Product Overview

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay E8 3rd-Gen are sleek true wireless in-ear headphones with a long battery life and premium construction. Unlike other B&O products, the E8 3rd-Gen are not highly exclusive, and their features and design reflect this positioning.
In terms of features, the Beoplay E8 3rd boast a 7-hour battery life for each charge, while the charging case offers four additional extensions. The 35-hour combined playtime puts these headphones among the most durable on the market today. B&O has also made sure that each earbud in the E8 3rd has two microphones for superb call quality, and Bluetooth 5.1 is used for efficiency and sound quality.
Beyond these, however, the Beoplay E8 3rd-Gen are bare in features: There is no noise cancellation of any kind, and fancy digital processing functionalities that many competitors tout have not found their ways here. This "inadequacy" has been remedied by the Beoplay EQ released in 2021.
Design-wise, these Beoplay earphones are good, but not great, either.

Reviewers from trustedreviews have found:
B&O Beoplay E8 3rd Gen offer excellent audio quality out of the box. Sound is wonderfully dynamic, with crescendos and breakdowns universally feeling weighty and suitably impactful. Lows, mids and highs all felt suitably separated when listening to complex, layered classical and post-rock arrangements. However, there’s no active noise cancellation, which is a glaring omission considering their hefty price.
Pros
  • Excellent sound quality
  • Excellent battery life
  • Comfortable fit
Cons
  • No active noise cancellation
  • Touch controls are a little chunky
