Haha yes. Well I had the same thought but I like the look of them on my head actually. But I could do without the gold. Probably getting the darker ones to play it safe. If any. I don't really need more headphones but I swear everyday about the damn cables :D. 

Don't think battery life will be better on my iphone with wireless headphones tough. But I am curious, perhaps the battery life won't be affected much. I mean having to send the audio over bluetooth instead of amplifying it - perhaps it takes the same amour of energy, perhaps even less.. 

Which colour did you go for Michael?

Although I don't have any H8's yet to compare (waiting and waiting and waiting on the darker ones), I can say I am somewhat disappointed in the performance of my H6s on a plane.  Maybe if you're flying 1st class on a jumbo jet, they'd be OK.  Back in coach on a 767 (and smaller), enough of the drone comes through that you might as well be listening to mediocre headphones.  I went back to my in-ear yamaha's for air travel because they sound better (to me) because they block more of the noise and are easier to carry.  Still really like the H6s at my desk or other reasonably quiet areas, but noise cancelling, they are not.

Btw:  I am curious how comfortable H8 feel for those who wear glasses? (...completely forgot on that aspect).

Well I am a glasses wearer, and I have purchased a pair of H8's (the Agrilla Brights, as they were the last pair Hanover Square in London had!) and they are OK to wear, but after a while they do become noticble, and I simply re-adjust them.  I poppoed into the Nrompton Road store trying to get the brown Peak bag and stand from Hard Graft (finally manged to get one from BeoPlay website and they look amazing!) and they asked how I was getting used to them,and I likended it to breaking in a pair of good quality shoes, which is working for me.  I wear them for around an hour or so before my ears get warm and I need to readjust and rub my ears.  One note of caution, if you are like me and swap your galsses for presription sungalsses, be carweful when removing the glasses, as they tend to get stuck, I have to remove the H8's first, then swap glasses/sunglasses, as I nearly dropped the H8's! In conclusion, I wouldn't go back to any normal headphones, they make everything I listen too (music, audio books, TV) much richer and I am not contstantly pushing in ear headphones back into my ears, as they tend to slip out all the time.

I have noticed the BT dropouts, but only when using my Moto G which has Lollipop 5.02 and I thoink it is more of an issue with that versuion as other Moto G Lollipo users have said that after they upgraded to Lollipop from KitKat, they noticed that BT dropdded out a lot, no matter what device they were trying to connect to.  If i use the H8's with my Win 8.1 laptop with a Kinivo BT 4.0 USB dongle I get no droputs at all from the H8's or if used with a 1st Gen Tesco Hudl, and a Samsung Galaxy tab on Kitkat.  I am hoping that when Moto finally ugdate to lollipop 5.1 howpfully next week, they BT issue will go away!  All I do when it happens, is stop playing music, and close the app (google music) and restart, and the dropouts stop.

I am also waiting for the BT adapter that is being brought out to let me use the H8's with my BV3 32" and my LG TV, hopefully next week they will be in B&O stores in London.

Which BT adapter....in B&O stores?

Could you be a bit more specific?

Well apparently a non B&O technical guy has come up with an adapter that plugs into the headphone socket that allows the H8's to work in Bluetooth mode.  I can't remember the name of the person or company that are making the adapter, but Hanover Square (they first told me about it), Brompton Road and Harrods branches mentioned it, and they said it was due in April this year, as they have been testing it on both non bluetoothed B&O equipment and non B&O equipment.  I did ask Harrods if they knew the cost, and they said around £35.

I did email Hanover Squatre to ask them to advise me when it is in stock, and i will keep chasing them, propbaly toward the end of next week, and i wiull post details here pf how you cna hold of it!

It means I cna get both my BV3 32" and LG TV to use the H8's in Bluetooth mode, as I have a Bletooth dongle on my LG TV for their magic remote, but it doesn't see the H8's!

Looking forward to the results of that test
