Beoplay H8

Just had a play with the H8 at my dealer this morning, they sound very good,bit of a difference in sound going form noise canceling on to off,being very left handed will take a bit of getting used to right handed control.

Ordered a pair coming next week.

What I found after using it a bit, if I use my thumb instead of my index finger it works flawless. Maybe thats because it has more surface area.

Sound wise I like them, noise canceling works, I had my dryer on and the noise from it got muted. There is no hissing when you are listening to quiet periods of music.

Only disappointment is that there is no travel case to store the thing, the little bag may not be enough protection when on the road.

 

 

Does the Beoplay H8 support aptX low latency?

Can some one tell us how they sound compared to the h6?

Thanks

Please ..... don't 😉

Could someone who already owns a pair answer this question for me? Does the 3.5 jack lead included have an inline remote and mic? Thanks. 

It doesnt. The microphone is built into the headphones.

The way the plug looks you won't have an "IOS Iphone" type of remote so the extended controls that happen via tapping the side of the headphone won't work. It just has 3 sections on the plug, I think for any kind of remote function you need 4 just like on the apple earphone plugs.

Why not use a plug from H6's?

Good point. In theory, could any lead from a pair of headphones that has four sections on the plug be used?

Definitely, BeoPlay H8 sounds better with more bass and dynamic. The noise cancelling works perfectly. 🤒
