H8 handson in Vegas

A bit late, but anyway:

The press event included the introduction of H8 wireless headphones with noise canceling.

The use of first class materials was highlighted. The leather is the same as for the H6.

A lot of work has been put into the algorithms for the noise canceling, so that the music quality is not affected. They are said to be the lightest headphones of this type on the market.

They where very comfortable to wear. The noise canceling worked really really well. The earpads it self do a good job in keep ambient noise out and the noise canceling do the rest. The gesture thing worked well but require some practice. Pairing to my iPhone went very quick. Aluminum parts feel really exclusive and add to the overall impression of the H8.

Sound was maybe a bit bass rich for my taste, but I could live with that

Price point is on the high end, but I'm sure there is a market for these beauties.

Thanks for posting. These look GREAT. The price isn't insane compared to similar products considered "top" in this category. My wife purchased a pair of Bose noise cancelling headphones a few years ago which were apparently tops at the time and paid about $400 for them. So not too shabby on the price point, B&O!

In the US I often use this site when I'm researching things, like for instance wireless headphones.

Looks like I know what to get myself in the near future.
