Tune your headphones with your daily life.
Shuta Hasunuma’s life revolves around sound. He usually uses earphones daily but opts for headphones on long trips. Music surrounds him nearly all the time, whether working or relaxing. He listens to various genres and switches headphone brands depending on the music or activity, even using different ones for movies.
"For long journeys, I opt for headphones because they are less taxing on the ears and offer an immersive listening experience. They're perfect for focusing on music”
So, how does the Beoplay H100 sound to him?
Beoplay H100 delivers sound with a natural character and a sense of depth.
Hasunuma notes that the Beoplay H100 offers a "natural, uncolored sound with a bit of personality." As a music creator, he appreciates its balanced high, mid, and low frequencies, which deliver music as intended without artificial boosts. He also senses a distinct spatial depth, even without spatial audio activated.
A magical sound.
Shuta Hasunuma's first encounter with Bang & Olufsen was in high school, when he was drawn to the design of a vintage CD player. He believes good sound is subjective, influenced by personal perception and design appeal.
The Beoplay H100, with its professional feel, delivers a unique Bang & Olufsen sound across genres, imbuing music with a distinct "magical" quality beyond just technical specs. Currently working on new compositions, Hasunuma finds that the H100 even helps him identify missing elements in his music production.
