No idea?

Anybody here experience regarding the ANC feature. When I try to turn on the ANC, it shows in the Beoplay App that it is switching ON the immediately OFF.

I have no problem activating/de-activating ANC from my H9i touchpad.

 

But the ANC control in the BeoPlay app only appeared once when I upgraded my headphones to v 5.0.3. After that, it disappeared.

I noticed the same thing with mine, the Apple Watch app still has ANC on/off but that doesn't usually reflect the actual status of ANC either. Very strange but such a minor issue, ANC controls on the headphones still work and it's not like the Beoplay app has ever worked flawlessly in the ~3 years I've been using wireless Beoplay products.

On the negative side, I've been having some trouble with what I first thought was dropouts of the bluetooth connection, but now believe is really unintended pause/play

Having the exact same issues on my H9i. As you describe, the sound just cuts and looking at the phone (iPhone 6s) shows that it is stopped. WHen pressing play, it will work again.

ANy news on this?

The H8i has just been tested by the consumer magazine Which? Verdict : Poor sound ad comfort. A don't Buy. Superior build quality and sound for less with the AKG N60NC wireless or Sony WH-H800 h.ear on 2 Mini. Comments that they do have very good battery life though.

Pretty unbiased magazine - used to love the old CRT Beovisions.

Mine only seems to do this when the fit is a bit loose on my ears or if I move them slightly, is it the same for you?

UPDATE ON THE DROPOUT ISSUE. B&O has acknowledged the issue and it is related to the proximity function. They are working on a fix. In the meantime, it is possible to turn off the proximity function by pressing and holding the on button upwards as if you are about to pair the headphones with your phone. When the light flashes blue, double tap the play/pause in the middle of the right earcup twice until the light is red.

I did this yesterday and have not had any issues since.

on the dropout problem I spoke to B&O about this.

The headphones calibrate their proximity sensor when first turned on. If you wait for the white light by the on button to go off, then the proximity sensor is set up.

This means subsequent use will be fine.

If you do what I did for a month, which is to put them round your neck, turn them on, and then bluetooth, the proximity sensor will be poorly calibrated and won't work, leading to the dropout issues.

Really stupid design decision, but it's a minor thing, once you know about it it works absolutely fine.
