These are incredible, crystal clear, smooth and warm sounding , these are like hearing a stockfisch recording on my Martin Logan's through a Mcintosh amp. Hands down better then anything out there that's less then 400 bucks. the only thing I don't like is the cord.

If you bought this A8 from Ebay... used, new, from china/japan/korea/hongkong/singapore whatever, then sorry your A8 is FAKE. I can assure you 150%.

I'm sure listening to compressed MP3 files on an ipod will limit the A8's performance. I listen to uncompressed Flac files on a Hifiman HM-601 portable player and what a combo! I am very impressed. These sound better than my $450 in ear monitors. It's a matter of match... and personal sound preference.

Strength:
crstal clear, beautiful state of the art design, small compact, flexable to the ear adjustment.
Weakness:
Bass is not great however, not other size speakers for earphones but still delivers great mid-ranges and precise clarity. B&O leads the audio/video industry with innovative technology products so it's no surprise to me that they would make an outstanding products such as the a8, the design is sleek and classy and the sound that pumps out of these tiny little speakers is mind blowing crystal clear and clean, yes its a bit pricey but why compromise your hearing to garbage your ears deserve the best sound that can be delivered,B&O hit this one out of the park. Customer Service no problems. Similar Products Used: bose, no comparison. |

Strength:
- Excellent Tonal Clarity
Weakness:
- A bit lacking in bass (not really a problem though, it makes them sound very clear and open) First off, I would like to point out that I am a 15-year-old audiophile. We're a rare breed, but we do exist. It drives me crazy when people listen to their iPods using only one earbud, especially when that earbud is white and apple-branded. Anyway, these earphones are probably the best I have used. I have tried models from Grado, Shure, Audio-Technica, and Yuin, none of which even compare to the clarity of the B&O's. I also have the Form 2's, which do sound a bit better, but are much more cumbersome and are best left alone in my studio Customer Service Excellent! They really stand behind their product! Similar Products Used: Yuin PK1+PK2

Strength:
If you are uncomfortable with in-ear head phones, these might be the choice for you.
Weakness:
Sound quality, price, and (for an active person) fit. I am constantly listening to my Ipod and was excited to get this pair of headphones from such a high end company as Bang & Olufsen. However, I found these headphones to be disappointing. The sound quality was inferior to my previous pair of 30$ Skullcandy headphones purchased at Target. The difference was mostly in base. Despite B&O's attempts to make a good fitting head set, the head phones would come loose when I tried to jog with them. The Skullcandy headphones, on the other hand, came with three different size rubber attachments to fit in any ear size snuggly. I can jog and ski and do just about anything in these with comfort and superior sound- and for a fraction of the cost! |
