B&O Play by Bang & Olufsen has introduced a high-end active noise canceling, wireless on-ear headphones for $500. The new model H8 headphones are sleek and lightweight, and give you up 14 hours of playtime even with the noise cancellation turned on. This should give you enough playtime for most long haul flights but if you run out of battery, you just plug in your audio cord or change the battery in a snap.

Everything can be controlled by gently touching the intuitive touch interface placed on the right ear cup of the headphones – it even works with your gloves on. With simple intuitive gestures on the innovative aluminium clad ear cup, you have complete control over the headphone. Just tap and swipe to do whatever commands needed whether it is answering calls, volume control, track selection or activating the Active Noise Cancellation. Even if you turn the Active Noise Cancellation on or off because of the surrounding noise or you choose to wear your BeoPlay H8 wireless for more freedom or with a cable to save the battery the sound is crisp, clean and fuelled by a passion that will have you discover all the fine details your music has to offer.
