Hey Michael,

What I've noticed it's not really drop outs... It sRena that the control is the part that goes nuts.

the songs seems to skip forward and back and sometimes even pause.

at least that's what seems to be happening to me.

i'm also using iPhone 6.  I'll be testing out with my Note 4 too.

Has anyone else who's got these experienced terrible feedback when moving or adjusting the headset?

I have when noise cancelling activated. Some feedback on the left earpad but really loud sound when moving or adjusting the right one.

Qobuz French review of the new H8, for me its my second language but Google translate will do the job.

Will the brown get much warmer during sunny days than the lighter colour?

So I've had the H8 for a few days and:

• Sound is good, bass is good.
• Not as clean sound as with a cable, but its ok.
• My ears hurt after a while but it´s only noticeable when I first take them off.
• Sometimes bluetooth doesn't come on by itself.
• They are on while charging, even if turned off.
• They don't send battery status to the phone (not god, only way to find out battery status is when it is below 10% and they start to turn off/blink red).
• I accidentally call people all the time because they think I want to double click.
• I can't use Siri without having to use my phone´s home button.
• I can't turn on/off ANC with gloves for some reason.
• The new bag feels cheaper and like nylon compared to the H6 bag that feels better (cotton?).
• I want more batteries, are they special for the H8 or could I buy other brands on eBay?
• I don't like the micro-usb cable, it has a strange texture. Going to buy another one or an adaptor so I can use my lightning cable.
• The ANC is useless in wind. It makes the wind noise more obvious so in wind turn ANC off.
• Music cuts out _alot_ especially when I am outside. At least once per song, but usually more often. Not acceptable. Perhaps my phone or a bad pair of H8´s? Only noticed from my iPhone 6, not from my Mac (which uses AptX instead of AAC).  
• There is an odd label inside that only says XXXXXXX. Probably not a valid certification :P.

I totally agree with Michael.

I'm a bit surprised that only me and Michael are the only ones having problems with dropped/skipped sounds on the H8 using through Bluetooth.

I've tried with my Note 4 and same things happens.  Went to the B&O Shop and they've never heard of anything like this (obviously they don't come to this board).  The shop called their tech support, and the tech said to actually exchange mine for a new one and send it to them for analysis.

So with my brand spanking new H8... still having the same issue.  I'm noticing that his is happening when I'm outside with people around (I can be standing still)... or when I'm walking.  If I'm sitting on the train... or at home, this doesn't happen.

I still have a little time to exchange this... so I'm contemplating if I should keep this or change it for a H6 w/ DJ Kalid mod (for better Bass)

I've been away for a week and have been using my new H8's fairly extensively during that time but have not had a single dropout so far - connected via Bluetooth to my phone, an HTC One M8 (which uses AptX).

I haven't got an iphone I can try but I think I still have an ipod touch somewhere so I will see if I can try that and report back as to whether I have any issues as this might help narrow down the cause of the issues others are experiencing.

I also haven't experienced any feedback noises when adjusting the earpads (and I have tried quite hard to reproduce that problem since seeing it reported here).

I have however discovered that because the headphones are on whilst being charged - if I try to charge the H8's from my laptops USB port, whilst simultaneously listening to audio via the headphone jack, there is a lot of high frequency 'digital chatter' type background noise introduced via the USB power connection (which probably says as much about the poor filtering of my laptops 5V DC as it does about the H8's - but it would not be an issue if they remained powered off whilst charging). It's not loud, but it is significant enough to be distracting during quiet passages of the audio.

Overall I remain pretty happy with my H8's though.

I got my H8 about a month ago here in New York and this is my third pair because of the BT drops....mostly when I am outside but really bad. Tried with different players, battery levels, ANC on/offetc, inside/outsode....still present. B&O is aware of this and that is why I am on the third replacement. I do not think players I have are the problem (tried my AK100ii, AK240, apple products etc..) because all of them are OK when using my B&O A2.  Too bad this is happening; they are the best BT headphones so far but you can not take advantage of the BT feature. Not sure a firmware can fix this.
