Bang & Olufsen Earphones

My husband and I live in Canary Wharf, and it's hard to pass ten people and not see at least four of them sporting these headphones. With a Bang & Olufsen store just down the road from us, the hubby decided to pick up a pair to use with his iPod Nano. At the time, I was still using the bog standard white buds that came with the iPod, but was looking for headphones that I could wear to the gym without fear of them falling out. He offered to let me borrow them for the express purpose of seeing if these could be "the ones". Before I say anything else, it has to be mentioned that these do offer exquisite sound quality when used properly. Listening ...  Read the complete review

Oh boy these earphones look good! I had a haircut just so that I could show them off more! These are a stunning set of earphones both visually and audibly, besides looking fantastic they do sound really rather tasty. The sound quality is top notch and they do full justice to ABBA as well as Children Of Bodom. The adjustability is a feature that works surprisingly well, when I first looked at them I couldn't really see why earphones would need to be that adjustable, after all they just sit in your ear. However after fidling with them a little I found that it was possible to make them exceptionally comfortable. So much so that if it wasn't for the music delicately ...  Read the complete review

The sound quality from these headphones is great. They're very well made - I've had my pair for 4 years now with no problems at all, and I throw them around. A lot. They're great to wear when you go out for a jog. The shape of them and the fact that they hug your ears so well means that you forget that you're wearing them. I've had issues in the past with earphones falling out when I go for a run. One slightly negative thing is that the metal of the ear piece rubs the top, inside of my ears a bit. It sounds quite minor, but can be a distraction. Then again, I've had them for 4 years and haven't replaced them, which I guess highlights the fact that I ...  Read the complete review

First off, these headphones appear to be very well made. Before, I stuck with the standard apple iPod headphones, and got through 3 or so every year as they all inevitably broke. The B & O headphones are very adjustable, and can probably fit pretty much any ear type. It takes a while to put them on the first time, but after a while it becomes second nature. The sounds quality is very good and crisp. There's no sign of any distortion when playing music very loud (although I've been told by my wife that they leak quite a lot of sound!). The only problem I have with the sound is that there's a lack of bass - however, this is only natural on headphones ...  Read the complete review

The sound quality is excellent, the fit is very comfortable and they are extremely durable. I have had mine for 3 years now and there is absolutely no loss in quality and performance. My only gripe with these is that there is no noise-cancelling in-ear bud available to place over the top of the normal earphones. So when using on public transport (especially underground train lines) you get a lot of noise coming in. If you're listening to quiet music, you need to have the volume on your player near enough to MAX to try to cancel out the offending noise. Bang and Olufsen would do well to manufacture such replacement ear buds.
