Headphones Announcement

Bang&Olufsen updated its Beoplay E8 truly wireless (TWS) earbuds which now come with improved battery life, Bluetooth 5.1 and a USB-C charging case. The earbuds have also been slimmed down in size compared to their predecessors and now weigh in at 5.8 grams each. Another improvement comes in the microphone department where each earbud now houses two mics for improved voice pickup and better in-call noise cancellation.
