I have always admired Bang and olufsen , I have owned some of their equipment before and was impressed with the sound quality, I have been using airpods for using my phone whilst driving and listening to music at home, so when I found these E8 earbuds I was thinking these are the way to go, how wrong I was to think that, extremely disappointed to say the least. Bad points, If you don't get a good seal in your ears they sound like a £5 tinny walkman . They do not turn on when you remove them from the case, you have to tap the right one to turn on. The button operation is just not responsive at all, you find yourself tapping the RH one sometimes more that several times to turn on, As you can imagine whilst diving this is a nightmare, the caller has usually rang off before you can answer the call, As with the air pods , just pick one out , put in your ear, your connected, and fast, As for sound quality, if you use the foam inserts and ram them into your ear so far it's touching your ear drum, the sound quality is marginally better than the air pods , and I mean marginally, , the volume is just the same as the airpods . Oh, and as you are inserting them into your ears , your pushing all the buttons turning them on / off, and operating different modes as you can't get them in your ears without touching these, Phone calls.. forget it, by the time you have turned it on , got it in your ear and connected, you will have wrote your car off. Compared to the air pods that take 3 seconds from out the case to in your ear and connected , the completely un responsive on button compounds this problem , Sometimes they just randomly drop out and come back on for no apparent reason, sometimes they don't connect at all and you have to 're pair them, And with the foam inserts on, they do not fit in there case properly therefore not charging one of them , or both, Just a level of quality I was not expecting for B+O, and the price . For a company like Bang and Olufsen, and the price of these it's shameful how bad they are, had mine 2 weeks and sold them on, the ease of use with the airpods just miles ahead , and the difference in sound quality is not enough to make up for how cumbersome operation of the E8s Air pods all the way for me I'm afraid , pair them once, job done, instantly on upon removal from case, no drop outs , they fit way better in the case, they always charge, I think B+O have ventured into a wrong market , and should stick to speakers , Read full review
