In fact, the panda will buy this ear plug is purely accidental. After disappointing SONY noise reduction beans, I began to search the Internet for better products. One day, a title on a digital site attracted me - "B&O PLAY launches the Beoplay E8: Support for Level 3 Noise Reduction." When you look inside, it looks pretty good, not only to support noise reduction, but also touch function? ! This is not what I want?
So the panda immediately ran to Taobao to find a home purchase set, and contentedly waiting to receive goods. Later, when the panda and friends talked to the earplugs, the friend said that the goods seemed to be without active noise reduction. Nani? Pandas went to the shops and official website to carefully read the introduction, really did not bring noise reduction, I seem to have been translated by the website's 瞎 ......
Because it was a purchasing service, the return was too cumbersome and it was difficult to bring it back home.
This purchase is still awesome, and it will be paid in less than a week. Panda is the first time to buy B&O products. This Danish company is also considered to be one of the world's top audiovisual brands. Its products have always been known for its face value. This E8 is no exception. Here are some of the open boxes:
Well, please forgive the panda's slag photography technology can not shoot the beauty of the product, the real thing is much more beautiful than the photo, small and exquisite in his hand, silver metal ring lining the LOGO reveals a glamorous low-key temperament, feels like It is a work of art. The leather material of the charging box is also very comfortable to touch. It has a larger volume than the charging box of the airpods. It does not particularly bulge in the pocket. Please charge it for at least 10 minutes before using it for the first time. The earphone slot of the charging box comes with magnetic force and it is effortless when placed (squinting noise-reducing beans). After the battery is charged, try it on. The first time you wear it may not be very easy. To get used to it, try it more often. The earplugs are very light, and they don't have a sense of wearing. Of course, shaking your head and shaking will not be a standard.
Similar to noise-reducing beans, this earbud is also divided into main and secondary earphone designs, but the main earphone is on the right, and the left side receives the synchronization signal through near-field sensing technology. As the saying goes, it was once bitten by a snake. The first thing the panda did was to test the delay and connected the 6S, Xiaomi 4C, ZX300A and other devices. There was no obvious sense of delay. A stone in the heart finally landed. However, in the process of experience, Panda also found that the left ear occasionally appears short-lived, although not too frequent but still a little uncomfortable, it seems that this phenomenon is a problem that split Bluetooth headset will encounter. Because it is the main and sub-headset settings, the E8 cannot use the left ear alone, nor can it be used as emergency charging for the airpods. However, the left and right ears have a voice during the call. The E8 will not be suddenly struck by a black cat sheriff as an ear noise. (Squint noise reduction beans again)
In terms of sound quality, the E8 gave me the overall feeling of fairness, but it was not amazing. After listening to SONY's added sound, Panda felt E8's voice was relatively flat, the sound was cold and slightly thin, and bass was not enough. Contrast with airpods, I think E8 has a slightly better sense of space. Of course, this type of earbuds cannot be too high in terms of sound quality. Like noise-reducing beans, the E8 only supports the connection between AAC and SBC, and does not support APTX (and LDAC), which may also be a factor in the general sound quality.
In terms of functionality, the touch panel of the E8 is definitely a major highlight. Before the panda slobbered over the airpods, everything was fine. That is, there were too few operating instructions, and even the volume control could not. If you could add a 1000X touchpad, it would be nice. The result was heard by B&O and immediately added a similar operation to the E8. The specific operation instruction can refer to the following picture, and it does not need to be able to directly adjust the volume of the mobile phone. The sensitivity of the touchpad is good, but initially it may not be accurate enough to grasp the position. It is recommended to use the thumb and ring finger to hold the earplug and then use the index finger to strike. Even if you are used to blind spots, it is very easy.
Although there is no active noise reduction, E8 still has an environmental sound control mode called "transparent mode." (The previous site seemed to be confusing this mode with the noise reduction feature.) You can turn this mode on or off by clicking the left ear to make it easier to communicate with others. You can also set the type of ambient sound through the mobile phone APP to adapt to different environmental needs, such as walking on the street to hear the sound of all surrounding environments to ensure safety, or only pay attention to voice broadcast at the airport, etc. similar.
Officially stated that the earplug's use time is about 4 hours, with the charging box 2 times to achieve 12 hours of battery life, about half the level of airpods. Although this result is not too good, it should be enough to deal with the routine. The earbuds seem to be only able to put the charging box off, I did not find a direct shutdown operation.
Overall, the E8 is a good substitute for airpods. Some people can't always accept the design of airpods with two big guns, so E8 is your best choice now. Although it does not reduce noise, the sound quality is also normal, but the victory is easy to use, allowing you to completely get rid of the wire troubles.
