New firmware out: 5.40

voice call improvements and minor bugs fixed
Been hearing this forum talk about Symbio Mandarines and I thought I'd pick some up for the E8. Bass is actually pretty punchy now (!!!) and the fit is even better than the Spinfits (which were no slouch, mind you). The Mandarines are basically a much better built Sony Hybrid tip. These fit large so size down, I usually go with an M for Spinfits but ordered the Mandarines in S sizes, perfect fit.

Thanks. Updated and curious whether the connection promlems are sorted. Just started to test it.I got the software update indication once I launched the Beoplay app, maybe try restarting the app or your phone?
Is it just me or the sound signature signature changes after update to 5.4.0? It feels more sibilance and whenever E8 pairs it no longer plays the double taps sound to confirm the pairing.

So I'm returning my E8's today, very sad about it as I love the sound, looks, quality, and comfort but the left one just keeps stopping working and its hard to get it to start again. Usually a reset.
Yep normal bore. As with tips that improve fit, sound quality just gets a boost in general, not to put too fine a point on it. Isolation's also improved. If anything bass might now be a touch too strong, but i might just be overanalysing things. Do a quick search online for the mandarines, you'll find that these generally have positive opinions and are well regarded. Between Spinfits and these mandarines, nobody should have any more fit issues, and both are a marked upgrade from the stock tips. These 2 tips are easily the best upgrade you could make for your E8.Interesting, let me get one and try too, you got the Normal Bore version with 3.8mm core diameter right? Does it affect the other sound signature as well besides bass?
You can't. Gonna need to wait for that app to refresh. Try quitting the app, connecting to the buds, wait like a minute, then backing out to the connection screen again?How is it possible to update if the beoplay app doesnt offer it?
No sound changes were announced in the update so I'd be surprised if B&O did screw with the sound. imho these are the cleanest sounding BT inears on the market, it'd be a shame if they messed with it's sound signature.Is it just me or the sound signature signature changes after update to 5.4.0?

Sorry to hear that. In fairness I've only been listening with 5.4.0 a couple of hours, but to me it sounds great. If anything SQ might be a tad better, with improved soundstage, and connection was never an issue with my set. I hope it gets better for you.
I also hear more highs and maybe less clarity and absolutely not happy about it.
The only thing they should not have changed was the sound signature imho.
Connection of the right side seems to be better tho after the update from 5.2.0.
