Review on 🎧 Beoplay H8i: Wireless On-Ear Headphones with ANC, Natural Design, Transparency Mode, and Microphone by B&O PLAY by Bai Dang Thi ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

About the sound. If you solely intend to use them with your phone, there is, in my opinion, no use in purchasing them. You will have the same quality from Beats at a price that is two times lower than B&O. I'm not sure how things are with newer phone models (i.e., those released in 2022 and after), but the bluetooth sound is relatively quiet on the iPhone SE and the Asus M1 Pro. And the headphones are not to blame. Simply said, these gadgets can't power these headphones. Yeah, and listening to songs in MP3 or FLAC won't let you really appreciate how beautiful this sound is. When at least USB amplifiers are attached, which cost an additional $30,000 (I personally purchased the Japanese ONKYO DAC-HA30), the full capability of the headphones is exposed. Also, I strongly suggest that you download, purchase, and listen to Hi-Fi studio formats (DSD, DSF, and others); phones cannot play these files; only computers can. Also, each minute of listening to them will require around 100 MB of storage. You won't want to use different headphones or listen to different music if you are prepared to incur these costs.

Pros
  • Even though this is just my opinion, I think the design is excellent. The materials are of good quality. They remain as "out of the box" even after more than a year of cautious handling. Sound. I'll describe the sound in more detail below. I can understand a few of the subtleties on my own.
Cons
  • The headband is too loose. I dare to say that you are attempting to correct problems if you are actively moving in them. They are more suited for introspective listening while seated. Although using touch controls for more than a year, I still haven't fully used to them. On a linked device, changing the music can occasionally be simpler.
