The Beoplay H3 are in-ear headphones with great build quality and a neutral sound. The earpieces are made out of stainless steel and have an understated yet elegant appearance. The sound is focused on the mids, which is warm and full. Aside from having good clarity, the bass is less powerful and more controlled which gives it an overall neutral character.

Pros
Pro Great build quality with neutral sound
The Beoplay H3’s earpieces are made of metal which makes them durable, yet are still fairly lightweight. The audio presents good detail and clarity without any muddiness in the low end and without the harshness up top.
Pro Solid build quality
The earpieces won’t get damaged easily, and should withstand a lot of use. They are made of stainless steel so they are quite resistant to damage, yet still fairly lightweight.
Pro Neutral sound signature
The H3 foregoes the usual boosted highs and lows that can be heard from most headphones/earphones in favor of a more refined approach. The bass is not overpowering, and instead is controlled, delivering good punch without adding bloat to the mids. The mids sound very natural and warm, so vocals and guitars really sound good with these earphones. The highs deliver a lot of detail with good clarity, yet does not get harsh in any way. These earphones are easy to listen, and work best with classical, jazz and vocal heavy genres.
Pro Tangle-resistant cable
You won’t have to do a lot of cable untangling as it is very flexible, and resists tangles pretty well. The cable will only get tangled if you really try to coil it up.
Pro Minimal to no microphonics
The earphone cables aren’t likely to interfere with your music. The cable is quite thin and does not really transmit unnecessary vibrations to the earpieces, so you’ll have a great listening experience, even if you are on the go.
Cons
Con Bass-light
The bass is more on the tight and controlled side, and does not deliver a lot of power. It may be underwhelming, especially if you are a bass head.
Con Separate variants of Android and iOS
Not really a con but something that you should be aware of. There are separate variants for iOS and Android, and the remote won’t function fully when used with a different platform, so be sure that you are purchasing the right variant for your device.
