigue.
The headset market is getting increasingly crowded, mainly due to the boom in Zoom because of the pandemic. More of us are working between home and office in a hybrid way. A high-quality headset is essential for those of us who spend many hours participating in video meetings. When we’re not chatting online, many enjoy listening to music while working. This change in working practices is driving the demand for high-performance headsets. The new Bang & Olufsen Beocom Portal may put some people off because of its relatively high price. Still, for many others, the lure of the cool Scandi design, Bang & Olufsen signature sound and extended wearing possibilities will be worth the outlay.
