The buds demonstrated great speech recognition and picked up every syllable that came out of my mouth. Google Assistant and Siri are supported on the Beoplay E8 Sport as well, allowing for hands-free engagement with your devices. Each tap and long press are registered accurately for instantaneous results. There is even the option to control volume by laying your finger on either earbud to lower (left) or raise (right) sound. Accepting, rejecting or ending calls can be executed on either bud. The left is reserved for turning on Transparency Mode (one tap) or playing a previous track (double tap), while the right takes on play/pause (one tap), next track (double track) and the voice assistant (triple tap). B&O is one of them, placing a ton of functionality and intelligibility at the tip of your fingers.Įach bud hosts a variety of different commands that can be enabled through single, double or triple taps. A few models in the category have gone this same route, but only a handful have executed it properly. The Beoplay E8 Sport is completely button-less, opting for a responsive touch interface on each bud that accepts a combination of tap gestures. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay E8 Sport: Touch controls

The ridged design has a smooth finish and holds up well under stress, staving off scuffs and scratches far better than the AirPods case. Considering how durable it feels, I was surprised by how light it felt in hand and pocket: 1.9 ounces (without the buds). The charging case is even more eye-grabbing, laced in rubberized polymer that resembles vinyl, with the B&O logo engraved on the top for instant recognition.
