Using the Beoplay app, you can turn ANC on or off, adjust tonality, and select preset ToneTouch sound profiles to customize your listening experience. The updated H8i Bluetooth headphones feature a significant increase in battery capacity over their predecessor, with an intelligent battery-saving function and optimal circuit system that exceeds industry standards for up to 30 hours of playtime. When the battery eventually needs recharging, the lengthy USB-C charging cable lets listen comfortably while you wait and is compatible with all Beoplay Bluetooth speakers. Designed by Danish industrial designer Jakob Wagner, these high-quality headphones feature a durable leather headband, smooth anodized aluminum discs, and soft lambskin and memory foam ear cushions for a luxurious look and feel.

    • The most engaging and fun on-ear headphones in my collection.
Color: Black
I am a self-professed headphone junkie and have a rather large collection consisting of various types. I love all types of music: Metal, Rock, HipHop, RAP, Soul/R&B, Jazz, Country and Classical music. I have my basic requirements; sound quality, comfort and multipoint connectivity. I have purchased all my headphones and have no allegiance to any manufacture. My better on-ear’s include Beyerdynamic Aventho, Sennheiser HD1, Bose Soundlink, the more reasonable Ghostek Rapture and now the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H8i. Test Devices: I’m using my Sony NW-ZX300 DAP as my source player along with my Note 5 cell phone. I will try to compare this group objectively based on size, comfort, stability, controls, sound quality, features and finally value. So, let’s get to my comparison. Physical Size) The Bose are much lighter and compact when folded, while the Ghostek are largest and heaviest. The Ghostek and Sennheiser are about the same size folded. The H8i and Aventho do not fold. Winner is the Bose. Comfort) While on-ear headphones are notorious for heating up and becoming too uncomfortable, I found the H8i a rare exception here. The Bose are a joy to wear, because they are light and have a fabric center section. I can wear the Bose all day long with no discomfort. The Sennheiser eliminates the over heating issue by only placing the ear cups on the outer ear edge and leaving some space in between the ear and the driver. But I have to admit that the Sennheiser’s require time and manipulation to make them comfortable. Out of the box the Sennheiser’s clamped like a vise and the ear-cup pads were entirely too stiff. They are getting better with age, but the Bose, H8i and Aventho felt great right out of the box. Winner is the Bose. A close second place goes to the H8i. Stability) Clear winner is the Bose because of their weight and perfect amount of clamping force. The rest just felt less stable due to their weight. Second place goes to the H8i Controls) I really enjoy the Aventho’s very simplistic approach to the controls. A single button and a touch sensitive pad that works much better than my Sony MDR1000x over-ear headphones. Switching between the Ghostek and Sennheiser headphones I kept finding my self seeking the controls, while the Bose controls were easily located. Winner is the Aventho. Second place goes to Bose. Sound Quality) While realizing that sound presentation is very subjective, there was no close second to the H8i. These have the most engaging sound I have heard in an on-ear headphone. Everything is balanced perfectly with no section of the spectrum being overshadowed. These cans seem to know what I'm listening to and adapts to the genre instantly. Also, I was amazed how well they performed with only SBC connectivity instead of the more limelight aptX and aptX HD. The downside I found was when listening to youtube blogs. All headphones seem to echo or reverb somewhat, but these sounded like I was in a music Hall and the speaker was at the far end. A distant second place goes to the Sennheiser HD1. Features) The H8i has much better ANC than the only other one in my collection, the Sennheiser HD1. The H8i also allows you to disable the ANC and also gives you the option to allow ambient sound in. While the ANC is no match to the on-ear giants like the Bose QC35s and Sony’s 1000 series, it is not too bad either. As others have stated the H8i app is really good at fine tuning the sound profile to your individual taste. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that I could use the app on Note 5 to adjust the sound while listening to my DAP with no interruption or lag. Value) If the high price is a factor then I would go with Bose or Ghostek, but If sound is really important to you like it is to me then go with H8i. If multipoint connectivity is not a priority then you may want to look at “66 Audio BTS Pro” (really good sound and 100’ range). Pros) Sound Quality Light Weight Very comfortable Battery Life (advertised as 30 hours) Range (advertised as 100 feet) Active noise cancellation that can be disabled. 3.5mm wired input USB-C Can fold flat Very minimal sound leakage Multipoint connectivity Good tactile buttons Cons) They are not foldable; however, they do lay flat for storage. No voice prompts or notifications of pairings (I had to keep looking at my devices to confirm) Proximity sensors (never did see one that I liked – I disabled this (instructions below) Also, I must point out that I don’t mind the storage bag since I use a case that holds my DAP and cables. However, I know some would prefer a hard case. It comes down to personal preference on this item. Proximity Sensor management from Bang & Olufsen (took a while to find this). “To disable the automatic play/pause function, with headphones powered on press and hold the middle button on the right headphone for 5 seconds until the indicator light flashes blue and then double press the middle button. The indicator light will turn red. To re-enable, repeat the same steps until the indicator light turns green.” Update 03/30/2018: I still love the sound of these, but not so much the stability while being active. They kept sliding forward and fell off twice while bending over somewhat. I spent the afternoon doing yard work and fought with these to keep them on my head. On the plus side; during the mowing I was impressed with the ANC. Still nowhere as good as the over-ear ANC kings (Bose QC 35 and Sony MDR/WH 1000 Series). But, wasn't bad either. These will be reserved for when I just want to relax and listen to great sound quality. My Bose Soundlink are best when I'm working in my workshop and the Sony MDR1000 for yard work or any place where ANC is important. ... show more

