It's not good news, sadly.  

I explained to BeoCare that I installed an appropriate Airport/Bluetooth card in my MBP 15" early 2011 to make it BT 4.0, and that this made absolutely no difference in wireless performance.  A Bluetooth expert on his site explained that I shouldn't have had to do this, but since I did and there was no difference it definitely wasn't the laptop.  

Now then, despite my explaining that I found out about numerous incidents where people who recently acquired H8s were experiencing sound drops from wireless use in various equipment (either/or iOS 8 or OS X platform products), here is the response from Christian at BeoCare:  

"I received feedback from Denmark, In principle a Bluetooth 4.0 enabled product with A2DP Bluetooth profile should be able to send music to the BeoPlay H8. Practical tests have shown a very differentiated market picture. Most newer computers with updated software and adequate hardware should be able to connect to BeoPlay H8, but we are not able to recommend or support this setup.

Please let us know what happens when you fully test out your new pair.  As you can see from my post earlier today, BeoCare says they do not support Bluetooth connectivity with computers.  

Mark, I don't think anyone would dispute that Bluetooth can be a stable environment for streaming.  Rather, there appears to be manufacturers who take shortcuts that result in less-than-optimal performing products.  Such is the case with B&O, I suspect.

They are being sold as a bluetooth headphone. Not a bluetooth headphone for mobile-phones..

I completely agree.  They just didn't think this one through, OR, they said screw it and they get what they get.  Yes they are very comfortable.  I will be asking for another pair once I get a sense they've made new ones.

What a load of bull shizzle. Not from you... So what's the point of them then ? Just a product that people will be disappointed in ? Grrrr

I was thinking of getting a pair because my beats are too firm on my head.

The picture advertisement shows the guy and he has a mobile phone on the table

An iPod is a iPhone without the phone so would that not even work

I have the same problem. Just receive the H8 directly from Beoplay.com. You can't play one song without a audio Drop-Out. 

I will sent them back to Beoplay...
