Bang & Olufsen Form 2 Headphones

Good Headphone From B&O

Cool old-school style design. Even though everyone just focus on A8, we shouldn't ignore the beautiful sound comes from From 2.
The cons about Form 2 is that the cord is too thin and the plug is easy to break....Best solution is to change the cable and the plug.

Don't Waste Your Money...

Written by MM from Flushing

(1) Extremely uncomfortable (although this is admittedly a purely subjective observation) (2) Reproduction that is blurry around the edges and annoyingly ambiguous throughout (3) Solid headpiece, but speakers and cables are mechanically flimsy (4) Cable is much too short for flexibility and comfort—useless if you want to use with your MacBook (5) B&O technical assistance and customer service is courteous, but (like the sound reproduction) annoyingly ambiguous. Nothing can ever be resolved. I returned mine to Apple and bought the Sennheiser HD595. The B&O A8s are not any better, unless one is accustomed to hearing music played inside a fuel oil storage tank.

can't buy a better pair of headphones for 99

Written by OB from Palatine

My escapade of shopping for a pair of headphones seemed never ending. First of all, if you are looking for a pair of ear buds, you are not going to find a decent pair under 200 dollar. So you might be better off with a good pair of good ol fashioned headphones for sonic quality. I tried the shure se115 and thought they were absolutely awful. no low end or mids for 100?!???! they also came with a rattle in them. then i was talked into the apple in ear headphones. same story only no rattle. then i tested two different pair of bose headphones and i thought they were heavy on lows with no high end. what is a buyer to do if they only want to spend 100 dollars?

enter the B&O Form 2. I was hesitant b/c apple did not have a test pair and i was tired of shopping. i went home and immediately tested them with Bach's St John Passion on CD....WOW!!!! then i tested them with Radiohead OK Computer on the record player. found sounds in there i never heard. Finally, i tried some stuff on my ipod and they were equally impressive given the poor sound quality of an mp3. The overall balance on these are quite astounding and they aren't too bulky at all. i really enjoy these and you can't go wrong. I should also add that i am a studio musician that has been playing and recording for over 10 years. enjoy.

Blew me away!

I've been an audiophile for life, once I heard the quality of these headphones, I must say that the Bang & Olufsen sound quality is just what it is, Quality! People on here are complaining about the bass, the thing about B&O, the reproduced sound is the sound that was meant to be heard, no overkill, no undertone. I rate this a 5 star, if I could I would put a hundred. Mix B&O with a Mac and or iPod, you can't go wrong. Design, form and function! Enjoy this work of art!

Bang & Olufsen Form 2 Headphones

Balanced Design & Quality.

After having the apple in-ear headphones for about three years, I felt the need to change headphones, and I found these and it was love at first sight.

They may look very delicate, but they're pretty durable and the sound is amazing, it's like rediscovering my entire music collection.

Two cons: not meant for very long-term use, as they tend to hurt after a while, and the bass isn't as strong as I'd like it to be, but that's passable with the level of quality in sound.

I have had these headphones for about a year and they are AMAZING! There is crystal clear quality! The only thing I don't like about these headphones is that the wire is extremely LONG!! Because of this, I usually leave them at home.

Bang & Olufsen Form 2 Headphones

Solid sound, comfy fit

Written by WM from Dallas

These headphones deliver a nice quality sound. There's not a whole lot of bass, nor is it too tinny. The sound is flat and, I believe, perfectly balanced.
The fit is nice. Since they are lightweight, they are very comfortable. The cord is extremely long, which can be a pain. That's my only complaint. They could have opted for an extension.

disappointed to this product

although this headphone looks so cool, but it is not comfortable for long time user. Plus, it is relatively expensive but the quality is not outstanding.
