I was having a similar problem, and I'm not sure if it's come up in the thread so far (it's huge), but I unscrewed the right ear cap (which just twists off), and locked it back into place.  Not only did the quality improve, but the range picked up significantly, adding about a further 5m to the distance I could go before it dropped out.  I also had an occasional squeak {only way I can describe it} and that has disappeared too...  I have absolutely no idea if it's a coincidence, but it's got to be worth trying...

Sadly, R-Girl, this did not work for me 🙁

I can't believe it. 500 EUR headphones with fundamental flaw and B&O does not find it appropriate to address it at least via some statement.

Just disgraceful.

Well I have been using my H8 now for over 2 months, almost everyday, and I can advise that if I use my Motorola phone with the headphones on bluetooth, I get terrible issues with interuptions and drop outs, (the only way to mitigate it was to turn off WiFi, Location and 4G!) still had issues whenever I wnet through busy stations on the train! It did improve slightly when i was upgraded to Andorid 5.1, but still not perfect.

As the battery on my mobile ran out too quickly using bluetooth, I decided to buy an iPod Nano, and what a difference!  No drop outs, no interuptions, it is a joy!  I also do not get issues with my Laptop using a bluetooth adapter (it also uses wifi to connect to the interent, and no issues there either), and as such I don't think thew blame for the bluetooth issues can simply be put at B&O's door, unless i am simply being lucky!

Now I am free to listen to my music perfectly without anyissues, and my mobile battery lasts! The only pain is not being able to use the H8's for chatting on the phone, as they were great for that, but a small price to pay for flawless music delivery!

Also saw a guy the other day, nudge his wife as I walked down the stairs at the tube station, and point to me and as I had the headphones round my neck I heard him say "Look, those are the headphones I want!" Also love the fact you get left alone by Chuggers and the like, as they presume you can't hear them!

I have tried my H8 using my Apple IPhone 6 Plus and haven't had any drop out so far. Using other third party transmitters I get plenty of drop outs. I haven't tried it with my laptops yet.

That's a pity, mine is now working quite well, though I do have the occasional dropout when I "launch" my iPhone (if I'm listening on my MacBook), must send a spike in the bluetooth signal...

I ordered a pair of H8 (and H2) from my danish dealer the other day. Luckily they were both in stock. I'm not picking them up until next month though (the H2 is a present, so I don't want to give away any clues to what she's getting by bringing home the H8).
