Drawing on more than 90 years of expertise in sound and design, the very simple and elegant looking Beoplay E8 promises industry-leading sound, a seamless listening experience on the move and a design in premium materials that is part of the companys heritage.
Beoplay E8 is the perfect companion for everyone, who doesnt want to trade in sound and design for true wireless freedom. It is designed to sit beautifully in your ear as a discreet and stylish technology statement and comes with a sound that is full-bodied and precise in its soundstage, commented John Mollanger, CEO of B&O PLAY.
The splash and dust resistant Beoplay E8 promises effortless listening on the move. The earphones are stored in a premium leather charging case. Tapping on the aluminium encircled touch interface of each earphone enables a listener to play with various settings including switching between tracks, taking calls, and activating the Transparency Mode and voice commands.
With everything controlled by the intuitive touch interface on the earphones, the smartphone can remain in the pocket.
Beoplay E8 delivers up to four hours of music on one charge. For two additional charges on the move, the earpieces may be stored in the pocket-friendly charging case. The sleek case sports a braided fabric strap adding another layer of tactility and making it easier to find in your bag. As Beoplay E8 has small magnets built into each earphone, clicking them into the charging case will automatically power down the earphones and start to charge them, so they are ready for your next 
move.
Beoplay E8 comes tuned by acclaimed Bang & Olufsen sound engineers for a rich, full-bodied and precise soundstage that will leave your ears wanting more. Each earpiece has a 5.7mm dynamic speaker, a small electromagnetic transducer, NFMI technology and a Bluetooth 4.2 chip with Digital Sound Processing that allows for dynamic sound tuning and sound without interruption.
Focusing primarily on sound and design was basically what allowed for the best-in-class sound that comes with Beoplay E8, commented Global Product Manager Libor Matus.
When designing earphones, you want to strike the perfect balance between size, ergonomics and sound quality. The more features you include in an earphone, the less space you have for components that are crucial for the reproduction of sound. With iteration after iteration, we continuously molded the space in Beoplay E8 to integrate components that deliver the best sound quality. Combined Digital Sound Processing capabilities with more than 90 years of experience in sound tuning, and you a get a soundstage that is superior in the true wireless category, Matus added.
Beoplay E8 comes with an audio-transparency feature called Transparency Mode, which lets one decide just how much real-world sound one wants to hear. An end user can choose between three levels of audio pass-through in the Beoplay App and activate the Transparency Mode by tapping once on the left earpiece. Transparency Mode lets one remain connected to colleagues in the office space while listening to music or to be attentive to ones surroundings when walking in traffic.
