Review on Grey Hazel Beoplay H8 Wireless On-Ear Headphone with Active Noise Cancelling from Bang & Olufsen by Danny Badasz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great build and sound quality but no mute button to let the outside world in

The noise canceling on these headphones just isn't good enough. They do a good job of reducing rather than eliminating the constant noise from appliances like the air conditioner or washing machine, but if you work in a busy environment or want absolute silence when wearing headphones, these aren't a pair. For example, I don't think they cut it in an open office, you can still hear people talking around you. You can always turn on some music to drown out other noises, but that's how active noise cancellation is supposed to work at the moment. Plus, these are great headphones. So if noise-cancellation isn't a priority for you, they can work really well. . The sound quality is excellent, as is the build quality. High-quality materials all around. The controls are easy to use once you get the hang of it. You might have to swipe a few times and it might take a few attempts to change the volume, but these are minor issues. While they're comfortable to wear, they don't do a good job of staying on your head when you travel a lot. If you plan on using them while seated, that's fine. But if you wear them while hiking, exercising, doing housework or doing other physical activities, you often have to adjust them and they can just fall off. wear them long. I've had this issue with a lot of over-ear and in-ear headphones, so it might just be inevitable.
