Beoplay H8

I have this exact issue as well. Switching between the two, right now, is quite awkward. Any tips/pointers to get it to be more seamless, or at least to get the procedure documented and repeatable would be awesome.

I actually ran into this last night (MBP and iPhone). I think the easiest way is to turn the H8 into Bluetooth discovery mode (flashing blue light), and hit connect on your device's BT settings.

If I'm not mistaken, quickly flipping the switch to BT on the H8 will only toggle BT on or off. That said, if both previously paired devices are on, and within the same vicinity of the H8 when you turn on BT, the H8 will just connect to whichever it sees first (and pretty randomly). 

Have anybody tried if it is possible to use ear cushion from H9? It looks like it should be the same when I look at pictures.

Is it possible to check which software you have? 

Nobody knows?

Late arrival to the entire H8 scene.  Got a set of open box Gray Hazel with SN 25127xxx.  In looking at this forum to see if I should keep or return, I noticed that the Gray Hazel fix shows a 7-digit serial number. Could the fix have been implemented at 25124849? That seems more aligned to the Argilla Bright serial number.  As a side note, the only Bluetooth issues I have had is when I have wandered away from my device...maybe 15 to 20 feet.  Overall, I am very happy with them.

Still haven't  figured out if it is possible. Can`t find a pair of H9 to test.

  •  Hi, I have ordered a Beoplay H8 from you and recieved it yesterday, after using the headphones for one day i have ran into an issue, today i was using my headphones with bluetooth for the first time and it started to blink orange, blue and red. i tried resetting, charging and taking the battery out. No succes, i have not dropped it and it has not been in contact with water. With kind regards, NewBO

Hello everyone, 

I have an issue with my BeoPlay H8s and was wondering whether anyone can reproduce it.

For some time now, my H8s haven't saved their SoundTouch settings, which means I have to apply my SoundTouch settings whenever I turn them on.

The real problem starts, when I turn my H8s on and adjust the settings before playing music. Whenever I do this, my phone will show playback after starting music but there is no sound coming from the H8 and they can't be turned off anymore, except when I take out the battery. 

I was able to reproduce this behaviour on 3 devices (iPhone X, iPhone 6, iPad Air) all running the lastest iOS and BeoPlay App. 

After sending my H8s in three times the tech support finally acknowledged there was a problem and sent me a brand new pair (thanks!). However, these brand new H8s exhibit the exact same problem. 

So lang story short: Is anyone able to reproduce this behaviour?
