Excellent service? Apple blows everyone away. The Apple stores here in the States carry the A8s and Form 2. Interesting the store near my house uses a Beocom 4 wireless for their phone calls.

If I'm honest, I bought my iPod Nano in black so they would fit with my A8s. I am getting the new iPhone 16GB in a couple of months so I am very interested to see the A8s in white.

As for these yellow ones, I think they are a great accessory for the younger market. What a simple and easy way to interest more youngsters into the brand. Granted you will need to be wearing something that will go with the colour of the A8s and be able to "walk the talk" (or whatever the saying is), but after that you would look pretty "fly"

Okay..... why does this/first pic with the plastic parts in yellow looking way better than the ones with the anodized metal being the coloured parts? Is the design not confirmed yet?

The yellow plastic just remembers me something from the past...

Like Tomaz, I thought that it would be the aluminium which will be coloured...

I have to admit perfect match !!! Now I have to find one of those sexy Sony Walkmans .hahaha

Vast improvement Tomaz! You should get a job with B&O.

Is it just to me or shouldn't that be the other way around ... Aluminum in color and plastics in default black ?

Oh black and white.... they are so generic that we need a new word for generic. The new colours remind me of candy and early childhood. The yellow ones make me think of banana milkshakes.

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...

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 ;-)

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.
