Bang & Olufsen - Beoplay E8 True Wireless In-Ear Headphones - Black

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

Let's get one thing straight about the folks posting that the volume is too low on these things: there's something about the Beoplay app that, when used to pair the earbuds, messes with the max volume to where they sound terribly quiet. I suspected this to be the case when I downloaded the app AFTER manually pairing the earbuds via Bluetooth. After deleting the app and forcing my phone to forget and pair with the buds again, the volume issue was solved instantly. Everything else about these things were amazing, from the portability to battery life. I don't sit and listen to music for hours at a time, so 4 hours by themselves without charging in the case is more than enough for me. The fit can be strange depending on how large or small your ears are. Worst case scenario, they stick out a bit more than you'd like, but they'll still stay in (thanks to the comply earbuds they come with). The left ear bud issue with it cutting out was never a problem with me, in fact I've never experienced it once. However if I pull the left bud far away enough from the right, it does cut out, which leads me to believe that people just... Have unusually wide heads unfortunately. All in all, I myself have not experienced a single issue beyond the app being complete garbage. Don't bother downloading it all.

Ok... let's get this out of the way. I bought these only to prove them wrong. I have the experience with some of the very best earphones and headphones out there. The Westones, Ultimate ears, Bose, Master and Dynamics, and even Sennheiser to name a few. So now that you know I at least have a good idea of "quality" we can move on. These earphones were released in 2017. That's right 2017!!! Do you really understand the weight of this statement? Bang and Olufsen are the oldest industry leader in sound, older than Sennheiser, Bose, and others. And yet in 2019, their sound signature is still being measured up against the best there is being released now. And here's the point...they are still better than the rest. That goes for the latest Master and Dynamics, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless, and Bose. How do I know because I have all of them and this is the best package, especially when the add the fact that it's less than all the rest. And if you thinking about getting the 2.0's, I will say you the questions. They are the exact same sound signature so all you buying is a better case, not better sound quality. That says a lot when this company can't beat itself in sound quality with a 2.0 version. But then again, it doesn't surprise after hearing these. The Bass, sound stage and highs that probably rival most wired ones that I have heard to date. There is no wonder why they couldn't make it better. As to the elephant in the room, I'm just as floored by this as you are. I have no idea how anyone in their right mind or should I say right ears rank these blow anything but a 4. I wanted to hate them and couldn't and had no choice but to give them a perfect 5. Even an uninformed person who had no reference earphones to compare them too should have still come to at least a 4. The only foreseeable issues I can say is the initial pairing process was a little shaky so if you just threw in the towel maybe there will be a "one" ranking here and there. But averaging a below a 4 is just crazy. These have replaced my Sennheiser for my #1 used earphones and that was not small feet. So buy, use the app and create the best possible sound world you can live in your earphones. 2017 -2019 still the best sound signature.

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)

Very good sound, could be one of the best in the market. Use the Bang Olufsen app to update the firmware and the so many problem mentioned in other review goes away. The only thing is sometimes it will not connect again automatically to the phone the next time I want to use it. Then I found out I just uninstall the Bang Olufsen app after the update then the auto reconnect issue goes away. Also, when I tried updating the firmware in the beginning it kept failing, then I found out from other forum to plug in the phone to the charger and the firmware update will complete, hence the 4 stars. Otherwise it's a very good earphones. I really love the sound from it.

These are some amazing wireless ear phones. The sound is so refined. It has such clarity in all registers. Nothing is muddy in pretty much all aspects of the sound. Clarity without sacrificing power is so important when looking for good headphones. Some headphones might have lots of deep bass and power underneath, but when you hear the mids and highs, you'll find they sound fuzzy, or shrill, or just plain bad. You must compare the good to the bad ones to see what I mean. It's got a very sleek design, meant to fit nicely into your ear while retaining a decent amount of battery life. It includes a nice charging/carrying case that holds a few extra charges so you don't have to keep recharging it every time it runs out. They feature a mode that allows you to hear your surroundings without taking them off of your ear. Just simply tap the earbud once to enter this "transparency mode". Wonderful sounding wireless earphones, and the quality is exceptional.
