Review on 🎧 Bang & Olufsen Beoplay E8 2.0 True Wireless Earphones Qi Charging, Natural - 1646101: Superior Sound and Convenient Charging by Michael Lightfoot

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing true wireless headphones that are the best out there.

I did a lot of research looking for new true wireless headphones. I got away from AirPods and wanted something with much better sound quality. Most people seemed to prefer the Momentum B&O and the sound quality seems to be on par, but everyone is subjective depending on who you're talking to. But the Momentum has a battery drain issue that I didn't want to deal with, so I went with the B&O and was blown away. The sound quality is top notch, the bass is punchy and clear. The equalizer settings in the app have different settings depending on the environment, which is very useful. These aren't true noise-cancelling headphones, but they offer passive noise-cancellation, they form a good seal, and it's very hard to hear ambient noise when you're wearing them in your ears. Depending on your usage, this can be good or bad. Being able to touch the left earbud and hear your surroundings without taking out the headphones is a great feature. I've seen complaints about the quality, but this isn't a feature you'll be using for hours. It's just a quick way to have a conversation or hear an announcement when you're at the airport, for example. And the touch controls are a welcome feature, especially because you don't have to press buttons that move around the earcup or press against your ear. They're simple and intuitive, you'll get used to them if you haven't used touch controls for headphones before. The fit is perfect. Now not everyone will have the same fitting experience. Every ear is different, and some headphones fit some people better than others. Most of the time, my ears get tired with true wireless headphones, with the exception of AirPods. I had to take my time using the different ear tips that came with B&O to find the right fit. For me, the Comply Foam liners are by far the best. They form a strong seal, stretch and remain comfortable for hours of use. I recommend buying a pair of Comply Comfort foam pads for extended use, but the included Comply Sport foam pads work just as well, just better for the gym. I don't use them for the gym, I think they're better for casual listening to music, commuting or walking around town. But I would feel comfortable using them at the gym when I need them in a pinch. The battery case is by far the best true wireless headphone case I've seen. High quality leather, it's small enough to fit in your pocket, and it's actually wireless. Being able to throw this on my wireless charger is such a nice feature. It also includes USB-C, which is a nice addition for future testing. The three extra charges that come with the case also help keep them going for a week or two depending on usage. Yes, they're expensive, but in my opinion they offer more than other $300 true wireless earbuds. There are too many compromises with others I've researched.

Nice build and sound but there are some improvements that needs to be addressed.
