I also had Dropouts with my Retina Macbook Pro. After some Testing I found out that its not a Problem with the Headphone or the Bluetooth Chip on the Macbook. Its maybe a Osx Problem (Yosemite in my Case). Maybe the Osx Bluetooth Driver is the Problem. What I did was I installed Windows 8.1 with Bootcamp(Latest Bootcamp Drivers), paired the Headphones and played some Music with the WMP. Result was Cristal clear Sound and no Dropouts. So apparently Apple has to do the Fix here.
Unfortunately this is not the solution. Drop outs happen with different computers, different phones (not only iPhones) and sometimes it all works great. For example I have no problems for long periods and sometimes it will come back, especially in places with a lot of things that can disturb the signal. I'd say the problem is indeed with the antenna in the H8's, the buffer memory or something else. Perhaps even a combination of the things. Remember antennagate? The drivers for windows may or may not be better but I seriously doubt it will help with the drop outs where I want to use my noise canceling h8s (namely crowded areas😁). Neither would I want windows as a main system on my Mac!

Never said that this is the Solution. I did this to isolate the Problem. Who wants Windows as their main System on a Mac? ;)
Im using the H8s for 3 weeks now and never had Dropouts on IOS based Hardware only on Macs. Did you try another Pair of H8s?
What i will do next is to try the pubic El Capitan Beta.
Nope, haven't replaced them and lots of people are having the issue. I suppose the issue could be related to "one"'worker doing something wrong with the antenna or so. But I doubt it.I run 10.11 (I'm a developer) and I can try it a bit. My issue on the Mac is mainly while playing videos. Music are not a bit issue.I've had the H8 since they came out. Don't remember now but quite long.Also notices that mine doesn't turn on properly sometimes. (You notice because the touch features won't work and no Bluetooth and while powering of it makes a strange sound).

I've debugged those cans and BT radio is one to blame. I've did my measurements and RSSI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Received_signal_strength_indication) unveils it. I can upload my measurements and instruct sb if one wants to test them on their own.
I'm about to get me some new headphones as my Form 1 are once again falling apart. I like H8, but worried with this talk about drop outs. Do they still suffer from this? I got an email today from B&O (an advirtesment mail, not a personally mail) announcing H8 is back in stock. Does this mean they fixed the problems with the drop outs?
My early June H8s do drop out. However I still love them. I now use them both wired and unwired. I have not worked out why sometimes they drop out and sometimes with seemingly similar activities they are rock steady. Still their noise reduction (on ear isolation), noise cancelling, and bass make them a great buy - for me.

Thank you for your answer!
I also use them wired and wireless. Mainly wired as I think it preserves the battery. They paid for themselves on my trip to Hong Kong and Japan with the noise cancelling on the plane.
