Unfortunately, constant jerk in the sound (every 10-20 seconds) if you keep your mobile in your left trouser pocket and are in motion. Stopping your hand in your pocket while dying the sound completely. In other words, I can not take a walk with my mobile phone in my pocket and listen to music.

recieved these lovely earphones only to find they would not link via bluetooth to any of my devices, samsung phone, iPhone or iPad. a second pair sent to me, they didn't work either. Must be a problem with the Bluetooth they use as other labels link no problem. Both pairs sent back.

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay E8 2.0 shows us how to leave the good bits alone while improving on what's there. They deliver very good sound, are very well crafted and they look very attractive. However, the Beoplay E8 version 1 already did all that, so only the loading case really got a makeover.

ImageTagInstance gallery-b8feff37-5989-4466-91e1-29de884abda5 Bang & Olufsen, it's a name you know and probably trust when it comes to audio. Given how many phone manufacturers have chosen them to be their premium audio partner, it shouldn't be a surprise to know that its subsidiary, B&O Play, is tackling the ever-growing market for true wireless headphones. With the B&O Beoplay E8, it's an unmistakable premium offering that intends on keeping audio aficionados content from making the switch from wired to truly wireless. But with a hefty cost of $299, will it deliver enough of the goods to justify buying them over other mainstream solutions at half the cost?Design ImageTagInstance gallery-8c44fec8-13d0-47b4-b013-fb5ece5d5587 Upon first checking out the B&O Beoplay E8, we can't help but to take notice of its larger size. Compared to other true wireless headphones we've checked out, it doesn't even attempt to be as discrete when they're being used – so it's quite noticeable. In a way, it...

Superb & robust audio quality; Custom EQ settings fine tunes audio to your liking; Transparency mode amplifies ambient sounds so you're not distracted; Tons of built-in playback controls; No latency issues when watching video;

Over the past weeks, I have no fewer than 3 pairs of true wireless earphones (TWE) for review (fourth one on its way). The B&O PLAY E8 was the first to arrive, so here's my review. In case you are interested, the other TWE on…

The B&O Beoplay E8 Sport are truly wireless earbuds that tick all of the right boxes. They look good, stay in place, have a solid battery life and offer great, detailed sound quality. While you do have to work a bit harder and tinker with the equalizer to make sure it’s a good fit for all music genres, these are overall great buds to live with.

Good design and secure, comfortable fit; Detailed sound quality; Quick charge support; ;

Not the smallest case; That price tag

The Bang and Olufsen are one of the best sounding and looking sports earphones on the market. The only downside is that, despite having wing tips, they’re still a little on the chunky side and will dislodge during more animated activities.

Solid audio quality; Pretty design; Decent battery;

Fit not suitable for animated workouts; No ANC;

Bang & Olufsen's true wireless 'buds set themselves apart from the usual crowd by looking and feeling ultra-premium. These in-ears also just happen to be waterproof, practical and durable too. It's a great combination, plus the sound profile is customisable and fit is superb.

Premium materials and design; Comfortable and secure fit; Great sound that's customisable; Waterproof enough that you can rinse them clean; Wireless charging case;

No active noise-cancelling (ANC); Really quite pricey;

There are some brands we cover that charge a premium for their luxury wares—many have names that begin with A or B—and Bang & Olufsen is certainly on the high end of the price scale, even in this group. So we go into reviewing the B&O Beoplay E8 Sport true wireless earphones knowing that their price—a cool $350—is easily a deal breaker for many. But for top dollar, you get a beautiful, fully waterproof design, with well-implemented on-ear controls and a transparent listening mode so you can hear your surroundings while exercising. On the audio front, the drivers deliver a sound signature that favors accuracy over exaggeration, with an attention to high-frequency detail and overall clarity. Of course, you can certainly get excellent true wireless audio elsewhere for less money, so whether the E8 Sport earphones are worth the high price comes down to whether you buy into the entire luxury package.A Premium Design For waterproof, sports-focused true wireless earphones, the Beoplay E8...

Sure, the stylish Bang & Olufsen Beoplay E8 Sport earphones are more expensive than they need to be, but that’s really the only negative about these otherwise excellent true wireless in-ears.
