Can't wait to try these out: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-LUJOJ...gvSmTBwzpXgOkA2N_cK4CHh7hrFyEmBYaArzbEALw_wcB

First time I've seen these. I like the design, they look like they'd fit well.

Got to know your ears. Those mics might not work for some ears well where they are placed. Though you could go to a bigger size and force them out more but then you have to worry about them staying in if no fin option for these.

Wow. That's a serious premium design. Can't find any details other than price.

The link above shows all sorts of info on them. They look very interesting.

4.5 hours per-charge, and 9 hours total with the case... hmmm..

Yes they do although i agree that the fit could be dicey without any wings or stabilizers. That said, B&O makes good stuff so I have high hopes for them. I also saw them on a European amazon sight so release must be imminent.

Does anyone have any connectivity issues with the 85t? Ive been getting a lot of dropout with the 85t but the 75t has been rock solid.

Digging further there apparently is a second version called the PI7 that costs over 400 and has hybrid ANC verus the feed forward on the PI5. Also the PI7 is said to support 24 bit audio so possibly AptxHD which is super cool other than those of us with Samsung phones. Also both models were supposed to be released back in September but have been delayed several times (obviously).

Yeah, saw that too. They're almost $450. Eeesh.

Eesh is right. I don't see much of a market there and Aptxhd is a misfire. Should have gone LDAC at that price.

Totally. Def not worth the hype or price IMO. Here's where I read about them: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/iuhhh9/bw_pi5_pi7_leak/

B&W do make great premium headphones and I'm really looking forward to taking them for a spin.

I did not have any connection issues during my short time with 85ts. However I did have a hiss in the right ear piece.

"the PI7 case doubles as a unique retransmission system, allowing you to connect with any audio source, and retransmit the audio to your PI7s."

Hmm sounds interesting!

Ah right, my mistake - I swear when I was looking it up earlier, I saw someone say multipoint had been introduced in an update or something. I must have read wrong!

Or maybe it was just wishful thinking, trying to justify to myself buying both!

Do it!

Tease's problem is setting high expectation before delivering. It's a tough balancing act.
But on a relevant note I saw a youtube vid where Jlab has nearly 14 hours battery life.
Is this the new TWS standard for the holiday season?

They have at least 2 models i've seen that claim on, I have the epic Air Sport ANC and haven't been able to get more than 10.5 hours out of them at about half volume.
