What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Bang & Olufsen H9i Wireless Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation
- Very light and I don't feel the pressure on my head. The sound is incredible on these. There is just a right mix for me.
- The headphones are light and comfortable and very clearly marked to differentiate the left and right sides. They look and feel like great quality overall.
- They are very comfortable and have an excellent build quality. Though not the lightest weight headphones in the world, the weight feels well balanced and not at all tiring.
- I've used these for many hours straight at work and after a minute they don't even feel like they're there. Best headphones I've ever owned.
- The sound is great. The fit and feel are great. Build quality is great.
Bang & Olufsen H8i Wireless Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)
- The headset weights 215g without cable and 225g with it (less than 10 Oz) which makes it reasonably light.
- Over the years I have had difficulty finding headphones that were lightweight and wireless that also worked well. These are absolutely perfect!
- It is lightweight and the controls (on/off, volume, etc..) are on the bottom parts of the left and right headphones.
- The comfort is excellent. The noise reduction is great. The feel, look, weight...all really as good as it gets. You get what you pay for.
- They are comfortable and light, but I'm not used to large headphones so they want to fall forward and swing off my head when I look down too sharply.

What customers say about "Power"
Bang & Olufsen H9i Wireless Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation
- The battery life is incredible. I can listen practically all day and still not need to charge them. It's great.
- Battery life is impeccable, I have been using it for a week at a stretch and I charged it just ONCE!
- Best sound quality sounds, comfort and very long battery life. Well worth the expense.
- Battery showed 90% charged after 24 hours of charging, both on the Apple display and on the B&O app.
- Great sound, battery shows 90% after a full charge though, odd!
Bang & Olufsen H8i Wireless Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)
- The battery life is a great point for this headset. I have been using it for about 4 hours now without recharging it and the battery has barely decreased.
- The battery life is excellent. I haven't timed how long it lasts, but I can go a week or two without worrying about charging, even with heavy use and ANC on.
- I will say the only two quality features on these headphones is the noise cancellation and the battery life.
- Battery life is as advertised or better, never an issue and recharging is very quick.
- I had trouble deciding between the h9i and h8i due to the over ear difference, but I’m glad I went with the on ear because the battery life is superior to the h9i.
