OK, how do you do it?

I like the light weight, I don't mind having the H8i around my head. The H9 and H9i requires a separate bag to carry. I haven't had any discomfort wearing them for long listening sessions, but the proximity sensor kicks in on bumpy roads and railroad tracks out of the blue sometimes. This is not...

H6 produces great sound, but they don't have ANC and they have a cable, which makes movement and listening to it outside of controlled environments a bit more challenging. The H9i is closer to the H6 than the H9 was, but they are meant for different purposes. I really missed having ANC when I...

Made for teens on a budget blasting it in the back of the bus on bluetooth and phone speakers. Well, they are the same, but the pads aren't that thick, even they both stick out the same way due to the thickness of the headphone body. Side by side the only difference is the plastic around...

I own a pair of H8i, and the proximity sensor is unstable. I have used them for travelling, and when the bus or train slow down, they pause the music. I have to take them off, reposition them to make them work again. Had to update to the latest firmware, as they didn't work with my iPhone X...

I've just received the H8i, everything works except for the proximity sensor. Anybody else have problems with the headset, either H8i or H9i, not pausing when you remove the headset from your head? Mine seems to keep playing even if I take them off and leave them on a table. edit Did a factory...

I listen to a lot of compressed audio for sure, and apps like SoundCloud just lowered its bit-rate from 128 kbps to 64 kbps Opus. It's hard to find "new" music due to less curation in the mp3/blog community. Curation has fallen more into the hands of large corporations than the general Internet...

Have tried switching to Apple Music, Tidal and other apps, even copied high bit-rate files from quality rips unto my devices, still I always come back to Spotify due to the fact that it is a pure music company and seems to have nailed the way I like to discover, manage and play my music.

The H8i just felt a better buy than the H9i. With bigger muffs, the sound will have a bigger stage, but I care about the package. If I had a controlled environment without the need for ANC I would choose H9i or cabled H6, but for travel I would go with the H8i. My personal preference in any...

They fold flat, but they don't bend.

Would not want to hold unto them if I could get most of my money back, but if you are stuck with low offers, I would probably bite the bullet and use them until something like H10 is released.

Did try both the H9i and H8i at Beo store today. Both are better than the H9. Went for the H8i. I like that you can fold them, they are lighter and more compact. H9i sound is more balanced than the H9. As other users have pointed out, the bass on the new headset has a better approach to sound...

Tried a pair of regular H8 in a store tonight, and the fit felt a bit stressed. https://bocopenhagen.dk/en/beoplay-h8-vs-beoplay-h8i-blogpost/ According to this blogpost, they have made an effort to reduce the amount of stress along with making it a bit bigger around the ears. Well, it seems...

Call quality was very bad on the H9. This is a feature that seems to be addressed on the H8i. The bass was also overwhelming on the H9, so the advertised more powerful bass on the new H9i isn't something I desire. I am not that fond of charging, so 30 hours vs 18 hours means less charging, less...

Went back with my H9. Ordered the H8i in natural colors. Buttons replace touch gestures. I am happy. Paid 2418,- NOK at Power.no.

I think the double tap to re-dial last call is simply a deal killer. Could have been neutralised with a software update. Instead you get the 500 dollar upgrade in order to get the product you really wanted. The bass is a bit enthusiastic on the H9, but I missed the punch while using public...
