I agree they look to be winners. Personally the ANC is more of an attraction than the wireless/bluetooth etc. I would expect the audio performance to be better than Bose headphones - the killer spec to make it a no-brainer is to out perform Bose at noise cancellation, they have managed to beat off all competitors to date!

Wow these are really exciting! I will be lining up for a brown pair. I love Wagners designs. 

Brown is normally a color I don't even consider, but these brown H8s are classy and beautiful. Will buy for sure.

p.s. Thanks to Millemissen for hinting Bluetooth cans are in the pipeline. I love them! :)

Very nice. Almost the same features as the most advanced blotch headphones I Knew (Parrot Zik 2 : yes, they already had gesture control), but with the nice and timeless H6 design.

My only concern? I would want to keep the H8 for a very long time if I bought it, so I ould have preferred it to have the latest USB socket which seems to soon replace every USB socket and is bidirectional.

But otherwise, well done.

Surprised this thread has dropped off the front page - a bump from me as I think these could do really well (subject to satisfactory wireless and noise cancelling performance obviously)!

They look great! Looking forward to seeing/listening to these!

They do look great. But how many will upgrade from H6 to H8? 

Too high a turnover of products for me!

Except, I think, there is a decent size market for active noise cancelling headphones among your middle-management type where brand and reputation is more important than having you head popped like a grape by an overly tight headband!

If these perform they could do really well - the benchmark is Bose, I'd be really disappointed if these didn't thump Bose from a audio point of view, but Bose have always held the high ground WRT noise cancelling - a good performance there could reset the bar, generate good sales whilst making those Bose owners in Business Class desperate to upgrade or else appear not quite as successful as they'd like to appear!!
