Good points. I had forgotten about the wind noise. Like you, I think I am resigned to just using the ANC when sitting still on the train during my commute. 

Anyone have issues with them disconnecting when changing album?

I do, some times. iPhone 6, using Apple Music. I haven't experienced the problem listening to Podcasts, which I also do quite a bit. Another annoyance...

Is yours a new replacement also?

I experience the same issue when finishing an album on Apple Music (iPhone 6 on iOS 9.3 Beta 4) and starting a new one. H8 disconnect. I am pretty sure it's a software issue on the phone side though

No, they are a christmas gift obtained directly from B&O by an employee. Old serial number range.

I upgraded mine to the latest software. I got one of the first delivered in the US, I had no issues with drop outs but have to say that I use mine mostly on the plane, so common drop out issues arising from my body/arms interfering with the blue tooth wouldn't happen there

The auto connect doesn't work like with other headphones or even the A2, one needs to pull the switch on the headphone towards the blue tooth sign until it beeps once - then it will search for devices and connect again. I do not need to go into the iphone settings for this.

This might be some sort of battery saving thing, since some people may use the headphone stand alone just to cancel noise out.

I am actually fairly happy with mine, especially now that I have the little battery symbol on my iphone and know when to recharge

Cheers

Yes and yes again... (S/N 25XXXXX) They even got caught in a never ending loop with increasing volume on the windy subway platform when moving one ear piece! That hurt! Had to turn them off for 5-10s to get rid of it. And they squeak as soon as I touch/adjust the earpieces, change the volume... 🙁

Sending them to Denmark for a check. Hope they find a solution because I really like them. Back to my B&W P5 for a while now I guess...

A quick note for anyone hoping to get their H8s exchanged at a dealership in the UK. As of March 15th dealerships are no longer allowed to offer this service -the customer must arrange a courier pick-up and Beoplay will send a replacement. I was told not to worry as, 'it shouldn't take very long'.....

Just wanted to add my two cents in here - got my grey hazel H8's from Amazon UK a few days ago and I was a little anxious after reading all of these comments but mine fall into the newer serial number group and I have no issues at all with dropouts or screeching, very happy!
