10-hour flight from Oslo to Bangkok, and I get a 2-year old next to me. This will be the most extreme test of the H8's ever!

At least you'll have some more reasonable conversation with a 2 year old than some others 😁

Safe flight Leo.

Happy Songkran

The weather will change a little now from when I was in Thailand a few weeks ago.

Picked up a set of H8's this weekend for the my constantly flights.  These are really exceptional headphones.  A pleasantly neutral, but still very warm response, perfect mids, and a exceptionally wide stage.  

Bluetooth is a little finicky on re-connecting on the iPhone 6, but i think this is more of an OS problem.

Excellent cans and well worth the premium.  Now the problem is my girlfriend is dying for the rose gold versions for herself :)

However the rose gold ones are H6 and not H8. So if Bluetooth is not an issue and she's happy to use the lead then it's all good 😁

@chris ....

I don't understand the problem

Treasure and nurture the passion

And you might be as lucky as the other Chris whose wife wants BL5s in their bedroom !

I'd go the H8 for the noise cancelling.

I have now been flying with both, and I agree. The noise canceling is a killer future! The H6 wins on comfort, tho. I can wear them for many, many hours without adjusting them. Almost don't notice them.

But bluetooth is the future.

I tried my H8 over the long weekend and there were massive number of drop out. Luckily I tried using another receiver paired to the same Bluetooth transmitter and there was constant drop outs too. The only difference was that the other receiver will manage to get lock back after the drop outs whereas the H8 will lose connection totally after a number of drop outs.

Btw I was at home in my bedroom at night and we only have one wifi network.

From my H8 unit/situation it looks like it's not B&O fault. I'm now looking for a better transmitter for my tv
