Overview

EarSet 3 is Bang & Olufsen's first stereo headset with built-in microphone. At any level of activity, it stays firmly and comfortably in place, ensuring the optimal sound experience. Yet the dynamic full-tone loudspeakers allow some environmental noise to filter through, so you can be aware of what's going on around you.

Crafted from anodized aluminum and hard rubber, EarSet 3 is flexible and extremely durable. These robust and scratch-free materials combine quality and comfort with state-of-the-art design. And for further convenience and protection, EarSet 3 comes equipped with a specially designed leather carrying case.

    Great sound poor construction

    Written by RR from MERCED

    May 24, 2009

    I think this is the best earphones on the market as far as sound and comfort go. My complaint is the vinyl chord. Although I'm surRead moree it's cheaper to make after a while the chords start to twist and become very uncomfortable. In my past experience I have found that the fabric chords are much my comfortable and do not twist. Also if they provided a clothing clip below the mic the left ear chord would be less likely to pull away from the mic button when the chord snags on something which it frequently does. Try looking at Audio Technica ATH-Em7. Fit isn't that great around the ear but very nice sound with fabric chord.

    My Single Greatest Purchase for iPhone 3G

    Written by RH from OCEAN

    May 19, 2009

    This product is by far the greatest accessory to my iPhone 3G. So far, they are the only headphones that have stayed in place, thRead moreey sound unbelievable and have lasted me longer than any other headphones. The reviews that say they are made from cheap materials must have done something wrong with them because they went through both the wash and dryer and still work perfectly. Absolutely worth every penny!

    DOA...

    The right ear piece worked and sounded fairly nice. Too bad the left ear piece was busted straight out of the box. Big pain retuRead morerning them -- they gave me the run around at the Apple store, even though I returned them a day or two after purchase. Ugh.

    B&O E3 - Best so far!!

    Written by MM from Tiburon

    Apr 16, 2008

    I've tried several headsets (Vibe, Bose, Apple, Sure, etc.) for the iPhone and I've never been completely satisfied. In fact, I'veRead more spent more money on the headsets than I have on my iPhone. This headset is hands down the best I have used thus far. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the in ear noise cancelling headphones, they pop out, don't seal properly and you hear every cord vibration when you move; not to mention you can not hear ambient noise (somewhat dangerous).

    The B&O E3 do cost a bit more, but given I have several sets that I don't use and I've purchased 3 pair of the apple headsets (cheaply made), cost is a relative issue. The build quality on the E3 appears to be very high and they adjust to fit any ear, very impressive design. I have yet to see if the cord at the mini pin connector will last, those seem to wear out quickly on all the headsets, fortunately that is repairable.

    Pros:
    - All the functions of the original apple headset (play, pause, call pick-up, end, etc.)
    - Fit & Comfort, these are extremely comfortable. No ear fatigue and they don't fall out. B&O, amazing design (they look pretty cool to).
    - Sound Quality is excellent, including the microphone

    Cons:
    - The right ear cord has to go behind your neck or hang in front, you get use it quickly.

    If your having trouble finding a headset and you want that need button (call answer/end, play/ pause), try these out. I think you will be satisfied, I know I am.

    Finally, I am done trying headphones for the iPhone...

    Written by GN from Chicago

    Apr 28, 2008

    The included iPhone set hurt my ears after a few minutes. My V-Modas broke and had no button. The Bose with the iPhone adapter wRead moreere too long. The Shure 210s had to go uncomfortably deep in my ear to sound good and the mic from the adapter was too far from my mouth.

    The B&O EarSet 3 are as good as it gets for the iPhone. Great sound, barely can feel they are on. Mic works well, is placed close to your mouth and the button is easy to click. If you are discerning and own an iPhone this is the set to get. I have tried many.

    These are the Headphones You Want

    Written by SB from Santa Barbara

    Apr 22, 2008

    After trying three different pairs of headphones, these are the ones to keep. Sound quality is superb, detailed and rich. The fiRead moret is REALLY comfortable, and the integration to the iPhone is flawless. For what they do, I think they are very reasonably priced.
