Bang & Olufsen Black A8 Series Earphones - 1640611

I bought the A8 after some research. I choose A8 over in-ear ones because I was not looking for total noise isolation (although I am saving up to eventually buy custom in-ear monitors). As for the sound, I think these are very good. I have read a lot of reviews saying that the bass is weak, but I find no problem in that part. Obviously, the bass is "weaker" than in-ear ones or full-sized headphones, but for me I think it is fine as it is (I hate it when bass overpowers everything). Other reviews also say that highs are good with the A8, and I agree. I was especially blown away when I listened to classical pieces; I would say these are at the same level as my Sennheiser full-sized headphones in that area. I would not classify myself as an audiophile, so I do not know all the headphone mechanical jargon, but I have been playing instruments since I was little and I would like to think that I have relatively well-trained ears.As for wearing them, I found it a bit awkward at first. There are so many moving parts that I needed to jiggle it around a bit to find the "correct" orientation and fit (and I needed to use the mirror a bit). But after a few days, I got used to putting them on with no problem. At first, even when I had them on correctly, these felt like they were about to fall off. I actually ran and jumped around, and to my surprise, these stayed on. I was also worried a bit before purchasing the A8, because I sometimes wear glasses and have my hair down, but I had no problem. I even tried them with my sunglasses and I was still able to put them on. I guess another good thing with the A8 is that they look very stylish, if you care about such things. I admit, the price is a bit high, but after few weeks of trying these out, I think they are worth it, but there are others out there at lower prices.I would caution people buying these from non-authorized sellers (e.g. [...]). If they are at a price that are too good to be true, there is a high chance that they are fakes, so do your research!

I'm on my second pair of these headphones. They're excellent - outstanding sound. Work well for exercising due to over-the-ear construction. Had to replace my first pair because the wire broke. Disappointing, but then again, I did have them for over 5 years and got much use out of them. Like them so much that I didn't shop around - just went straight back to these.

I really liked the product. It is really Comfortable. I still think it is little bit pricy though.

I just love these headphones. They're comfortable, adjustable, and they have great sound. Yeah, they're pricey, but you get what you pay for.
