I've had these earphones for a couple of weeks now and I really want to like them, but I'm having some problems and wanted to see if anybody is having the same ones. First, the battery seems to be really poor, I wish I could get the even half of the 5 hours quoted by B&O. I use them with the volume at about 85%, and I'm lucky to see 2 hours before the dreaded 50% volume drop. Is there a workaround this? (other than using them at 50% all the time). The second issue I'm having is call quality of the mic, but the problem is for whoever I call, as it picks up a massive amount of background noise. Are these problems for all H5's or am I unlucky and have a dud pair? Thanks for any help guys

To check battery i would let them run entirely dry and see, dropping after 2 hours to 50% could be about right.
Backround noise I havent noticed, but sofar my environments weren't that noisy to be honest.
I've got a bit less than 2.5 hours out of mine at about 75% volume before they drop to low battery volume level.
Hi guys,
To me the H5's are for running/training. As I don't train longer than 2,5 hours it is not a problem to me. I can see the problem when you don't use the H5's for training though. I used the H5's for calling also, but mostly when I'm running in the forest where it is pretty quiet.
Regards,
Roy

Thanks for your help guys. I ended up taking them to B&O and they said they were faulty and to return them. Hopefully the next pair will be better
Hello! Please help me understand. I can not find the multipoint function on headphones Beoplay H5. I want to connect two phones to them.
In addition, I can not find how to update the firmware of headphones. The manual states that this is possible, but I could not find.
Thanks in advance!
I recently noticed that tone settings are not preserved after a power off, is it the case for other users? I think it is a consequence of the latest firmware upgrade

Recently got my H5s and I have the same issue. Sent a ticket to B&O support, awaiting response. Did you solve your issue? If so, how?
Cheers,
I opened a ticket (Ticket # 2058381) last July, they ack the issue and said that engineering will have a look at it. No news since .... I sent them a reminder.
In the meantime, I'm setting the tone each time I power it up.
I'll keep you posted in this thread.
