I have return to this video over and over again and have used your answers on the comments section here as my reference point for deciding between this B&O H8 and Senn M2 Wireless. Thanks again for this great review. I decided on the M2 simply because the B&O appears to have more room to move in terms of wireless space span. I am looking forward to a version 2. And a pair of M2 in vintage ivory is on their way to me.

B&O purposely chose on-ear when they designed the H8, but a H10 over ear would be cool. Just that price tag will remove them from the consumer category.

I got the H8s years ago and decided I’d try the H95. Honestly, they sound terrible compared with the H8. Even AirPods sound better. H95 don’t have passive wired or replaceable batteries. Point is: H8s still rock in 2022.

I've had the Beoplay H8 for a month now and noticed a few shortcomings: 1) with ANC on the sound is degraded in terms of openness and realism of semblance(air, breath, ect.); 2) with ANC on if you walk barefoot and hit your heels on the ground there is a high pitched reaction to the vibration which travels up through your spine; 3) I have a big head and set the Beoplay H8 to maximum spread but after a few hours the tops of my ears hurt because of uneven pressure; 4) When the battery gets low there is a triple knock sound and then around a hour or two later the bluetooth function turns off BUT the ANC function remains working. At this point you can turn on bluetooth again and turn off ANC and continue to use bluetooth for a hour or two more. This is a bad design and none of the other bluetooth headphones I own function in this matter; 5) These headphones don't play as loud as the Parrot ZIK, Logitech UE9000 or Phaiton Chord MS530 which I also own. If you ask me the best deal going now is the UE9000 which are awesome and go for $275. They also are around the ear design which is way more comfortable and they have a pass-thru button so you can hear things around you without taking them off. Their only shortcoming is ANC is always on when bluetooth is on without the ability to turn it off.

Thanks for the review. Can you please comment on below points as I am confused between H8 and Momentum. a) Momentum has NFC and as far as I know H8 does not which is future tech on phones. b) Which one has better ANC? c) Ease of use? Is H8 touch very sensitive? Buttons on Momentum are too tiny? d) Battery life for H8 is 12 hours but for momentum is 22 hrs on Bluetooth. Do you find 22 hours valid?
@TheGamingAudiophile
@TheGamingAudiophile 9 жыл бұрын
Ravi Sharma The NFC feature is very unnecessary as you only pair devices once and they auto-connect there after. The ANC on both is great with the H8 being a tad bit better. The ease of use on the H8 is higher tanks to the easy to accustom to touch controls which are very sensitive and smaller form factor over the Momentum. The H8 lasts about 15 hours while my Momentum does about 23-24. Both offer very long lives that will allow any flight interval to last before charge.

@TheGamingAudiophile
@TheGamingAudiophile 9 жыл бұрын
Tim Barnard The H6 feels like nothing is on the head, while the H8 over time reminds you "Hey, I'm on your head" due to the slight inward clamping pressure that focuses toward the ear. Nothing too devastating, but keeps them from the level of the H6 or Sennheiser Momentum 2 in terms of comfort.

Hi, did you had any problems when using this headphones in wireless mode that the connection drops or cuts very frequently? Also when I use them with my iPhone 6 and I put the iPhone in my pocket, while walking the connection cuts and funny enough just by having the iPhone in between my hands the connection drops, and both gadgets are side by side. I've received a second pair but the problem was the same, and I tried with different devices (laptops, iphones, ipads....)

Bobby Ifeobu The soundstage is similar, but the H8 has tighter focus. Both sound relatively equal over Bluetooth in terms of quality with the H8 being more bassy and full. Wired, they open up and give their true sound with the H8 sounding very dynamic and balanced and the Momentum 2 sounding very smooth and natural. Love them both.

+Dave Vil The H8's bass is inferior to the CFW. It's not as tight and doesn't extend as well. When the H8 is wired, it's about as good with a more mid-bass focus. The Momentum Wireless is very relaxed sounding with a smooth bass and midrange response. In comparison, the H8 is more v-shaped.

Question for you: I picked up the H8 at my local Apple store....had it for about a week before I started hearing high-pitched whistling sounds every time I turned my ANC on. Before this happened, I totally fell in love with the look, feel, and sound of the headphones, so I exchanged it and the replacement is charging as we speak. I really hope that was just a bizarre fluke, as I've looked online, and don't seem to find anyone else complain about this. Have any of you heard or come across this issue with the H8 before????

