Hi all,
It might be the end of my H8 nightmare. I received a brand new replacement pair yesterday (my 3rd pair of H8) from Denmark, 3 and a half weeks after I sent my H8 to the repair shop here in the US. Thankfully, they are one the good side serial-wise. I will report in a few days after I do some extensive testing.
😁Well I am a happy fish now! On my flight from Helsinki to Oslo, and Oslo to Alta, I have not experienced a single drop out.
Hope this works for you Thibault, now with a good S/N. My replacement pair certainly does not drop BT connection anymore.
On the other hand I can't help noticing that the left channel is slightly stronger then the right one, which makes the sound coming from slighly left, like from 11 o'clock. Still hope these need more burn-in and that this will adjust by itself with time.. Strange really because I keep reading that H8 have been manually balanced - and here I am, the my pair of headphones that is stereo-wise off balance our of dosens I have owned...
Anyone else experienced off-balanced soundstage.
Now I have used my new H8 travelling a few times. No dropout so far 🙂
So no I think we can say Bluetooth is working as it should.
Will they make the NC better? Is it software or hardware problem? I don`t expect it to be as good as Bose, but the sound when I`m walking is driving me crazy. It is not possible to use NC when walking..
No more dropouts for me. I am also quite happy with NC. After 3 different pairs of H8s in 8 months, I believe it is finally the end of my H8 nightmare!
Hooray 😁😁😁No more dropouts for me. I am also quite happy with NC. After 3 different pairs of H8s in 8 months, I believe it is finally the end of my H8 nightmare!
😁Four flights without dropouts
Hi, I've got the H8 since x-mas, and have experienced annoying dropouts when using these with my Samsung smartphone. Not that much dropouts when using the H8 with my iPad, but it is more convenient to use Spotify on the mobile than on the iPad when travelling....
The Samsung supports aptX, but only BT 4.0. The H8 now supports BT 4.2 in the latest sw upgrade.
My question is: If replacing my smartphone, should I go for an iPhone 6s or a Samsung S7 (with BT4.2 and aptX) to have the best listening experience (i.e. least dropouts) with the H8?
