I prefere too Form 2 to A8, there are many reasons:
- longer cable
- less heating of the ear, I can move the position +/- 1cm when is too hot
- better awareness of the ambient sound
and finally better sound from my point of view, I suppose that the surface of the membrane being bigger than in A8 does this difference?
Note: I used both A8 and Form 2 on BS2 and a MacBook Pro (anyway BS2 sounds better than Mac's soundcard)
