A marvel of sound technology

16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Bright, non-offensive highs, great horns, deep bass, handles plenty of power.
Cons Some might balk at the price, but i'd buy them at 2x the price.
Recommended it? Yes

Once in a while, a product I purchase far exceeds my expectations. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it's something I really, truly enjoy. This is one of those products.

I'm an audiophile. I have a rather extensive collection of CD's (over 600 at last count), I'm really diverse in... Read full review »

Pros Sound detail is incredible, design is brilliant, nice case

Recommended it? Yes

I have been using my Bang and Olufsen A8 headphones for several months now, so I thought I would revisit the reviews in here and add some thoughts of my own.

First of all, these cost $160 retail in the USA, but I ordered them from eBay for a bit less than $100. They sell for about $100... Read full review »

The long long search

I've searched high and low for as long as I can remember for quality, comfortable earphones for when I'm on the go. It started with the Walkman, then the Discman, and now with my trusted Mini Disc player (I have a Sony MZ-R900 Mini Disc player which I highly... Read full review »

Pros Great sound, incredible comfort, impeccable design
Cons $160 is expensive!
Recommended it? Yes

I hadn't thought about buying the new Bang & Olufsen earphones until trying them out one day in a New York City B&O store. They were so stylish and comfortable! I already had a pair of $100 Sennheiser SP-25s, but I decided to get the earphones anyway -- I figured I could sell my headphones on eBay... Read full review »

Pros -Sound -Comfort -Durability -Aesthetics
Cons NONE
Recommended it? Yes

Bang and Olufsen are renowned worldwide as a brand that provides quality audio products. Quality is of course almost always directly proportional to the price you pay for a product. Though B&O is also known for their high prices, their products' quality I daresay, is unequaled to that of major... Read full review »

Though I had always seen or read about these earphones, I was never compelled to buy them until I actually had the pleasure of listening to them at their store in Seattle.

After one listen, i had to have them.

Pros Super fit, super sound, high quality, very comfortable
Cons Expensive
Recommended it? Yes

These are wonderful headphones. First I tried the Bose in the ear headphones -- sound quality was just adequate, but they wouldn't stay in. Next I tried the Sure ear buds. Their fit was impossible. So much for their hype about blocking of outside noise - they kept falling out and would not fit my... Read full review »
