3. call quality - I took a call from my wife on the train yesterday, and she couldnt hear my voice clearly but could hear all the ambient noise in the train.

Having this problem too and it’s very annoying. 

I've have this issue also - I noticed the distortion in the right channel immediately after purchase.  Hopefully it is something to do with bluetooth connectivity and can be corrected via a firmware update.  Not something you would expect from B&O. Considering returning it. Shame.

Anyone else having this problem? People whom I'm on the phone with claim my voice gets completely lost in the background noise. It's almost as if the transparency microphone Is too sensitive and picks up more outside noise than your voice.

Its so annoying to have a love for a Brand that isn't technically reliable.

Considering that when i fell in love with B&O was a time where the TVs lasted for over a decade and still sounded and looked amazing, were heavy, made with quality materials and had the wow factor.

I told one of my friends to buy the E8 Headphones and within a month he sold them and bought the Apple AirPods and couldn't stop telling me how great the apple headphones were over the B&O.

I have the H5s which are great when your sunbathing or standing still but as soon as your move your head you get nothing but cable noise!

I genuinely love the sound and look of all B&O products, but the software and lack of easy to spot problems baffles me!!!

Rant over (Sips a G&T)

Hello, I believe I’m running into a few issues with my earbuds as well, it seems like the bass on the right earphone gets distorted. Could anyone give the track Treefingers by Radiohead a listen and see if the right channel struggles at all. Many thanks.

 

 

Hi, I have this issue too.  Only noticed on a couple of tracks, but it does seem to be the right bud with certain low frequencies.  Lorde's "Buzzcut Season" and Taylor Swift's "New Year's Day" both exhibit some faint cracking.  Not sure what to do about it...  

 

 

 

Hello, I know this is three years late, but did you end up finding a solution? I'm experiencing the same thing with my first gen E8's on the aforementioned tracks and also Bay of Pigs, by Destroyer. I sent them in for repair but they claimed there were no defects and wouldn't help me at all.

Thanks
