Bang & Olufsen E8 2.0

Wire-free convenience complements effortless style

Bang & Olufsen products always have a top-flight presentation, and the E8 2.0 true wireless earbuds are no exception. The tastefully designed earbuds are packed neatly in a beautiful eggshell-design charging case. For their second-gen truly wireless headphones, the company refined the original's look even further and added even more convenience features.

Music still plays wirelessly via Bluetooth, with no connecting cord between the two earpieces. And now you can wirelessly recharge the case with a compatible Qi charger. 

Convenient, compact case

You get about four hours of listening on a single charge. But the included case banks enough power to recharge the earbuds three times while you're on the move. This compact case can slip into your bag, coat pocket, or purse. It recharges via the included USB-C charging cable, or by simply placing it on any Qi charger.

Sophisticated sound

A powerful dynamic driver is packed inside each tiny earbud to deliver Bang & Olufsen's crisp, clear sound signature. If you're craving a ton of bass, I'd probably steer you in another direction. B&O headphones offer some thump, but I generally think of their sound presentation as more well-rounded. And they aren't afraid to reveal the acoustic details found in the highs and upper mids.

To tweak the out-of-the-box sound, download the free Beoplay app to your Apple® or Android™ device. You can make tonal adjustments based on mood or genre.

Intuitive touch controls and Transparency Mode to keep you aware

The E8 2.0 earphones are designed primarily for people on the go, so B&O threw in some neat features to make listening more convenient. Both earbuds have a touch panel built in for controlling music and phone calls. For example, you can tap and hold the right earbud to turn up the volume, or tap and hold the left earbud to turn it down.

If you tap the right earbud once, you'll play or pause the track. Do the same to the left earbud, and you'll activate the Transparency mode — you'll instantly hear external sounds. There are three strength levels that you can toggle through by tapping the earbud or using the Beoplay app.
