hey everyone I didn't know truly wireless earphones were gonna be a main focus this year but Bose Sony and Jaybirds in the past several months have released theirs and also in the past I've tested the jarba support elites and also the Apple earpods now as for the Samsung icon acts 2018 Edition I know you guys have been asking about that those are coming soon to the channel so be sure to subscribe to get notified well Megan Thompson also released their own with the Bo play e8 as always being transparent with you guys I personally pay for these at the very expensive retail price of $300 but testing the Vino h6 headphones and the a1 bluetooth speaker in the past they've been amazing products we'll see how this one goes and see if the price is justified as always I'll place my affiliate links down in that video description below click those links for the most updated prices in real time you never know when these things like the one sale so without further ado I'm Jimmy with Jim's review room I'm here to help you make a purchase decision welcome everyone to another review Bang & Olufsen has always made some very nice products offering understated elegance in my personal opinion the model that you see on screen is called charcoal sand well there's a more stealthy option coming in black now they're made of mostly plastic which works perfectly fine but having more metal to the touch or even a rubberized coating to give it a bit more texture would have been nice neither or I haven't been picking here these are quality built now B no claims these are sweat and water resistance and with my testing risking my $300 earphones obviously don't try this at home i drench them and they're still working perfectly fine today touching base on comfort and physical performance for ear tips are included plus one set of comply foam which works great if you want something a little bit more foam fitting or form-fitting that foam fitting that is but keep in mind these are in ear earphones versus many of the competitors which sits somewhat in ear now resulting in less passive noise isolation now one of the biggest praises for the e eights they black out most of your outside environmental noises because it's completely sealed in there they are very comfortable to wear as you can see they don't have air fans or ear wings for stability but they do stay in the ear very well also if you notice the Yeates might possibly have the lowest profile when wearing here and they don't stick out and look our can turn like the bose sound support fries that I just recently reviewed now moving on to the controls there are touch sensitive surfaces which very intuitive I'm both earpieces a nice alternative to the physical button that sometimes you have to press into your head to activate sometimes now a single tap pauses and plays your music as well as answer and end phone calls now if I'm is increased by tapping and holding the right earphone while holding the left side decreases it now I'll have a fullness and other side of my head here for your reference but the only feature that is not here basically and I wish every company would have this our voice prompts the e8 verbally doesn't tell me what my battery life is which device I'm paired to and besides a quick audio beef having a voice prompt to indicate if I'm in pairing mode or not would streamline my use now it's not a reason to not buy these but paying three hundred dollars those features would have been nice but getting back to the earphones I mentioned these are able to take phone calls and you do get some background noise for cars driving by and footsteps being horrible like other ear phones but the voice on the other end came in super clear here and my voice for the recipients on the other end was good enough and I know how to pretend crystal clear but it's very much usable also during phone calls the eh turns on the external microphones and pumps your surrounding audio ambient noise here into your ears so it eliminates all of the passive noise isolation for safety that's a pretty cool feature now moving on to the case it is small and when you first open the retail package it's gonna smell like a shoe store or some high-end leather boots so make sure you take a whiff here but also yours this a case very premium leather soft and supple and when you open it they do hold the ear buds with magnets which holds perfectly fine the case itself is able to charge your earphones two additional times essentially holding an additional eight hours of battery life and you can check how many additional charge cycles you have with the two LED lights on the rear pretty convenient now speaking of better life veno claims at four hours of playtime in my testing playing audio at 50% from full to bed I managed to get four hours in 25 minutes there's also quick charging which helps for men sleep with 20 minutes on the charger providing you an additional hour worth of playback no touching based on Bluetooth performance the e8r equivalent bluetooth 4.2 testing them in the office with my iPhone 10 and having them go through two walls average 61 linear feet before the audio started to crackle and that's great for what we have today once it's paired the e aids does have a connection that's very stable for normal everyday use I never had an issue and all right last before I talk about the audio performance the one unique feature that be you know incorporated is transparency mode the microphone kicks on and you're able to select one or three levels to hear your environment with the left ear bub you can tap and turn it on or off but unfortunately you can't cycle through each option though you have to do so within the bill play app now with transparency mode activated it's perfect for runners are those walking during their commute and wanting to hear their environments again for safety again these provide excellent passive noise isolation if you want to eliminate that you have the option to do so so right folks to the moment you've been waiting for the audio test the e aids do get loud here I'm constantly fighting myself listening comfortably but loud s 60 to 70 percent vine bass wise they sound slightly bassy but tends to lean and the more accurate sound signature rather than truly being bass boosted now if I were to compare its Emily to the Bose sound support freeze and the job or support elites both absolutely truly wireless earphones it's not bass books it's sounding like a jaybird runs but it's a bit more of a true fine performance compared to a jaybird recent release if you're a bass head I will look into those but the eh is surely enough for most people now in the mid ranges there is a balance that equally and accurately portrays both the instruments and the vocals focus are surely not recessed but it does stand front and center without being bright now same with instruments and it's imaging it stands out but at a pleasing and neutral level they aren't colourful but as a positively to do sound accurate and well pronounced when you're listening to high-quality audio files as for the high notes music that's a bit more mellow doesn't have a lot of attack or is very fast per se sounded absolutely fine the it does absolutely well in that regards now when listening to the opposite where there's tons of synthesized high frequencies a lot of the upper frequencies are just going on it just sounds really cluttered you lose a lot of resolution and detail it gets slightly jumbled in at times not necessarily ear piercing but can be sharp at times on those fast attacking songs the high frequencies do overpower or overshadow the mid frequencies just by a smidge taking away from the experience a slight bit that is now as for soundstage the EAS perform better than average it's not the best but you do get some depth and truly clear left and right audio separation although it does better than half the market and competitors out there and wasn't as strong or close to say the Bose sound sport freeze or the shape or runs now Pino does offer the vo play app and offers a simplified tutor called tongue touch Odin gets you warm made the autumn muffled and didn't really increase bass to my liking increasing excited or bright slightly did help improve the audio to be a bit more pronounced but other that the app didn't offer much more besides better level indication and adjusting the transparency the tone of transparency settings which we discussed a little bit earlier and most will be fine having it and stock but the option to adjust is there now last but not least video delay has been a big topic and truly wireless earphones lately tested ee8 with netflix there's a fractional delay very minimal but on youtube you can see lips moving first before you hear the audio this was also the same on the sony WF 1000x and the bose sound support freeze that I've recently tested in the channel now they don't stick out my ear like crazy here which I absolutely am appreciative of they have decent better life and they stick inside your ear comfortably as well that might justify its price tag but the audio was not the best but it's on the very good side of things when listening to other truly wireless earphones that I have at the office so folks please let me know in the comment section below what you
