I just received my replacement pair from Beoplay as my old had bluetooth issues. The difference seems to be amazing. This is the H8 I was waiting for! Really it seems to be working properly. Walked to the other side of the apartment (about 20 meters with a few walls) no single dropout. 

After the weekend I'll do some testing in public transport and walking. I'll report here later on. 

Have a great weekend, mine will be great with this perfect set of headphones.

Great to hear Roy but are they on the right side of the S/N spectrum? Have you checked?

Have a great weekend you to (and all of BeoWorld) 

Yes Michael, they are! ;) Checked as soon as they arrived here.

Roy

Awesome!

Good to hear ... I am still waiting to buy one. Let us know your s/n. I want not go to my dealer and grab a old one.

Many Thanks

Thomas

It has the serial that falls within the parameter given in some posts before this one. Have been testing it in public transport these two days. Seriously, not a single dropout, which is quit an improvement 8-). If anyone has any doubts about buying one, just do it! It's worth the money now!

Just recieved the reply from the B&O support. They confirmed that there is an improved H8 released and that they will replace my headphones with a pair of new ones.

Great news for me, will report when they have arrived.

These are all fantastic news. Btw just got a confirmation from the retailer today they are issueing a refund for H8 I bought at Heathrow.

Now I can buy a pair with a "higher" SN or even maybe think of H7 Cenere Gray. Either way: great to know H8 will be working properly now.

Will the H8 eventually come in Cenere Grey I wonder. The H7s look amazing in their new colour. 

I now have the updated H8´s. This far no dropouts, but to early to say for sure. I think the ANC feature has changed a bit, it sounds different, at least I think so.

and they are black :)
