The headband on H9 is definitely H7- or H6 gen2-like.

It is not the tight H6 gen1 sort of seal, this one more loose - comfortable, yet not so stabile on the head.

Potential first-time B&O customer here. How would the H9 work when paired via Bluetooth to a Mac as far as "talking" functionality goes? Would it function as a wireless headset for Skype and FaceTime voice and videoconferencing?

Hi everyone,

Is anyone able to answer this - Is the ANC on the H9's bypassed when they are wired?

One of the reasons I wan to upgrade from my H6s is for the ANC - however as I fly a lot and actually enjoy watching the films on the IFE, I would still like to benefir from this feature when I plug them into the armrest!

Thanks so much,

Hi,

if the ANC is as bad as previous B&O headphones with this functionality you are better off to choose a Sony or Bose headphone with noise cancelling for flights. They are MUCH better than the B&O!

Hi, I have the H9 and per the instructions included in the box, if the headphones are wired, ANC is activated by having the On/Off switch in the On position. It is turned off by switching to the off position. 

Hi all, I have had the H9 for about 1 week now and really enjoying the sound.

Does anyone else that has these also have the H7 or H6. I have heard the H9 has a more bass heavy sound but curious if there are any other differences in the sound signatures

It may be too late for you, but FWIW, my H9s work perfectly as a headset for my Google Pixel XL phone :)
