The design is amazing small and powerful The material used is high quality The sound is great The noise canceling works very well It has a transparency mode that helps a lot to use than without to take it out to have a talk with someone that you just met in your run The only concern is the connection with the phone that sometimes not connect automatically at start

After losing a pair Shure SE535 headphones I needed something to replace them. I decided to try a pair of True Wireless earbuds. I had never owned a B&O product but have always heard good things about them so I decided to give these a try. First and foremost they are NOT my beloved Shure 535 in any way, especially sound. To be fair the Shure is in a category all on its own so I had prepared myself to look at the B&Os on their own merit. What I found pleasantly surprised me. True Wireless earbuds are not known for their sound quality but these really impressed me. Soundstage is extremely wide and very open. Bass is good without being boomy, although getting the right ear tips to seal correctly is key. Highs are crisp without being overly bright. Mids are strong without being overpowering. I wish that they came with more than just the medium Comply foam ear tips. I had better luck with a good seal with the foam ear tips on my Shures and I have no reason to believe that these B&Os would be any different. While the sound quality does not compare to the Shure 535s they are also almost half the cost of the Shures as well. These are definitely better sounding than my Bose QC35s which cost more than the B&Os. Battery life seems to be decent so far. I don't have that many hours on them yet but the more I listen to them the smoother they get so I am betting with a hundred hours or more break-in time they will really start to shine. The build quality is excellent and the feel extremely solid without being heavy. The leather charging case feels luxurious. Everything about them screams timeless luxury. I am looking forward to getting to know these new friends. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants the freedom of a true wireless headphone with compromising build and sound quality. The only downside that I have found, so far, is I would like for them to be able to produce just a bit more volume for really demanding music. They aren't horrible, they just leave me wanting about 10% more and honestly getting the right Comply foam ear tips may take care of part if not all of that.

So excited to purchase these and then truly let down. The size was what made me purchase these over the Bose. That was until I listed to them. My free iphone ear pods sound better. Bass and mid bass was bad on all types of music. Just very dirty and distorted. Also volume is vey low. Set up app and everything. Super disappointed as I hve B&O home speakers. Went with the Bise even though they are so big. But sound with the Bose is simply amazing.

I've waited quite some time to write this review. I had purchased and returned a few other competitive pairs, but I kept these despite their price. I like them, I recommend them, they sound excellent, and the battery life is very good and conveniently recharged with the case. My reason for not giving it 5* is the dependency on the software to pair and upgrade the headphones. It's just not very intuitive, or frankly very good. Sound - 5 (High end/low end improve with seal/better buds) Comfort - 5 (I can wear them all day) Convenience - 5 (No wires is awesome) Durability - 5 (dropped multiple times, even put through washing machine once on accident)

So I went from Airpods, To Jaybird Runs which are better than Airpods, and then to the B&O E8, the B&O E8 is not good at all for fitness, it’s more for people who are not active in fitness, they continually fall out and when I wear a beanie the touch sensitivity is so high that my hat would manipulate the controls on the side and pause, skip, turn off, etc etc, so definitely Not beanie friendly. The sound is just ok, not loud and not great bass. So I went back to the JayBird Runs, which have excellent sound quality, louder than B&O and Airpods and deeper bass than both. And NEVER Fall out of my ear and are low profile and comfortable. So don’t get suckered into paying 300 if your looking for a good wireless to wear during fitness activities, I’m sure it’s great for lounging and office work.
