B&O H7 Bluetooth Discussion and Impressions

Dec 14, 2016 at 12:12 AM Post #167 of 294
Glad you like the H7.  I sold mine as I needed more volume, but beyond that the H7 is one heck of a headphone.

That's interesting!
The first pair of H7 I received (with the missing battery) were ok and the sound was really good. I couldn't even complain about the volume output (as I dind't have a comparison in the beginning)...but the compensation pair I received later from amazon were quite a bit louder than the first one.
 
Soundwise the H7 are just amazing, even/also compared to the V-Moda XS I used before. 
 
And it seems like I am lucky - no hissing or clicking in the left ear-piece (in neither pair), they just work perfectly well!

I had the v1 H6 and loved it, I had the v2 and hated the mids and that the aluminium arms were of inferior quality, now I have the H7 coca brown v2 and it has the same aluminium quality of the v1 which is nice.
 
BUT this headphone has a weird noise going on in the left ear cup, it is sort of a fluttering clicky noise. I read that other people also have this? It is not really that annoying when music is playing but for the price it seems not acceptable.

After my contact with Beoplay support they advised me to sent back my H7 in order to verify and replace them. Let you know of the result.

It's in all of the H7s...it's just a matter of if you notice it or not.  It actually gets louder once the software is updated on the headphone as well.  I've had three H7s now, and I just live with it at this point.  I love everything else about the headphone.  Plus, I run it at lot in wired mode sitting at my desk and that solves that as well.  The pads are much more comfortable than the H6 (they are deeper), so the extra 100 bucks, even if only for wired, is worth it.  Then a little BT action if needed and it's still a great headphone.  If you're 100% bluetooth, then I can see the frustration.  However, it being software that amplified that sound, I'd imagine that it can be fixed as well, but we'll see.

  Didn't use the wire yet, does it sound any good in passive mode? My QC35 sounded worse without the BT.

I actually think it sounds a bit better w/ the wire.  Doesn't have quite the bass quantity so it's a bit more balanced.  More in line with the H6v2.  Once you turn on the bluetooth, it gets a little bassy.

I agree. When wired it sounds a little less soft and bassy. The sound gets a bit clearer and more balanced. If that signature suits you, it's worth it to listen wired when you're sitting. Anyway, BT sound is also pretty good.

Did you noticed wheezing bass through BT especially in certain tracks, where bass is on very low frequencies? For example I can hear that in "Yours" Ella Henderson's, and it is present since 0:50.
It is also more present on Spotify, on Apple music almost not noticable ( I think that in case of Apple music only a few could be able to hear that). What is also interesting that on Earpods there is no such wheezing. Is that because of h7 drivers which are not alble to produce clear sound on those low frequencies or it's a fault of 'not lossless' music format?

Not sure if it has been mentioned in this thread, but I noticed on a danish retailers site, that there's a new 2nd gen version out of the H7's. They feature bluetooth 4.2 instead of 4.1 - not sure what else has changed, if anything. I really liked my H7's when I owned them, but after getting the Bowers&Wilkins P7 wireless, I'm not going back. Even better sound in those, although the Beoplay was quite good.
