Bang & Olufsen has once again redefined luxury audio with the release of the Beoplay H100 Charles Leclerc Limited Edition, unveiled on May 19, 2025. Created in close collaboration with Formula 1 star and Global Brand Ambassador Charles Leclerc, this exclusive headphone embodies the serene blue hues of Monaco’s riviera, merging cutting-edge sound technology with timeless Monegasque aesthetics. Limited to only 216 numbered units worldwide, each marked with a “1 of 216” insignia, this collector’s item is a testament to Bang & Olufsen’s commitment to acoustic excellence and Leclerc’s passion for music and design.

Kristian Teär, CEO of Bang & Olufsen, echoed this sentiment: We are thrilled that Charles has collaborated with us to reimagine our flagship Beoplay H100 in a design that captures one of his greatest inspirations: the serene blue of the Monaco riviera. His dedication to performance and craftsmanship mirrors our own, and his love for music aligns perfectly with our mission to connect with a new wave of audio enthusiasts globally.

  • A Monaco-Inspired Design
  • Unparalleled Sound and Technology
  • Exclusivity and Availability
  • A Legacy of Craftsmanship

A Monaco-Inspired Design

The Beoplay H100 Charles Leclerc Limited Edition is a celebration of Leclerc’s creative vision and Bang & Olufsen’s heritage of craftsmanship. Inspired by the tranquil blues of Monaco’s coastline, the headphone features pearl-blasted aluminum, steel-blue tempered glass, and a refined CL16 badge in silver foil. Every detail reflects Leclerc’s signature Monegasque elegance, creating a sophisticated aesthetic that resonates with both style and performance.

Looking at the sea and the movement of the sea, it’s never really the same, and that’s a huge inspiration for me. said Charles Leclerc. The superior sound quality of Bang & Olufsen has helped me disconnect from the racetrack and reconnect with music, which is a personal passion of mine. Working on this product has been an exciting journey.

Unparalleled Sound and Technology

The Beoplay H100 Charles Leclerc Limited Edition delivers an immersive audio experience, boasting high-resolution sound up to 96 kHz/24 bits, powered by custom-made 40mm titanium drivers inspired by Bang & Olufsen’s iconic Beolab 90 loudspeaker. With advanced active noise cancellation (ANC) and transparency mode facilitated by ten studio-grade microphones, these headphones ensure crystal-clear audio in any environment, from bustling city streets to the quiet of a home studio.

The headphones also feature Bang & Olufsen’s EarSense technology, which tailors sound in real-time to the wearer’s unique fit, ensuring a personalized listening experience. Additional features include Dolby Atmos support with dynamic head-tracking for a rich, spatial audio experience, and a modular design with user-replaceable parts like ear cushions and headband for enhanced durability and sustainability.

Exclusivity and Availability

Priced at €2000, the Beoplay H100 Charles Leclerc Limited Edition is available exclusively through select Bang & Olufsen stores and bang-olufsen.com starting May 19, 2025. With only 216 units available worldwide, each individually numbered, this headphone is a rare collector’s piece that combines luxury, performance, and exclusivity. Social media buzz on X highlights the excitement, with fans noting the rapid sell-out of online stock, underscoring the high demand for this unique offering.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

Bang & Olufsen, celebrating a century of audio innovation, continues to push boundaries with the Beoplay H100 series. The Charles Leclerc Limited Edition builds on the success of the standard Beoplay H100, which has been praised for its premium materials, including lambskin leather earpads and a knitted textile headband, as well as its repairable design that promotes longevity. This collaboration with Leclerc, a figure synonymous with precision and elegance, reinforces the brand’s commitment to blending art, technology, and passion.

For audiophiles, collectors, and fans of Charles Leclerc, the Beoplay H100 Charles Leclerc Limited Edition is more than a headphone—it’s a statement of style and sound. Visit bang-olufsen.com to secure one of the 216 exclusive units before they’re gone.

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
