Bang & Olufsen Form 2 Headphones

VERY clear, VERY comfortable....

but a little flimsy feeling for $99, and the bass response isn't as good as it could be.

still, these are very clear sounding, open and full headphones that will certainly give you better sound quality than your average headphones, but with less bass respose than most people would probably like.

oh so close

Great feel, great look, but ultimately the sound is not materially better than the standard I-pod headphones. I really liked just about everything about these headphones. The were comfortable, looked cool with their sleek looks and B&O emblem. I initially thought the difference might be the limited power of the I-pod amp but with the handy standard headphone jack adapter I tried them and the stock I-pod headphones with my Rotel home system. Both sounded equally better but I couldn't tell the difference. I am a B&O fan and have a 1970s vintage system that I love but the truth is I couldn't justify the additional cost for these.

Style over Substance

Like the ladies that wear summertime clothes in the winter just to look good at the club. . . In all honesty the B&O A8's has a very unique sleek mod design. If your aim is to turn some heads these will do it. As for the sound quality... I could blabber on and on about "bass response, highs, mids, and yadi-dadi." I won't do that because these are not in that echelon of earphones. These are basic earphones for the casual listener, to put it plain and simple I give em a 7.5 out of 10 for sound quality. They are very light and are comfortatble enough to wear for extended durations. The cord is very long, this is because they are intended for home use (plugging into your TV and sitting back on your couch) the Sumajin Cord Wrap is an ideal solution or use the twisty tie from your loaf of bread. I almost gave em 4 stars if I didn't know that there are earphones that sound significantly better for less than half the price. but then again you wouldn't "look" as cool.

Bang & Olufsen Form 2 Headphones

great design, unsatisfactory quality

These are supposed to be portable headphones. When you buy portable headphones, do not invest in an open-air set. A sales rep told me that this is supposed to provide great clearity with matching bass. What the rep did not say is that in order to obtain the decent quality, you also have to play at high volumes. A volume level at which your neighbors next to on the bus ride will hear. The bass isn't the best either. The volume control is unsatisfactory. The design is unique but quality is sub-par. For the price tag, you're better off getting a pair of grados.
