Strength:

None

Weakness:

Too expensive, low quality

I am taking these things back, not even CLOSE to worth the money. I was on a plane and the guy next to me let me try his new Bose headphones, they blew these away! Man, was I pissed!

Strength:

Sound is excellent, Long cord and Stylish

Weakness:

Comfort to a degree

I was shocked when I saw the price of all Bang and Olufsen equipment, thinking 'What's so special?'. So, one month when I had some spare cash, I bought a pair of Form 2. It was like a whole different experience, The precision and sharpness of the music I was listening to was amazing!

The bass was there (and felt), but was not overpowering
The midrange works very well
and the high-end was crisp and clear

For example, whilst listening to Sgt. Pepper (The Beatles), you can actually hear the acoustics of the studio in the background, just like you were there!

Also, try plugging the set into your TV set. The acoustics of the studio can be heard better then.

The only weakness for myself is comfort. After an extensive period, they did start to irritate my ears where the foam pad rested. Also the long cord can be tedious at times.

All in all, a spendid time is guarenteed for all!

Strength:

Very Good building quality, The excellent soun and the design

Weakness:

Can´t find any

Well, I think this is the best headphones i ever had, It´s stylish and the sound does really separate headphones.
I´d for the most use them together with a Ipaq Pocket pc and a so called Bostaroo mini-ampfilier and it works great!

Strength:

Great sound, lightweight, long cord

Weakness:

Cost of replacement pieces, fragile carbon headband

I have happily used these headphones for many years - enjoying superb sound, but I have had to replace the headband, and now I have to replace the little foam earpieces. These two little pieces of foam are going to cost me US$35.00! I cannot believe that the foam is more than a third the value of the headphones. I get the feeling I'm being ripped off!

Strength:

Excellent sound

It's the first time I've used high-quality headphones. I've used lots of £25 headphones and these £60 B&O things are like listening to a different track! The bass does not swamp the midrange and the treble is not tinny. Lots of cable, comfortable on the head and they look incredibly stylish. I'm truly impressed. How they compare to other high-end equipment, I don't know, but I'm quite happy with these for now. Also, I bought some decent speaker cables. They didn't cost much but have made a huge difference.

Nothing of this quality - only cheaper headphones
