They look gorgeous and are so comfortable to wear.

Thanks! Yeah, I was thinking the same. The Beoplay deal does seem to be a great deal. And I know you're getting a quality product, made of quality materials.

I'm caught between these and the Sony mdr-100abn. Want something that are comfortable and reliable Bluetooth. Noise cancelling is a plus...if it's any good. What do you think?

Has anyone found a nice case for them?

connected them to a pc via usb and downloaded the update tool from bo

The ones who have received sealed boxes - aren't they still refurbished? Used but maybe with new ear-pads?

I have ordered a black pair of H7 which I'll receive next week.

Why would anyone pay £165 on a set of headphones? I always remember my old physics master with a signal generator going through the spectrum asking the class to raise a hand and lower it when they could not hear the signal anymore. Seeing as children have better hearing it was amazing how different everyone was. The Teacher then said when most people can afford a decent hifi they are wasting their money as they cannot tell the difference!

I had to update the Firmware on them to connect with my Oneplus 3.

By the way, received mine still sealed. Can't fault them so far. Thanks OP

I read somewhere you can update the Bluetooth to 4.2...anyone done it?

It comes with a soft cloth bag. Mine came today - very happy with it. The packaging was almost new condition and the headphones looked in mint condition

Does anyone know if these come with a case?

ordered, thanks for posting

Ordered mine after reading this post on Sunday night. They've arrived today and the sound is amazing. I had tried cheaper over ear wireless headphones around the £50-£60 but these are streets ahead. Music is crystal clear and I like all types of music. Box was a bit scratched but can't complain otherwise. Headphones are in excellent condition. Really happy :smiley:

I've just received mine. Pleasantly surprised, mine were still boxed and foiled.

I personally prefer over ear so it was the h7 for me, cheaper too. I read that others preferred the soundstage of the H7s to the 8s. Depends if you really want ANC

This or h7 or h8 ?

Whoever added seller refurb to the title has caused the confusion.

Right, so not really getting what these concerns about seller vs manufacturer refurbs are about. Think I'll be picking up two with the 10% discount, thanks OP.

Does it have microphones to answer the calls?

Several comments here raise concerns about these being seller rather than manufacturer refurbished, but as they're being sold by B&O's eBay store, aren't they the same thing? I mean if B&O are selling them surely they were refurbished by them? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Assuming warranty is with B&O itself as well? Shame it's only 12 months when B&O supply 36 months on new products - second hand might be better in some cases.

Anyone compared those to AKG K550?

The thing with BT headphone is if it was refurbished by "seller" instead of "manufacturer", god knows what battery did they use if that was replaced as part of their repair...it could be some cheap China battery that might not pass quality or safety standard for all we know.

I don't really see what can go wrong with them in the first place. They'll either work or they wont. In the case of wont you'd probably blow them up yourself through pushing to high a volume through them.

Yet to see a decent review on these, AKG y50/y50bt seems to be the ones to go for in this category and available for around £49/£109 brand new.

Received them today and have to say I am very impressed. Look great, very comfortable and great natural sound. They also look mint. The touch panel is very clever and they have great range. Not sure I would pay RRP but for £169 they are a bargain! Great find IWannaBeAdored!

Only if philips brought out the Fidelio X2 in wireless. All my headphones (fidelio X2 and V Moda M100) have 3.2mm wired jack, I'm concerned that future phones won't even have a 3.2mm jack anymore.

Yep, got mine today too and they also look pretty mint. Nice sound and comfortable so far. I had a pair of Plantronics Backbeat Pro which sounded great too but were a bit big and unweildy. I'm happy with these. I sold my phone with DAC onboard so I'm just on my Tab S2 but still sounding nice.

Re 21, it is called presence. You can hear just outside the range you think you can hear, but the fact is everybody's hearing range is different and your hearing diminishes with age. For some people people they won't tell any difference, regardless of costs.

I had to pay Eon £380 for 2 months gas (and another £160 for 6 weeks electric) over Christmas so, although expensive, £169 for a treat isn't so bad. Plus, if I look after them, the resale value on these is good. I've been looking for a long time. Had these on a watch but got fed up and decided to go for it. I can do without heat and power for a few months.

Why are there all these refurbished "deals" appearing? Would never buy refurbed headphones.

Both The y50's and y50bt's are What Hi-fi's best budget headphones, both compare with headphones much more expensive, the B&O's don't even get a mention at any level. I have a pair of both and can't fault them, the bt's are the best wireless headphones I've heard when paired with my Pioneer XDP-100r, performance and battery life are superb for a compressed signal probably down to a bit of electronic tinkering and that they use aptx when available.

Btw I also own a set of Shure SE846's so I'm used to hearing quality, they obviously can't compare with the detail and quality from those but I have yet to see a pro review that recommends anything under £300 over the AKG's simply because of the rediculous value for money they are.

Customer return, hmm they'll probably up end smelling of BO more like. I've got more jokes, I'm just waiting for the right time to use them, this definitely was the right time.

Annoying they don't work with ps4...

thats £165 too much for me :neutral_face:

Sadly most BT versions are usually twice the price of their wired counterparts.

An excuse for manufacturers to charge obscene prices for their headphones.

"Returned by customer". Headphones. Ew. No thanks.The price may well be good but some things need to be bought new and unused.

My QC35's are better than these. I had them on a trial with B&O then I opted to buy the QC35's.

Heat added for the price I dont think you can get better though.

Ive the H6's and I love them.

Overpriced style.

Glad your pleased with your purchase :smiley:

'Seller refurbished - Customer returned product. Fully working, with all accessories in original box. Will show light signs of use (e.g. small scratches) 12 Months Warranty'

That's what put me off purchasing them. And returns aren't free if your not happy with the condition of the headset. Been this price for a while too.

Good price if you don't mind rolling the dice.
I went with the V-Moda deal from the other week instead.
