I love these. It was easy to connect. Very comfortable, not hot or heavy. Sound great. Very happy. Had a set of Nuraphones, but they hurt my ears. The B&O are much lighter. The bass isn't as stong, but OK for my taste. I would reccomend these.

Sound great; Very comfortable; Easy connection

None

I was looking for a set of noise cancelling headphones for ages, and kept coming back to the 2 usual suspects, Bose QC35ii and Sony 1000XM2's. I didn't like the sound quality from the Bose (it was just completely boring, flat even), and the Sony have the well documented hinge issue.

Poor quality sound, also comes with soft case. Not worth the money. Purchase another brand.

Fantastic sound , not the best fit. Found them very hard to wear, but a wonderful sound.

B&O continues its run of well-designed headphones with the H8i and H9i, and for the most part, the audio is up to par. The volume issue with the H8i is a big sticking point for me, especially when you consider how steep the investment is there.

For both audio and noise cancellation, we actually like the on-ear Beoplay H8i headphones more than their pricier over-ear sibling, the Beoplay H9i. Neither can match the QuietComfort 35 II's noise cancellation prowess, but they both offer better-than-average performance.

Strong audio performance with deep bass response and crisp, bright highs; Good noise cancellation; Transparency mode lets you hear your surroundings; Free app has adjustable EQ

Expensive; Auto-pause/play function gets old quick

The B&O Beoplay H8i headphones are a pair of wireless Bluetooth-connected, active noise cancelling cans. They offer a combination of high-quality audio with premium design and build materials. As you'd imagine, they're expensive. But you get what you pay for.

Excellent sound quality; Brilliant noise cancelling; Light and compact; Huge battery life

Headband could be more padded; Auto-pause can be too sensitive and annoying; Expensive

When deciding on a pair of headphones, people either go for an over-ear model such as the Sony WH1000XM2 which surrounds your ears and almost completely blocks noises from the outside world, or an in-ear model such as the Beoplay E8 that snugly fits in your ear canal.

Excellent battery life; Luxurious materials; Light weight

Slips off your head easily; Expensive

In a very unfair comparison, I am comparing them with my four year old Bose cans, which are the only other headphones I have with active noise cancellation. B&O wins hands-down. Appearance - black, understated. My daughter doesn't like them because they aren't Beats.

I wanted to get a pair of well made, durable headphones, so I chose these -purchased them at discount. The sound is very good, noise cancelling is acceptable, and the bluetooth is easy to connect. The battery lasts as long as they say it does. No problems speaking on the telephone.