Not only am I impressed with the sound quality (now that that darned whistling sound is gone), but it feels great not to be the billionth person with that plastic "Beats" monstrosity on my head. But thanks again for the info. If it happens again and my exchange period has expired...that will be the first thing I try!

@TheGamingAudiophile

+patrondanny Over bluetooth, the Beats Studio Wireless sounds more dynamic, open and louder than the H8's. When wired, the H8 sounds more clean and focused. I would definitely use the Beats Studio Wireless in the gym over the H8 because the H8 uses real leather which doesn't play well with sweat. So, if you are solely using bluetooth, I think the Beats Studio Wireless sounds better.

Hi, nice review! quick question, I have the H8 for another week before the option to return them runs out. Like them alot but am seriously interested in the momentum 2 wireless as well. I mainly listen to EDM and Classical (1/2 and 1/2) and a little acoustic....strange taste possibly. Anyway, wondered which of the two headphones you think is the better for the styles of music i listen to. Also there the M2's are unavailable for around 1mth due to bluetooth issues....painful to wait that long. However Im prepared to if the music quality is considerably better on the M2 and worth the wait. Love the look of the H8's, bass sometimes seems a little over extended but its also a very nice bass produced to be honest. I will mainly listen on bluetooth (even though i know they both shine on wire). Also i find the range of the H8 on Bluetooth on my iphone is not great and seems even worse on my late model imac.....wonder if the M2 was ok on bluetooth (apparently the M2 Bluetooth problem was only on a very limited amount of units) sorry comment got long.....thanks!

Also own AKG K712, Sony MDR 7506 and Focal Spirit and RSA T20i in-ear phones. All have their merits. Also, in your revue I got the impression that if one doesn't care about noise cancelling and bluetooth the H6 might be a slightly better choice for sound, never mind price. True?

Great and one of the first H8 reviews on youtube. For clarity, lifelike and midrange, would you recommend the H8 or Momentum Wireless? How about the comfort? - on-ear vs (barely) over-ear of the momentum (i sold the momentum 1 due to fit issue).
@TheGamingAudiophile
@TheGamingAudiophile 9 жыл бұрын
Bond Kritaphol Toss up between the two honestly, but I preferred the H8 ultimately because you can turn off ANC which is detrimental to the sound quality in any application. As a result, the H8 outperformed the Momentum 2 Wireless over Bluetooth. When both are wired, I love them both. Comfort wise, the Momentum 2 is insanely comfortable and more so than the H8 which after awhile begins to irritate my ears with the inward pressure. It's not enough to take them off, but enough to remind me that they're on my head.

Will Duan The H6 throws a more open and refined sound, while the H8 has a more robust and natural sound. Comfort wise, the H6 is better, but versatility and function wise the H8 is superior being that it can be wireless, offer outstanding noise cancellation and then become a great wired headphone.

I really loved this review but my one question has to do with long periods of listening. I had a pair of Sennheiser MM450s and they felt great for a little while, but after about an hour and a half of listening, they really began to hurt my ears. Is this the same case with these H8's, or are they still comfortable after long periods?

Great review. But did you have problems while walking? Lot of people reported that they hear a certain "thud" when walking, which can be quite disturbing for such a pricey headphone. Also, it would be good to hear an honest opinion of H7 vs H8 - when it comes to pure sound.
@TheGamingAudiophile

Yes they did suffer this problem when you walked around. The H7 has a more open and clearer sound than the H8 over Bluetooth, but when when both are wired I prefer the H8's sound.

@amorbavian 9 жыл бұрын
TheGamingAudiophile​ Just tried the H8 and you are spot on with your review. The bass is too high out of the box even from me who likes the extra bump usually but that can be adjusted. If they weren't so expensive I would've picked them up even though I don't feel the sound is richer than my Monster Turbine Pro in ears. But the H8 have MUCH better noise isolation even though they don't cover the whole ear and that's amazing. Also I guess they're more comfortable.

If you K702's have thin vocals or thin sound in any way, you're using an amp that can't power them properly. K702 are high end level headphones despite their price, comparable in many ways to 1000 dollar plus headphones, but they need a high end source and amp.
