Bang & Olufsen Beoplay E8 3rd Gen Wireless Earphones (Open Box)

From the feel of the leather case to the comfort of the earbuds in my ears, I adore these earbuds. They sit comfortably in my ears like emerald gems, even for long periods of time and will move from noice cancelling to transparent mode with a tap on my left earbud. Call quality is clear and music sounds fantastic, and I can remain on the line with my husband for hours with no issues with call sound. He noted that they do seem to cancel out noise in my background, as when I express regrets about the noisy environment, he does not understand what I am referring to. This is a huge bonus, since I do run two businesses and often have children in tow or make and take calls in an environment with some background noise. Further, the noice cancellation feature is fantastic when I want to focus and think and strategize or problem solve. At times, I leave them in as ear plugs for this reason and when toggle to change availability to let my reception staff know that I am available for calls, I move to seamlessly taking and making calls hands free. I realize that the low ends/bass is not "the same" as my Bose Soundsport, and not "the same" as my husband's highest end Sony in ear phones, but the "difference" honestly does not bother me in the least. If I want to use my Bose Soundsport, I will. If I wanted Sony, I would have bought them, but I wanted these for the design and performance both. My husband also just purchased Bowers and Wilkins newest wireless in ear phones and I am surely able to try them and compare and contrast, since those clearly have low end built in, based on the size of the earbuds alone, just as the Sony ones, but again, if you want Sony or Bose, buy them. They won't be these little gems. Never mind the little bit of low end that is not quite there as they would be on those other buds, I enjoy the aesthetics and features as well as the more than adequate sound performance for the money far too much to part with them or to feel I am missing out on a thing. Be sure to get the B & O app and adjust the sound and settings! I also own the Beo Play 3rd generation speaker in the same gorgeous deep green and the app controls both, which is so handy. There is ample bass in the Beo Play 3 speaker, which is where I want it. I do not want enough bass for a headache in my in ear phones. (These are just my two cents, being married for 25 years to an audiophile, and learning what good sound is and what it isn't. I love my B & O buds!) If I didn't mention the stunning deep green enough times, let me mention once more: these are stunning in color and design, and look as high-end designer as they truly are. I am wanting a second pair of earbuds to go with another phone of mine and I'll be buying B & O again! Since the green I purchased have shot up to $500 a pair due to supply and demand, I probably will select gray or black this time around. I treasure my gorgeous green ones all the more. So classy looking, such a lovely aesthetic to be worn and enjoyed along with the funtionality and the sound. Bravo, B & O! One more note: I needed to call customer service late at night to set these up around my busy life and CEO life schedule. A great rep answered right away and guided me through set up and was amazingly patient as my own executive assisting team in professionalism and helpfulness. My phone disconnected us, and I called back in and got the very same rep. I felt the quality of service matched the pricepoint and expectation I had. All in all 5 stars, and all are well deserved.
