I think they are at least the same. Probably better. Depends of course how loud you play them. I usually have them between 70-100%, and I don´t hear too much of the outside world.

Much better. I have both H6 and H8 and since H8 presses against your ears there is less noise coming in. Plus the noice cancellation feature.

The dropouts however, are getting silly. Sometimes no problem at all, at some places I can't listen to anything, there is only dropouts, and in some places only dropouts sometimes. 

Any news guys? Dutch dealer has stopped sales as all of them came back. Still want one tough, propperly working that is.

I picked up a pair of Beoplay H8 3 days ago. The sound quality is fantastic and I couldn't be happier...

But I have the drop-out issue worse then ever. I cannot have my phone or computer more then 3 feet from the H8 without constant dropouts. In my apartment it is "okay" but when I walk outside around town, they drop out every second or two. I have contacted my local BO store and will replace them.

Hopefully the second pair doesn't have this problem.

Good luck!  

I'm waiting for my 3rd pair now.... supposedly a new batch being delivered later this week.  

I am lying down with my macbook in my lap. The macbook and the H8´s are 40 cm aparts, and the msuic sounds like a chainsaw. Have contacted BeoCare. It was fun as long as it lasted 🙁

Reading through this thread it seems as the Bluetooth problems are 99% while using the headphones with Apple products. Ok, Apple will sell it as a feature - as always - but it would be nice to know if NON Apple user suffer from the same problems!? 

I can't imagine that B&O did NOT made any proper testing of bluetooth in crowded places.

I'm using a Sony MW1 headset and used a SonyEricsson MW600 before. They both had absolutely no problems in crowded places with transferring music, control, calls etc. I used it with a Blackberry, a Sony phone and a Sony Walkman. They played my B&O A8 headphones just nice for years.

And believe me: Traveling in a chinese train IS a crowded place. ;-)

Hi All, 

I am very close to purchasing these headphones, the only thing holding me back are the BT issues everyone seems to be having.  Have B&O confirmed its an issue with a batch? I've had a look on other forums and its no clear. 

To All - Should I wait until B&O fix the BT issue before I purchase?

BTW- I have an iPhone 6 which I will be using for the headphones everyday on the train to work.
