So i just got the B&O E8 2.0 for USD$285 and so far it seems "Premium". The case uses Genuine Leather like texture, and smells like real leather(i hope it isnt real leather).

Audio quality is top notch B&O grade but sadly the bass is kind of weak, even tough i tweaked the earphones with the B&O app.

The earphones also come with gestures, more or less like the Galaxy Buds. Tap right once to play/pause song or answer/end a call, tap twice right to change song, hold right to increase volume, tap left once for ambient mode(it literally turns off the music and make you have super sensitive ears), hold left to decrease volume, tap left twice to play previous song.

Problems i faced.
1. When using both left and right earphones, and with phone in pocket, music often stutters.
2. EVERYTIME i take the earphones out of the case, i have to turn them on.
3. I can use both at once OR just the right earphone. I cant just use the left earphone.
4. Max volume is kind of low.

Evidently, the right earphone is the Bluetooth one (the connection to the left one may be Bluetooth too, but that's on a "private channel" between the two of them), so if you put the phone in your left pants pocket, the Bluetooth signal has to go through your body - which is iffy - it depends on your body.

So either keep the phone in your right pants pocket, or switch the earphones - and see if their app lets you switch the signals if you're a purist and like the violins on the left and the bases on the right.

Owh im sorry i forgot to stat that i do keep my phone in my right pocket. The app only lets you tune the EQ and Ambient mode... Well this sucks...
