Bang & Olufsen has beefed up its headphone offering, with the super-stylish BeoPlay H8 on-ear earphones, built from aluminium, sheepskin and leather.
The H8 headphones feature active noise cancelling and Bang & Olufsen claim that the phones are some of the lightest on the market, weighing
just 255g (9 ounces) despite the high-end production materials. The headphones can last an impressive 14 hours from one battery charge,
even with the active noise cancelling feature turned on. Even better, the rechargeable battery can be replaced so if 14 hours isn't enough,
you can simply snap in a new battery.
The cups are built from anodised aluminium with a sheepskin pad -- a welcome touch for an on-ear set of headphones. The outside of
the right cup is a touch interface, with simple gesture controls to answer to answer calls, adjust volume and change songs.
- Premium, light-weight, wireless, active noise cancelling on-ear headphones
- Bang & Olufsen Signature Sound no matter if active noise cancellation is turned on or off
- Aluminum touch interface on the right ear cup gives you complete control of your music and phone calls
- Up to 14 hours of battery life with active noise cancellation and Bluetooth turned on
- At just 255g, BeoPlay H8 is one of the lightest wireless active noise cancelling headphones on the market
