Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H8 review: A swanky Bluetooth headphone with a price to match

This $500 wireless on-ear headphone looks great and is loaded with features, including noise canceling, but a few small flaws take away some of its luster.

The Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H8 has a sleek, sturdy design, with a metal/leather headband and plush earcups, and very good sound for Bluetooth. It also features active noise canceling, touch controls in the right earcup and a replaceable rechargeable...

It's expensive; the on-ear design isn't as comfortable as some over-ear designs and the sound isn't quite as open as we would have liked.

B&O Beoplay H8 Review: Wireless ANC On-Ear Headphones

Beoplay H8 is an on-ear wireless headphones with active noise cancelling. It's built with premium natural materials and tuned for bass lovers.

Among the Beoplay products I have reviewed so far, the Beoplay A1 and H6 are glorious, while this H8 lacks the audiophile quality. The H3 ANC is also one mixed bag, but turned better once I swapped the eartips.

Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H8 review: Bang & Oh... the price

In the hunt for a decent pair of headphones it's logical to select a well-known brand such as Bang & Olufsen. The Danish high-end audio manufacturer's most recent noise-cancelling on-ear headphones, the BeoPlay H8, certainly look the part, but with a...

Clear sound, effective noise-cancellation, quality construction, booming bass

Bass can be too much, resonant interference when walking not ideal, feedback issues when battery runs low, expensive

The Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H8 on-ear headphones look great, hammer out bass, and their active noise-cancellation is brilliant.

B&O Beoplay H8 review

(Rating Hidden)

The B&O Beoplay H8 headphones are a serious investment, costing as much as a half-decent turntable. From a brand that made a name for itself with high-end audio equipment, that's perhaps not too surprising, but does the quality match the price tag? We...
