The design is more reminiscent of the current H9, which also does not come with a box. Nor should there be the same type of DSP signal processing as the h95 comes with neither the titanium driver. Btw I don't think the h95 is intended as a product that will be permanently included in their product range. Personally I do not think we can expect to see them until sometime in March, although I would like to see them come out in the stores already here the 6th, but it is very unlikely and also not really related to the date we can find on fccid.io
This leaked image is supposedly the Beoplay EQ - ANC
Great finding! This is the real look of the earbuds. I can't disclose much more, but they are finishing the firmware.
So we can expect a release in the next coming months ?!

Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.
The hardware is totally finished. I think the engineering team is still tweaking the firmware, as some tap gestures were not working yet. QI charge, good battery life, decent ANC... these are a nice pair of TWS
Is black the only color option ?
According to those Chinese websites, July 29 is release day for these ...
Bang & Olufsen, the first ANC complete wireless earphone "Beoplay EQ". Unique ear tips improve wearability
PHILE WEB 7/28 (Wed) 0:00

@Bestwick8 besides black is a sand/beige colour that looks nice. The case for the black earbuds is a beautiful metallic dark brown.

As far as known….what is the price?

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Reviews are up, according to this site it'll be 39,900 yen, after converting over its pretty much the same regular price as the E8 3.0
Are you talking about the same brown/ beige like the HX in Timber ?
Looks like less battery life for the case with only two additional charges
Looks like less battery life after translating that article, only 2 additional charges, so looking at 21-22 hours total.

Google translate works quite well. You'll see the two colour schemes in the pics
I really don’t like that they seem to have made it more bulky with that protruding «fin» that presumably does things with ANC. Making it something other than round is like reintroducing the notch on a future iPhone that didn’t have it any more. But the charging case looks sweet.
I am being optimistic in hoping that the odd shape better holds them in your ear, like the fins on the "active" E8s. Time will tell, although I don't think there is anything especially magic about the E8s round shape.
I do like the flatter shape of the case. I find the E8 case not very pocket friendly.

Will these be able to carry lossless ?
Bestwick8: Will these be able to carry lossless ?
No Bluetooth audio device to date is capable of streaming lossless audio.
So what happens when you try to play a lossless song through Bluetooth ? Does it keep skipping or just plays a compressed version ?
Finally got these, only complaint is volume is quite low when using it with my iPhone.
Any solutions ? Already tried messing with the volume limit on my iPhone and transparency modes on the app, even at max volume it is rather quiet.
Sounds like you need a better (tighter) fit in your ears. In ear headphones can lack quite some volume is there isnt a good enough seal.

Beoplay A9mk4 GVA, Beosound 1 GVA, H2, H3, H8, E6, Beoplay EQ
Yeah I’ve tried all of that, even tried using the memory foam, but no luck. The only thing I can think that will work is a software update increasing the volume limit, I’m willing to sacrifice the battery life for the volume
Can you describe how low the volume is? Any other headphones or earphones to compare to and their volume percentage? Hard to understand what you define as low volume.
I suppose you have charged your earphones all the way up? One article on the B&O support page for another pair of Beoplay headphones suggest that battery level might impact the volume, but it's more of a sudden drop in it. With speakers it might be caused by overheating.
I was wondering if it exchanging it for another pair would give you a better idea. Otherwise it must be a software fix if the eartips make no difference or the way you put them in. I wonder if others have reported the same issue...
I was using the H3 ANC before these EQ's and had the volume of the H3 just over half on my iPhone and it is way louder than the EQ at max.
I have noticed the odd comments people have made on instagram about all three generations of E8 having too low of volume as well due to B&O not wanting sacrifice sound quality or battery life.
