The global luxury lifestyle brand, Bang & Olufsen, have announced yet another brilliant product: The Beoplay E8 2.0. In what was publicly revealed in Copenhagen on January 3rd, 2019, the new Beoplay E8 2.0 comes with a wireless charging case and is the perfect set of earphones to use on the go or when relaxing at home. The aesthetically pleasing design coupled with its superior sound and visceral touch control capabilities grants the user full control over music, phone calls and voice commands. These Beoplay E8, which mark the first true wireless earphones for the brand, were created for those who don’t wish to compromise sound and design in favor of a wireless lifestyle .
Since Bang & Olufsen was founded in 1925 by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen, there has been a firm pursuit in creating products that break through boundaries of audio technology of which place them as the vanguard of audio innovation. Their products have been defined by a unique style that integrates extraordinary sound, timeless motif, and remarkable craftsmanship. The release of the new Beoplay E8 2.0 not only reflects Bang & Olufsen’s unique style, but also showcases their technological advances by upgrading the original Beoplay E8 model.
Beoplay E8 2.0 is far superior to its original version as it now includes both better design improvements and some newly added features.
A premium leather charging case with a new, exclusive form factor and wireless charging feature offers the Beoplay E8 2.0 user a genuinely wireless experience. These earphones can be charged just about anywhere by keeping them in their case on a wireless charging pad. The wireless charging case can hold a max of three full charges that would provide 16 hours of continuous sound time for its user. This aspect only reveals the superior features of the 2.0 over the original, which could only offer 12 hours of play time. The extended time can provide users with a full day of jamming to tunes without any fear of loss of battery life. On the front of the case there is an LED light that displays the state of charging, while on the back of the case there are three LED lights, of which each signify the number of full charges left. Crafted using cowhide leather and single or double brushed anodized aluminium, the wireless charging pad, which supports regular charging (5W) and fast charging (10W), pairs perfectly with the Beoplay E8 2.0 as well as your smartphone.
Owners of the original Beoplay E8 earphones can also benefit from the newer model. Because the previous version also fit perfectly into the new wireless charging case, Bang & Olufsen has made it possible for them to revel in the benefits of wireless charging. They now have the opportunity to own the new wireless charging case. Not only is the charging case going to be sold separately, you can also purchase the left and right earphones individually as well.
Bang & Olufsen’s adept sound engineers have similarly tuned the new earphones, much like how the original Beoplay E8 were. The sound engineers have used their expertise in configuring the new earphones audio tunage to offer an unrivaled listening experience for your ears. The specifications surrounding the audio functions are very meticulous: each earpiece shelters a 5.7mm dynamic speaker, a small electromagnetic transducer, NFMI technology (Near Field Magnetic Induction) and a Bluetooth 4.2 chip with Digital Sound Processing that accounts for dynamic sound tuning and uninterrupted sound. In addition, you can tune the sound of the earphones yourself by using the Bang & Olufsen app for Android and iPhone devices.
Overall, the Beoplay E8 2.0 comes with a premium leather wireless charging case, five ear tips, and USB-C charging cable. Available in Black, Indigo Blue, Natural and Limestone, the earphones retail for 350 EUR/USD. All colour offerings are available at Bang & Olufsen stores and selected third party retailers from 14 February 2019. As for the colour options for the wireless charging pad, it will be available in the same colours as the earphones. Though the retail price for the charging pad has yet to be made public, the wireless charging case will retail for 200 EUR/USD and the separate left and right Beoplay E8 2.0 earphones retail for 125 EUR/USD. The wireless charging pad, wireless charging case and separate Beoplay E8 2.0 earphones will be available from April 2019.
