Customer Reviews

Finally! A pair of earphones that stay put and sound wonderful!5 I have been searching for MONTHS to find a pair of headphones that wouldn't fall off my ears during exercise. The few pairs that I have found that did stay put, would just sound awful and make my music sound as if it were playing inside a tin can. Although the price tag on this pair was a bit high for my liking, after adding up the prices of all the other headphones I have tried over the past six months, these are still a bargain by comparison. They have a really unique adjustment that allows the user to manipulate the fit behind the ears. Although this takes a few seconds longer than adjusting a traditional pair of headphones, the big difference is that once these are in place, they won't budge! Also, I can't say enough about the quality of the sound in these headphones! Since I am a vocalist, I can be a bit snobby when it comes to sound and these really exceeded my expectations. Finally it is a joy to listen to my music with headphones! The only caution I have for people considering this purchase is to know who you are buying from. A friend of mine claimed to have purchased this same pair on Ebay and realized later they were fakes and not near the quality of mine. If you aren't paying around $100 for these, then there is a very big chance that they are not really Bang & Olufsen. Although B&O is really proud of their headphones, the quality of the product proves once again that you get what you pay for!! Best Earphones Ever5 These earphones fit so securely and so comfortably. That fact alone makes them the best earphones for day to day life. When I run the earphones never come off UNLIKE EVERY OTHER SET OF EARPHONES. On top of that, the sound is incredible! Bang and Olufsen sound quality in a tiny package. They are pricey, but with a three year warranty and the best fit and the best sound, these are the best of the best! Beware of fakes5 I feel sorry for those who buy this on eBay. eBay is full of fake earphones. I can buy fake versions of these or Shure or Senn CX300 earphones direct from China but they don't sound the same. For that reason, if someone reviews a set they bought on eBay, I'd say that they didn't get the real thing.
