Bang & Olufsen Form 2 Headphones
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.

what a disappointment

What a disappointment. Disappointed in B&O and disappointed in Apple for carrying their product in their online store.
These headphones might look neat but it's just cheap plastic and metal. They hurt your head. They don't sound any better than the free earphones you get on airplanes, and they are already falling apart after about a week.

Uncomfortable
Written by RH from Nashville

Lot of style but unfortunately very uncomfortable against the ears after about 10 minutes. The metal band puts too much pressure on the ears. I returned mine the next day.

Its a luxury good...

I just got them in the mail and tried it. Umm..no difference whatsoever to the ipod earplugs. I can admit the fact that its a headturner...only because the passerbys can hear the music as loud as you can. Its a dud and quite honestly I feel duped. It might look sexy in a metrosexual way but it doesnt justify the three digit price tag
dont get me started on the cord...you gotta be kidding me...
Use the phones that just came with the ipod...atleast not these.17 of 42 people found this useful

b&o make great products but these headphones arent ipod friendly...
the cord is INSANELY long... literally you would have to wrap the cord to a huge ball of cord just to make it the length of the default ipod earbuds...
i returned this thing in a hurry, right after opening the box.
i think this was bang & olufsens home headphone and they decided to aim it at the ipod market. poor poor choice.
save yourself 99 bucks.

Looks great, sounds terrible
Written by SG from Oklahoma City

I'm no audiophile ("oh, listen to those lovely woodwinds!"), but I do know when something sounds good, and these just don't. I bought these based on the brand and great looks to replace my Koss Portapros (ugly, 80s design... half price... sound wonderful) but they don't live up to the price. I honestly would have been unhappy with the sound even if they were $10 -- they're that bad. My iPod headphones have better sound. Also, unless I have a gigantic head and didn't know it, these are pretty small and tight. Not recommended!

Let's be honest
Written by KM from Downingtown

If you are buying these for your ipod-don't!-The cord is insanely long and there is no way to conceal the bundle. It looks like you stole a pair of headphones from you dad's old stereo equipment. And as far as sound-maybe I'm going deaf but I cannot tell the difference between these and any other heaphone under $100
