And they seem to have removed the "redial last number" function 😁

Enough reason for me to buy them :D I hate that feature sooo much!

Hello,

stupid question: Whats exactly the difference between H9 and H8 (exept "redial last number") and do I have to "upgrade"?

Best regards

 

H9 is over the ears (like H7 but with noise-cancelling).

There they are! Finally! 🙂

I must admit, I have mixed feelings about these. They are no doubt excellent, and if I choose to replace my H6 these will definitely be my new ones. And I'm sure that if I do I will be really happy about them.

However, I'm not exactly blown away. They are no doubt "excellent", but they don't seem "special". Everything about them seems so predictable. We have seen them coming for a long time, and I really can't imagine why these weren't released two years ago. They fill the "over-ear, wireless, ANC" niche that has been a glaring hole in the Beoplay headphone lineup, but everything about these was bound to come, right down to the name. "Special" would be an Apple licensed W1-chip, wifi and Beolink Multiroom, or at least USB-C.

But I really do feel like a hater, writing this. I'm sure it is just me who's expecting too much. Looking forward to try them and get a feel for the sound quality. 🤒

-h.

I prefer micro-USB over USB-C, but not both (having A1).

Maybe they are trying to follow Apple? By the latest MacBook and the iPhone 7 and you will need to sets of wired headphones.

It's a minor thing anyway.

I'm more interested if they will sound the same or have more omph-omph.. 😁

H9 and H7 has the same battery.

With only Bluetooth H9 plays up to 16 hours while H7 plays up to 20.

Hmm..

To clarify my point: the competition in the high end/luxury segment of wireless headphones has tightened a lot lately. And while I'm sure these will compete well, being a beofanboy I would have loved to see B&O release something that just blew the competition away. A "beolab 90" of headphones if you will, a technological tour de force. And I'm worried that, though really really good, these are not. 😛
