Already mentioned in the 'New Products'-thread but I think it warrants its own topic: the new 3rd Gen BeoPlay H9.

Some information:

Special Voice Assist-button (for Google Assistant or Siri) AptX Refined aluminum disc with updated edge chamfer (easier to adjust volume) Updated ear cushions Updated headband PROXIMITY SENSOR: An intelligent feature that automatically pause the sound when you take off the headphones and starts playing when you put them back on. TRANSPARENCY MODE: Allows you to listen to your surroundings whenever you want, with a single touch of a button. IMPROVED ACTIVE SOUND CANCELLATION: More powerful noise reduction at low frequencies, eliminating human voices more efficiently. IMPROVED SOUND QUALITY: We have introduced a new bassport with deeper and more powerful bass and added a dedicated microphone that improves sound quality. USB-C-CHARGER NOW WITH 1,25 M. CABLE: Compatible with all our BT speakers. With a longer charger cable, you can use your headphones while charging. BATTERYLIFE: An additional four hours of playback with Bluetooth and active noise cancellation turned on. We have extended the playtime significantly with optimal circuit design and increased battery capacity. DUAL DEVICE CONNECTIVITY AND LARGE BT RANGE: You can connect your H9i wirelessly with two devices at the same time, and with an improved range, you can now stream music further from your device without interruptions.

Seems like a very good update! Lots of extra features.

You can find some info here: 

I have been wanting the H9i but the connectivity issues I read about have scared me off. Was waiting for a major update like this so I could take a closer look.

I'm tired of wrestling with my H3 ANC cable along with the silly Apple adapter.

BT 4.2?

Finally they support Apt-X! Great! Thank you Bang & Olufsen!

Will it need a google setup because of the assistant button or can it be used/setup without?

Regarding the bass port: I hope they don't sound like beats headphones! I don't want a subwoofer on my head. 😕

I'm confused though. Yes, again. Does this mean the very recently release bronze edition H9i's are the previous generation? So they've just released these, then released an updated version soon after? Again?
