Re: Not seen these before
Where did you find that picture? Was it on the B&O website? Craig

Re: Not seen these before
Are those the real ones B&O plans to launch or it's just a copy ? Cheers, Guy

Re: Not seen these before
These are not fake :-) Struer is launching them in a couple of flashy colors :-)
The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march.

Re: Not seen these before
I must admit I like them too. I think when things like headphones are worn, they can often be a fashion statement. They are a relatively cheap introduction to Bang & Olufsen for the younger generation who own an iPod but want good quality headphones... V

Re: Not seen these before
Hmmm. This yellow must be an acquired taste, I guess. Not my cup of tea, but it's nice to see that B&O will offer a range of colours.

Re: Not seen these before
I think they look cheap & tacky but probably a good marketing ploy. The young 'uns will like them, and as stated earlier not a bad & inexpensive way as an introduction to B&O (whether they will appreciate them is another matter). Lets see how the fakers get on with copying them eh? Chris.
The use of metaphors should be avoided like the plague. They're like a red rag to a bull to me.

Re: First Photo of YELLOW A8 Earphones
I do not like the colour one... but maybe people will like to match the color of their mp3 player...

Re: First Photo of YELLOW A8 Earphones
The rumor I heard is that the new colors match the new iPod Nano colors.

Re: First Photo of YELLOW A8 Earphones
I think they will match the iPods perfectly, even better than now. But I have a black iPod...

I think we had the same idea at the same time!

Re: First Photo of YELLOW A8 Earphones
By the way, the new flagship Apple Store in Melbourne (chadstone shopping mall) is now retailing B&O A8s and B&O Form 2 Headphones AT $50 LESS THAN THE B&O STORES !!!

Re: First Photo of YELLOW A8 Earphones
This is awful. When I first saw the picture without clicking to the link, I thought this is a fake product found on ebay or somewhere. The yellow color just doesn't match with the aluminum frame. It looks like a toy rather than a serious headphone. In addition, this is very sad if B&O is really making their A8 earphones in iPod Nano colors. I thought B&O will lose their identity and is willing to become one of the iPod accessories manufacturers.

Very edgy and intellectual. Turning something that looks very serious into something fun. Cool!

Re: First Photo of YELLOW A8 Earphones
Have they been designed to be used with those awful Sony Sports Walkmans from the 80s??? I think they would have been better using white ones if this was designed as a publicity stunt.

You're right. This was exact the same procedure B&O got me ;-) I saw those headphones in a catalog for the 1st time and it was love at the first sight. I searched a store, listened to them and bought them. I just loved the metal quality and the great sound!
After putting them to my iPod I realised very soon that the iPod sounds bad! The A8 showed the low sound quality of the iPod to my ears. I then did some research and switched to a Sony Vaio Pocket and it was absolutely great to listen to, with the A8 headphones.
Since then I realy do like some stuff from Struer ;-)
