I had really high hopes for this product as my impression of the brand was that they produced premium products. Unfortunately, I was bitterly disappointed by the product. If I hold my phone in front of me then they work fine, but if I put my phone in my pocket then the sound becomes distorted and...

The sound quality for music is nice, but phone calls are muffled and I have to max out the volume. Additionally, the Bluetooth connection is flaky and the earbuds need to be reset constantly but that could be the phone (Google pixel 2XL).

Believe it or not B&O(Bang & Olufsen) has been in the electronics game for close to a century and can be known for making some pretty high-end looking devices with quality in mind.

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.

Bang and Olufsen has finally entered the truly wireless earphone market. The technology for truly wireless earphones is still developing, and it's hard to find a pair that checks all the boxes for quality design and sound.

True wireless earbud-style headphones aren't exactly a new concept, but ever since the Apple AirPods were introduced, the category has exploded. Now there are countless alternatives available, each model prefaced with the words: ‘like AirPods, but…'.

Good sound; Lovely design and build; Good fit (if fiddly; Stable connection; Decent battery life

Buggy app (optional; Expensive

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;

Extremely expensive at $299; Bulky size in the ear; Exercising & sweating can cause the fit to become loose; Basic functioning charging case;

My hope when I stuck the $300 Beoplay E8s into my ears for the first time was that they'd immediately stand out as the best truly wireless earbuds I'd ever tried. For that kind of money, and with B&O Play's strong reputation , why shouldn't they

Premium; unobtrusive design; Nice carrying case; Comply foam ear tips in the box; No audio delay when watching videos

Too many dropouts to justify high price; Annoying bug shifts music balance to left earbud; Case uses MicroUSB; Average battery life; Frustrating / annoying firmware update system

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…

Let's get one thing out of the way – the B&O Beoplay E8 are the nicest looking and most expensive wireless earphones you can buy.

Good audio quality; Exceptional design; Easy to setup

Can feel a bit snug
