    Re: Not seen these before

    Where did you find that picture? Was it on the B&O website?

    You will get this A8 also in other colours, like orange, green, white.

    Hopefully this is not a real picture, looks awful in yellow!

    Are those the real ones B&O plans to launch or it's just a copy ?

    Cheers,

    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...

    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?

    I have rather mixed feelings about these specific yellow earphones. Look awful for me. Only good for children :D

    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... Hmm

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

    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.

    I'd rather pay the extra 50 bucks and get the amazing service B&o provides

    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 ;-)
