B&O BeoPlay H8: Fancy wireless headphones with slick gesture controls

If you know anything about B&O (Bang & Olufsen), you know that the Danish company takes design very, very seriously. All of B&O's products are statement pieces. They look fantastic in magazine spreads, where everything inside of the mock living room is impeccably clean.

Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H8 Headphones

In the world of luxury audio brands, Bang & Olufsen are near the top. The company's BeoPlay range, although premium in its own right, packages Bang & Olufsen's high end technology with a slightly less expensive price tag. That said, the lush looking H8 on-ear headphones retail for R7 500.

Love them

What can I say apart from I support all of the positive reviews. Sound quality as expected from B&O. Bluetooth works well. I use these with the iPod, iPad and laptop.

Average Product

B&o has made a pretty average Product . After paying almost 45k , one should be liable to get a better product . Looks are cool but functionality is where the problem lies .It doesn't even have a noise cancellation . There are better products from Parrot and bose Considering the price as well .

Overall these H8 are not bad at all. I would have given them 4 stars if they would cost what they offer, five stars if they would offer what they cost.

Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H8 review: A swanky Bluetooth headphone with a price to match

The $500 Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H8 wireless on-ear headphone looks great, sounds very good and is loaded with features, including noise canceling, but a few small flaws take away some of its luster. The Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H8 is a wireless Bluetooth headphone that also features noise canceling. As you might expect from a B&O product, the H8 is beautifully designed with a sturdy metal and leather headband and plush sheepskin earcups that are equipped with memory foam. It's also expensive, costing $500 (£400 UK, AU $679), which is definitely at the high-end of the Bluetooth headphone spectrum, particularly for an on-ear model.

B&O BeoPlay H8

The asking price may be a little steep, but if you deem both Bluetooth and noise-cancelling as must-have features, the B&O BeoPlay H8s are ones to consider.While the Sennheiser Momentum Wireless' more open, transparent sound stop the B&Os from topping our wishlist, they certainly get a good shoo-in...

Beoplay H8 and H9 are the only tricks on the market with noise reduction that does not make you look like an idiot. They raise an outfit rather than destroy it. In my view, this is worth paying at least twice as compared to competitors.

Love with problems.

I am a long time fan of the Bang & Olufsen headphones. I love their design and clear bass. But, this time I had a problem with the Beo H8. I don't know it's the product design problem or my unit has a problem.