    • Battery Life is unknown
Color: Pink
I wrote b&o about not being able to replace the battery on the 8Hi. I complained about not being able to twist the metal cap off of the left side of the headset and insert the battery as per some of the other instructions in the other headsets. The following is a quote from the response I received from b&o: "The batteries for the Beoplay H8i are not removable. The following models have replaceable batteries, these are the Beoplay H7, H8, H9, and H9i." I must say that I almost completely fell on the floor. What do you do when the battery is run out and what is the true life of the battery in this headset? I really don't think anyone knows. ... show more

    • Great headphones with some downsides
Color: Natural
These headphones are clearly high quality and well-designed. The aluminum and leather they're made from is soft and comfortable, and it feels durable. The sound quality, as far as I can tell, is also very good, especially considering that audio is delivered wirelessly. The bass is present without being overwhelming, and you can customize the sound profile to your liking with the iOS or Android app. I like the Transparency mode that lets you hear the outside world with a quick flip of a switch. The USB-C port is great if you already have USB-C devices. The buttons feel good to press, and B&O has cleverly made the volume down button more "clicky" than the volume up button, so it's easy to tell which one you're pressing. The battery life is excellent. I haven't timed how long it lasts, but I can go a week or two without worrying about charging, even with heavy use and ANC on. However, these headphones have a few downsides besides the premium price: - Audio can cut out for a little bit, even when the device you're playing from is nearby. Sometimes audio cuts out even when my phone is within five feet of the headphones. I haven't found a good fix for this, and it's likely a problem that all Bluetooth headphones will suffer from until the technology becomes more robust. Perhaps Bluetooth 5.0 might help, but these headphones don't have that. - My headphones have an intermittent ticking sound that occurs sometimes when I'm walking. The sound is in time with my steps and it sounds like something might be loose. B&O's warranty repair team was unable to find anything wrong with the unit, so the issue wasn't resolved. This might just be an issue on my pair, but it's also an indication of the post-purchase support. - The proximity sensor (to pause and play when you take off and put on the headphones, respectively) is a smart feature but sometimes doesn't work as reliably as it should. You can disable this feature, however. Overall, I would recommend these if you're looking for a well-designed, good-sounding pair of headphones with good sound quality, ANC, and USB-C. They're expensive, but that unfortunately doesn't get you past some of the issues that come with Bluetooth and electronics quality control. ... show more
