The BeoPlay H8 is the latest headphones to be unveiled at CES 2015. Although the BeoPlay H6 was revealed just last month, Bang & Olufsen was excited to introduce their first wireless headphone set. Bluetooth headphones may have been around for some time now, not to mention popular for convenience and style, yet the BeoPlay H8 took some time to come out.
The BeoPlay H8 boasts a touch interface that a person can use to adjust playback, change tracks, answer calls and turn on Active Noise Cancellation with only gestures. This makes it well worth the wait. Lightweight ans luxurious, the Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H8 are available in two colors. People will not want to take this on-ear design off, especially during the winter.
