Hi fonefan, I currently have the H9i and am mostly happy with them. The biggest issue I have is with the touch controls: very inconsistent to the point that I usually only use the phone app to control them. I'm curious if you saw an improvement between the H9i and the H9 gen 3 in this regard...

After listening to mine a bit more I'll say that there is no question that the SQ is much better with ANC off, but after adjusting the volume up a bit when active it is acceptable for me. And once you settle in for a bit your ears adjust to the new sound profile. Having said that, if your use...

Since you mentioned it - I noticed that the update to 5.0.3 is available but I chose not to install it. Anyone know what the benefits are? Should I install the update?

Just got my H9i this evening. Here are my quick first impressions in no particular order. (Note: my only beoplay headphone experience is with my H6 gen 2, so can't compare to the H9) - Touch controls aren't perfect, but worked pretty well - Don't like that the only way to turn ANC on or off...

This is disappointing. The ANC impact to the SQ was one of the reasons I returned my PX's (the other was feeling like I went 10 rounds with the champ after wearing them for more than 30 minutes). My H9i pair is set to arrive tomorrow, so I'll get my own experience soon enough...

What type of folding does the H8i allow? There's no mention of this on the beoplay website and I don't see a hinge in any of the pictures.

Just ordered the H9i today - should get them next week. I currently have the H6 gen2 so can offer my thoughts on how they compare. If they are anything close I'll be selling my H6's.

Thanks for the report larzy. Also wondering if you wear glasses?

Looking forward to hearing more about these. I'm looking at either the h8i or the h9i. I currently have h6 gen2 and they are very comfortable for long sessions, so am sure the h9i would work well in that regard. But I like the lighter weight of the h8i and the lower price for sure. Would...

I'm also curious about the Space One wireless. I've tried the B&W PX and 1000x v2 and neither worked for me. The PX was horrible sounding with ANC on and caused a great deal of discomfort after wearing for an hour. The Sony was a bit more comfortable but also caused fatigue after relatively...
