According to our earbuds expert
The Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay E8 earbuds are completely wireless. This way, cables won't get in the way and you'll have freedom of movement. The earbuds use Bluetooth and last for up to 4 hours on 1 battery charge. The portable charger allows you to fully charge your earbuds 2 times. You can control your music with the buttons on the earbuds' touchpad. By tapping 1 time, for instance, you can accept incoming calls or pause your music. A set of 4 sleeve sizes is included. If you use the right size, the earbuds won't fall out of your ears.
Note: please make sure to always download the latest software update of the app to prevent problems and to ensure you're getting the most out of the earbuds.Type of ear cushions | In-ear | |

After testing a few other brands of BT earplugs, I thought that there would no longer be earplugs available in the short term that are both stable, read: without interruption, connection loss or the like, and also sound good. After reading a few tests about the B&O E8, I thought I'd take the plunge again and then pay a hefty amount for these BT earplugs. Luckily I did this because to be honest, they sound great! I can't determine whether you think the price is reasonable for these earplugs, but I'm very happy with them! Pairing was a bit difficult. It ended up going well on both an iPhone X and a OnePlus3. The app itself told me to update the firmware and I tried that. Tried....because it doesn't work the first few times. Why? No idea. But after three tries (shipping rights or the like ;-) ) it went well. With this update at least some issues with the B&O app were solved. I couldn't get a good sound out of the tips with the supplied silicone tips, but after I used the foam tips, my ear ports were closed well and the sound sounded really good. There is BAS present but not excessive. Nice clear sound and you can tweak this somewhat with the B&O app. I also have to mention that this is my experience and for someone else it may be best that the silicone caps do better. The advantage of the foam tips is that your ear canal is properly closed by the material. Here you have good passive noise canceling! I have already ordered a number of different foam tips. You can find stores that offer these via google. TIP: Make sure you order the 200 series. These fit on the B&O E8.

Excellent earplugs that sit well and firmly in the ears. Nice and handy storage, charging box. Good technical specs. They sound fine and work well for music etc. but also for phone calls. Convenient 'Transparency' functionality with a tap on the left 'ear' to hear more ambient sound, with a choice of 3 settings. This way you don't have to take them off if someone addresses you, or if you want to hear more ambient noise in traffic.
Easy and fast Bluetooth connection with my Android phone. The App to set some things on the Google Play store (Beoplay app) has some negative reviews, but I think they are mainly from older versions. Everything works fine for me. Tap options are easy and straightforward. Turn up/down, answer/hang up/reject phone, previous/next track, Play/Pause, and Transparecly mode work fine. I haven't tried voice activation yet, but I assume that it also works flawlessly. Various attachments are included, so there is a suitable cap for every ear model.
All in all, a great set for a good price. But worth the money.

Fits very well in the ear, sounds like heaven and is very carefully designed. The case has a charging function, very handy for daily use. Manual operation by tapping the caps is nice and intuitive.
