I'm speaking about the redial feature with double click
Beoplay H8
Hmm, not impressed with the quality of my H8. On my third pair and they still squeak like a scared pig. 😡
This last replacement pair was refurbished and with a low 2511 S/N and started to sound terrible within hours.The pair before had a high S/N and they worked fine for 4-5 months or so.
And I've also noticed that when they get in to the high pitched squeaky mode, the sound quality alters adding a metallic haze over everything. And it also adds a ton of distortion on higher notes, e.g. a female vocal letting loose or an electric guitar. I think it was this "mode" that at one point when cold wind from the subway triggered them to go all in with a loop of squeakiness and I had to rip them off my head.
Starting to wonder if it's related to the shape of my ears and the feedback construction of the ANC. When removing/fastening the ear cushion triggers the high pitched noise when it gets close to the center raised black dot, maybe it's my ear that gets too close and triggers the freaky ANC squeaky mode?
But then again, when they were new it didn't seem to matter really. Everything was OK when adjusting or handling them. At least for a while.
I'll have to ask B&O if it's possible to pay a little bit extra to get the H9 instead. Maybe they have figured it all out for that model? Just know that I'm getting tired of returning them all the time...
Hi. Just to let you know I bought the H9 one week ago. I had the acoustic feedback issue just like you described. I went to the shop in London to have it replaced straight and I still have the problem. I explained to the manager that I did not wanted to send them away with UPS as It makes it my problem where it should be a B&O problem really. so they gave me a new pair but 5 min after tried it... still the same issue. I don't know if it's an hardware issue or what as I believe most of it is shared with the H8 or if it's my ears... as apparently no body at the job managed to reproduce the issue... and we tried 3 different person. I don't know what to do. Shall I actually return it again or it this some kind of default with the way the ANC work with B&O (which by the way makes it unusable) ?
Hi ppl,
I'm about to buy new pair of H8 headphones.
the serial number of an item is : 265XX721. How do u recommend, would it be a good pair of headphones according to serial number?!
Another issue is that the packing of the item looks like original but still it differs from the majority that I've seen on the net. you can see the image bellow. How do u think is it genuine ?!

I mean that it differs from this packing << which is more frequent ...and what about the S/N BTW?
It has Bluetooth logo on the right bottom and the first picture i've posted above has some writings...
thank you!
thx for the response
Hi guys,
I'm trying to figure out the correct sequence of actions to switch between (previously paired) devices. I use my H8 with iPhone 7 and MacBook Pro 2016, but whenever I need to switch between the two, I'm still not sure what to do: do I have to just press the switch once (or twice?), press and hold it, do I have to force the connection on the device side (e.g. click Connect in MacBook bluetooth settings). I just randomly do something until the H8 gets connected to the right device. Is there a beautiful and seamless way to switch correctly? ) Thanks!
Cheers,
-Ilya
