Hi folks,
New B&O user here, just got a pair of H5 earphones to replace my Airpods. I just couldn't get the Airpods to seal properly in my ears so they always felt like they were about to fall out, and I didn't get the full sound from them unless I was pushing them into my ear, as soon as I let go they unsealed again.
I found the medium Comply earbuds to give me a perfect fit and seal with the H5's, and I love the sound.
My only niggles with the H5 are:
- Cable noise, I'm still playing with the cable and how to wear it best, it is quite annoying. Maybe a smooth sleeve over the braided cord would improve it by reducing the friction against clothes.
- Switching between paired devices.
I only use my H5's with an iPhone and an iPad during my commute. Both devices paired perfectly first time, however I'm not sure if I'm switching between them properly. When I try to change from my iPhone to my iPad, I first try tapping the H5s in the iPad's bluetooth list but it always fails to connect even though they are already paired. I find that I have to long-press the middle button on the H5's, and THEN tap on the H5's in the iPad's bluetooth list. And the same when I switch back to my iPhone. Is this normal? Is there a faster way to switch between already-paired devices?
The iPhone BeoPlay app is showing I have firmware 5.0.7 on my H5's, I have never seen any updates available, is this the latest?
I really want to like these more, nearly went for the E8's because of the anticipated cable-noise but the E8's seem to be plagued with drop-out issues.
Any tips appreciated, thanks.
Charlie
