Anyone tested the Fenix 6 with 3rd gen B&O E8s?

Former Member over 4 years ago

I love my gen1 B&O E8s for running. They have great sound, are small and are snug and comfortable over long distances.

The only issue I have when pairing and running with them with my F6 is that the sound cuts in and out while I run, which I believe is due to with the Bluetooth receiver for the earbuds being in the right ear and the watch on my left wrist. From what I understand if I wear the watch on my right wrist this should get rid of the issue.

I am just wondering if anyone with the gen3 B&O E8s or the Beoplay E8 Sports has noticed if this problem still exists with the newer version of Bluetooth they run etc.?

Hi ! I was wondering if you still had connection problems, intermittent cuts, even after changing to the latest firmware? I am considering using wireless headphones with the fenix6 but the readings on this forum are not giving much good feedback. Thank you !

Older "true wireless" headphones where one headphone receives and retransmits to the other are generally fine - the only issue here is signal. Newer ones where both headphones (generally Bluetooth 5) receive simultaneously don't work well and stutter constantly. Hopefully the upcoming Fenix will sort this once and for all since most modern headphones are this type.
