Just had a Beoplay app update with the changelog that said "Adds support for new products". Just went to the add product section and noticed a new wireless Earset option in the bottom right next to the P6. Are these already out? :o

vlohjr1:It’s tomorrow!
It's on the BeoPlay website.The original wired earset is more elegant in my opinion.

Jon:Totally agree. If they sound anything like the A8/3i, I’m not convinced they’re worth the same price as the E8 either.

1’ve had the original A8’s for years.
Never got used to them - they don’t fit well in to/on to my ears and therfore don’t sound good (enough).
I wonder if these new ones will be better?
If yes - I’d probably use the original leather case for them ;-)
They look cool and I never really fancied stuffing things in to my ears like with the iem’s.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Think this is an excellent idea....I don't use headphones that go in my ear....hate it...so will be definitely trying these out. Love the brown graphite, very nice.
Duels:I think these will be perfect for me. I simply cannot get on with the H5. I can’t get a good fit and sound quality is disappointing as a result. They also fall out. My H3s are good but are wired which will be an issue when I update my phone. If these will stand up to gym use I am very interested. The graphite and brown colour looks awesome in John’s video.
BeoGreg:Nice product, nice review. Have to check if they are ok with glasses on.
Have to check if they are ok with glasses on.
I had my original A8's until recently. I didn't find any issues wearing them with glasses, and i don't think I would with these. My temples would just sit on top of the curved arms.
The only thing I can't get over is the $300 price tag. I guess that's the going rate nowadays...
Looks nice.I hope they release it in the classic B&O color scheme black + silver, too!All brown parts in silver will look more B&O and timeless. :)

But the app no longer works for Essence 1 so, if my logic is correct, something else will get kicked to the curb.
Evan: TWG: Looks nice. I hope they release it in the classic B&O color scheme black + silver, too! All brown parts in silver will look more B&O and timeless. :) My thoughts exactly. I went to a local dealer yesterday for a first look (and planning to buy a silver set) only to learn there isn't one!!

Silver is tough to do in plastic at €300.

Silver colored plastic is easily made... especially at €300. ;) But I'm referring to the brown metal parts. If Bang & Olufsen releases a version with the natural silver aluminium parts of the white version with the black plastics of the black version it would look great. I tried it with Photoshop:
This is the color variant I'm waiting for!

You are correct. I should have said the Bang & Olufsen app no longer works at all on the essence.

You photoshop people are scary!!! This is an interesting evolution of the earset 2, as well. Plus, now you don't need to worry about them being Chinese knock-offs.

Review of the Wireless Earset from the Verge.
Not pleasant reading.

Does make you wonder about the wisdom of B&O releasing so many products, especially in the headphone space, where there are many competitors.
The battery only can last 5 hours like H5😓😓
Daqing:The battery only can last 5 hours like H5😓😓
I know just the place you need to be visiting...
Duels: Daqing: The battery only can last 5 hours like H5😓😓 In reality I get about 2.5 hours from my H5s. I wonder if these will be better.

Mine is only a little bit longer than yours. I really don’t believe B&O still makes kind of 5 hours stuff in 2018. Apple’s own similliar stuff can last up to 12 hours!!!
These seem very cheap on UK Amazon right now, at £69.99, with all colours available: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bang-Olufsen-Premium-Wireless-Earphones/dp/B07BBVXJQQ/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=bang+olufsen+premium&qid=1579269866&sr=8-7
