Also: Transparency mode, where your surroundings are amplified, better mileage from the same battery, and a new bass port. That’s all I could find from a quick scan. I compared H9 and H9i.-h.Hi, just announced on facebook, updates H8i and H9i, i only scanned the information quickly but the ‘dual connectivity’ is something that many people where missing.
Oh yeah, and I forgot: Proximity sensor for automatic play/pause when you take them on/off.Where did you read about dual connectivity? Couldn’t find that. Does that mean multipoint pairing, so it switches automatically between your mac, iPhone and iPad? I have to manually pair my H9 each time I switch between devices, so that would be a welcome upgrade.-h.
Are we sure about the 'same' battery? So long as those remain the same, I think i'll remain happy with my existing H8's H9's... although dual connectivity would be cool... need more details i guess.
After the fiasco of the E 8s, there is NO WAY I will trust B&O the way I used to and blindly buy.Sorry B&O, you sure have screwed up.I’m still a diehard fan, but you must win back my trustBarry

Don't know if it's actually the same battery. Fair point. I just noticed that the battery of the H9i has the same capacity (770 mAh) and charging time (2.5 hours) as the battery of the H9. I see from a picture that the battery slot on the headphones are differently designed, though. So I suppose the form factor may have changed.

One thing I've noticed from the photos on the Beoplay website is it looks like they've taken away the the removable/user replaceable battery which for a £450 pair of headphones is a dealbreaker for me :(
Oh nope it is replacable, just hidden away differently! Sorry.

If you look at the H9i product page on beoplay.com, and press the "battery" vertical panel, you see a picture of the H9i with the battery compartment partly open. Still looks user replaceable. However, the battery compartment no longer has a door along the edge of the earpad, like the H9. Instead, the entire aluminum disc that faces outward seems to be removable.
