A premium accessory for the elite: the first Bang & Olufsen Qi2 power bank

Bang & Olufsen, whose authority in the world of premium audio equipment is undeniable, entered the accessories market with an unexpected product – a stylish external battery. This is the debut power bank in the history of the brand, created for those who appreciate in gadgets not only technical stuffing, but also an impeccable visual style.

Positioning

The novelty is designed as a functional addition to the Beoplay H100 top headphones. However, the gadget is not highly specialized and supports the Qi2 standard, which makes it a universal solution for a modern electronics owner. Despite its modest dimensions, the device combines advanced wireless charging standards and quality materials.

Characteristics and technical features

Despite its luxury status, the accessory has decent indicators for everyday use:

• Battery capacity: 5,000 mAh
• Wireless charging: Qi2 standard with output power up to 15 W.
• Wired charging: USB-C connector with a power of up to 20 W (output) and up to 18 W (input for recharging the battery itself).
• Charging speed: 5 minutes of recharging provide up to 3.5 hours of operation for Beoplay H100 headphones.

Design and aesthetics

Appearance is a key feature of this device. The body uses a combination of wear-resistant glass and an aluminum frame. Designers paid attention to every detail, including a mother-of-pearl effect texture and signature diamond-cut cut. The device is available in two shades: Infinite Black and Hourglass Sand, which fully matches the palette of the flagship Beoplay H100.

Compatibility

The power bank is optimized to work with the following devices:

• Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H100 flagship headphones.
• Modern smartphones with Qi2 support (including the upcoming iPhone 17 and Google Pixel 10 models).
• Any device that charges via a standard USB-C port.

Cost

This model is one of the most expensive devices in the class of power banks with a capacity of 5,000 mAh. The European retail price is €145, which in hryvnias is approximately UAH 6,500 ($156).

The purchase is justified if you are the owner of Beoplay H100 and want to get a “native” accessory in the same design style. As an independent device, it is above all a premium status, style and guaranteed support of the Qi2 standard for future mobile gadgets.
