The Beoplay Portal is a high-quality gaming headset that is made of premium materials. It is lightweight and can be worn comfortably, but its high price justifies it. ..
The Beoplay Portal has an active noise cancellation feature that is probably redundant for most homes, but it comes into its own when you use the headphones on the go. ANC, volume, and “Own Voice” technology can be adjusted via the headset’s touch controls. You can also mute your microphone or stop music playback by double-tapping one of the earcups.
The Beoplay Portal is a very feature-rich Bluetooth headset, but one glaring shortcoming is that it cannot play both Bluetooth and Xbox audio simultaneously. This limitation feels noticeably limiting when other, cheaper headsets have this option. ..
The PS5’s next variant, the 2022 model, offers dual audio support - so you can listen to audio from your console and a connected Bluetooth device at the same time. This is handy when you take a call in the middle of a game, for example. Few competing gaming headsets sound as impressive as the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal. When playing music, the Beoplay Portal sounds even better - something we can’t often say about other gaming headsets. ..
The Beoplay Portal gaming headset is a compelling product if you’re looking for an all-in-one headset that you can wear comfortably at home or on the go. However, the frequent connectivity issues we had with the Xbox version, the lack of simultaneous Bluetooth playback, and the average battery life make it difficult to justify the high price of the Beoplay Portal for fans of Microsoft’s devices. Those who opt for the newer PS5 version will benefit from the fact that many of these issues have been fixed.
