Bang & Olufsen Beoplay E8 2.0 Truly Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds and Charging Case - Natural

Are today's children spoiled or what? Anyway it gladdened his little heart. He had been reading reviews and settled on this one. He keeps reciting the ad copy literature to me. I have told him that it is all hype. Never believe the advertising - it's all designed to make you buy. I picked up an old document holder and said "this premium quality, flagship model, unique, bendable, - as it was broken - document holder is state-of-art quality, engineered to give an enhanced experience" or some such gibberish. We laughed, and I hope I have set him on the way to future frugality and acquiring a healthy dose of skepticism towards ad copy. Wanting something is always so much better than having it. The copy never translates into the actual item being sold. Maybe it is just me. Most of my Amazon spends are on my nephew. Until he grows up. But for the pleasure the thing has given, I give it 5 stars.

The pair I ordered was faulty, its incredibly strange because Bang & Olufsen are testing every product before it goes on sale. Nonetheless the left bud was disconnecting after 30 seconds. I first thought it was too much interferences in my house, so I too them in the woods .... same thing happened. I eventually sent them back to Amazon for a refund. other than that the sound was just great ! I suppose its Bang & Olufsen after all

Not as good as I hoped lacking punch B&O make great speakers but these never seem to go high enough or have enough bass.

Excellent sound would not recommend for outdoors activities or gym as these will fall out love the case made of high quality leather only thing Ive noticed is I've had these less than a year and I'm needing to charge them more but other than that excellent

I purchased this in late April 2021 and have probably used it 10-15 times now that it is late Aug 2021. I normally just listen to music or broadcast while doing chores, not particularly high volume. The Beoplay E8 2.0 battery would literally die within 2 hours (not even close to the 4hrs indicated life). Comparing to the few other wireless earbuds I have (Jabra, Sony etc.) this battery life is ridiculous as most would at least survive 3-4 hours if not more. Even a 20gbp soundpeats from amazon performs better in this regard. To make matters worse, the low-life sound notification is really unclear, resulting in sudden shut-down of the Beoplay E8 2.0. 1/5 for me and will not recommend.

Beautiful looking great presentation amazing sound just such a shame they were defective so now I’ve lost all confidence in that make.

Bought these in February for using at the gym. Used between 15-20 times pre-lockdown. I’ve got small ears so they were uncomfortable and didn’t stay in, so I had to buy different covers, got Comply and much better, found that they fitted well and stayed in position. Sound quality good, noise cancellation, not so good. Controls a bit slow/laggy...but ok for what I needed them for. Bit as good as I was expecting, but good enough. Felt slightly disappointed but not enough to fuss with returning them and like I said nice sound quality. Then covid hit and these got put away, in their case, in the drawer. I’ve just bought an exercise bike with Bluetooth compatibility so I can exercise at home, got these out to charge today and they’re totally dead. The lights on the charging case unit won’t even illuminate. Tried different plugs and sockets throughout the house but nothing. Very disappointed due to the extremely limited use these have had. Wouldn’t recommend based on this. A shame as prior to this I hadn’t had any problems with them once I got new tips and didn’t really use the controls too much in the gym so their slow response didn’t worry me too much anyway.. But they’re obviously not reliable and they really should be for the £200 I paid for them. So I am wary of re-ordering headphones from B&O again.Edited - Amazon helpful chat service and am now sending these back for full refund and buying AirPods Pro.

They sound great, possibly slightly better than the first edition as I also had these. I've honestly never used wireless headphones with such good base. The USB-C and wireless charging is an added bonus compared the first edition of these. The case is also overall more premium.
