Not yet, my hair isn't long enough.

Someone on one of the H8 posts reported that drop outs were cured by using Sennheiser BTD 500 USB.  THIS. IS. TRUE.  I bought one and it works well with my MacBook Pro 15" (early 2011).  Changing the Bluetooth/Airport card was useless--even according to Sennheiser (who, BTW, also manufactures BT headsets) who will recommend getting this small dongle for folks who would like to listen to music from their laptops using their own headsets.  Further, the BT in the MacBooks were not meant for the kind of data exchange for fine headphones, but, rather, for keyboards, mice and other peripherals.  

Having a sound drop issue using BT?  Get one of these dongles and put yourself out of misery.  Range works like it should and the only down side is that none of the "geniuses" at Apple, nor the folks at Bang-Olufsen, will tell you about this easy, $50 fix.  Shameful.  

Pair the dongle with the H8s AFTER you remove the H8s from your MacBook, then turn off the laptop's Bluetooth until the pairing between the H8s and Sennheiser dongle is complete.  Really easy.

All is well once again. 

I have a 2010 MacBook and now the new Retina MacBook and i've never experienced any sound drop out over the last three years using my Beats Studio Bluetooth headphones and a Logitech bluetooth adaptor to my hifi amp. It's definitely not an Apple problem!

That's great, Paul.  But, then again, Beats are not Bang-Olufsen H8s.

Did anyone had the opportunity to try H8 with AppleWatch?

Just curious about bluetooth performance and (possible) droputs.

The fact that people have success pairing/using the H8´s with WATCH doesn't mean the H8´s are working as they should. 

The drop out issues are dependent on the current environment. Factors such as radio interference, and distance for example are matters that play a big role. I have even noticed that drop outs occur more often in windy environments than in the same environment when there is no wind there.
