LAS VEGAS: High-end Danish audio company Bang & Olufsen premiered had launched new pair of noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones with uninterrupted, high-quality tunes. Named the H8, the gadget is made of a flexible aluminum frame, cowhide leather, lambskin, and comfortable memory foam. It features very light, at just half a pound, replaceable battery that lasts for up to 14 hours while using all of its features.
What really sets these headphones apart, however, is their touch-based control system. Just connect user’s device via Bluetooth, pop them onto your head, and swipe from side to side on the right earphone’s surface to skip songs, or draw in a circle to turn the volume of your song up or down. User can also use these gestures to manage incoming phone calls.
The company’s product developers recognized that typical touchscreen systems are sometimes compromised in balmy or rainy weather. So they designed the H8’s earphone surface to resist these shortcomings.
The sound as with most Bang & Olufsen products was very rich and, even at high volumes, avoided distortion at deep bass levels. Once user got the hang of the touch feature after two or three swipes, it felt very intuitive, and I imagined how helpful it might be on a commute to work, when user sometimes required to listen for an announcement on the train or to, user know, interact with other human beings.H8 retail price $500.
