Anyone using B&O A8's?

[oksk89]

hi, i would like to know if anyone here has b&o a8's or shure E2c's. thanks

[JazzyMac]

How many times is there going to be a thread on this???? Look it up!!!!!

[DavePod]

#1- there's a headphone/earphone forum
#2- i would say at least 3 or 4 DOZEN people here have the Shure E2c's
#3- search is your friend

[oksk89]

lol i already did ilke 3 times and i posted like 3 questions on the same matter and i didnt really find a good answer yet... so... sorry

[JazzyMac]

So maybe you need to do your own research instead of waiting for other people to tell you what to buy. Think about it: three times and no good answer???? Sheesh!!!!

[oksk89]

damn, talk about being nice? do u think im that ignorant to just ask 3 times in a row? i already researched all my stuff and i narrowed my choices down to the a8's and e2c's. i want to get some opinions

[iPod_enthusiast]

why bother looking at this thread if every1s gonna get so angry at this guy

[JazzyMac]

And again, if you ask the opinion THREE TIMES, what exactly are you expecting???? No one here can tell you how to spend your money (unless one of the users is your parent).

Kindness or Honesty....pick one.

Hmmmm, "I'm on a public forum and I'm being choosy about who talks to me"....right.

Again, you actually got some pretty helpful advice. SEARCH!!!

Just my 2.48 American cents....:D

I have both the Bang & Olufsens and the Shure E2s.

I got the B&O's when I first got my second generation 20GB iPod 2 years ago and I was never impressed with the sound. They look good, they fit nicely and never fall off but thats it. The sound was terrible.

Recently I sold my iPod and purchased the iPod mini. With that I decided to go ahead and get better earphones. After a lot of research I ended up with the E2s. They are great. the best sounding earphones i have ever owned. the sound comes out soo pure and crystal clear. Its really incredible and something you have to experience yourself to really understand. I havent even taken the B&Os out of there case since i got the E2s, not even to compare sound quality since its too obvious.

In conclusion, get the E2s.

does flamming people gives you pleasure?

[Joshdude]

You know what, Ms_Jewelle? You have this messed up attitude that you display to almost everyone to respond to. Every time I see one of your posts, they're like that. Why do you have to be such a snatch to people?

By the way oksk89, I've used the E2c's and I don't like them. They're uncomfortable and have low bass. I preferred the E3c's, but I didn't like those much either. I've never used the B&O's though. And don't worry about Ms_Jewelle; she's always like that.

[MuzakMan]

Yup. Get the E2's. I just got them, and they're great. Worth every penny.

Also, just to add, before I got mine, I searched the forums, and there are many threads that were very helpful in deciding to get them or not. There is also a great review on microphone solutions.com, so you should understand why people are jumping on you for asking this question.

Low bass compared to what? From all that I've read about the E2's, they have lots of bass...although it does tend to be a bit "muddy" compared to say the bass from the E5's.

Are you sure you had a proper seal? Without a good seal, the bass in any canalphone will be lacking.

[Joshdude]

Oh I know about canalphones and I know that I got a seal. Although it was tough because the plastic pads hurt a lot. I had to use the small foamies and i definitely got a good seal. I couldn't even hear a car drive by. But I prefer a deep, thumpy bass. The E2c's, like most high end headphones, give a "truer" more accurate bass. Of course, it's less thumpy, so I didn't like it.

Messed up? "Snatch"? Define that for me please...
While you're at it...check out my other posts (provide justification for name-calling)

Needless to say, I've actually been a lot nicer than A LOT of people on this forum...I definitely don't name call. But I can start...no problem.

"Snatch"...hmmmmmmm

[Joshdude]

Well besides calling you clueless now, I didn't call you any names. You were being a snatch, I didn't call you one. Don't twist my words please.
But every time I look at one of your replies it's like that. You're bashing someone or beating up on them for being worse than you in whatever aspect you deem appropriate at the moment. It's kind of messed up. All I was doing was sticking up for oksk89 because you didn't seem to realize that he had looked at posts and couldn't reach a conclusion. Besides, no one forced you to look at the thread. If you're so sick and tired of seeing that topic posted, maybe you should stop worrying about it. People will ask questions that have already been asked before. It happens. Deal with it.

Moderators, I want to let you know beforehand that I can get really (what's the word you used Joshdude? Snatchy?), yeah..."Snatchy" in a few.

Now Joshdude...this wouldn't happen to be about your question about the iTrip (you know Post #1200 about the subject)...where you proceded to call the users "A BUNCH OF LOSERS???" for not immediately answering your question?

Just asking. Again, keep the name calling--and any references to namecalling--to yourself...perhaps people won't act so "Snatchy"

And the beat (Just like the hits) goes on....

[JazzyMac]

And for the record, I wasn't beating up on anyone for being "worse than me" (????). He is the one who said he asked the question three times and did a search. Then he said no one gave him a good answer. So why ask again?

[Joshdude]

Your main point against me seems to be my use of a word you don't understand. That's an interesting stand to take, I must say.
As to my iTrip post, yes this has almost everything to do with that. You acted in a similarly "snatchy" way toward me. And if you had taken any time to notice at all, you would have seen the smiley after my "losers" phrase. Now what could I have meant by that? Maybe I was joking around? Must have been hard to tell. This was also after I realized that no one would answer because it was an old topic. So maybe you should relax a little around people that don't have your incredible amount of knowledge about everything. It might help you get through a day with a little less snatchiness.

Oh and if you have a problem, just PM me.

Closing this thread as it's deteriorating into nothing but name-calling.
