B&O is just another Bose.

Overpriced and you could get better.

Audio-Technica ATH-CM5s (http://www.warehouse123.com/ProductInfo.php?pid=AUTATHCM5-ORG) are Bang and Olufsen (A8) style stick earphones. The sound quality is excellent, tight and solid. The design is good, fit and tight. I'm no audiophile but get these you'll not be disappointed for the price.

technically, B&O home stereo system is just blowing my mind. but their portable only one earbud is not good as Shure does. well, sound is not really deeper, and even not produced isolating sound so that I can void ambient noise.

only I am so negative about B&O product.

The Audio technicas are much much better if you are looking for earbuds.

I don't know how anyone can say they are ugly.

They are an amazing fit, sound fantastic... B&O is better than Bose.

I don't disagree they are expensive.

What the heck is going on with this forum, there are 3 different threads about B&O. I miss the days when real audio people were here, like Kauffe, Mina, Doug, now it's just people comparing there headphones to stock earphones. Well duh, anything is better than apple stock earphones!

Lol, true. But they're still here. :rolleyes:

Yeah I still read this forum a lot but there haven't been many threads for me to comment on. I almost wish there was a dedicated EX51/71/81 forum. It seems like 1 out of every 3 threads are Sony bud threads. That's what the forum is here for, I guess, but when an inexperienced user comes to this forum looking for new phones, they're going to see all of these threads talking about how amazing the EX71 is. You obviously don't need to display any audio knowledge to post a "My new EX71s sound incredible!!!!" thread. It would be hard for new users to separate the signals from the noise. Oh well.

Just a reminder...this thread is for B&O replies/comments only. If u want to comment on any Sony earphones, then go to that Sony thread. Thanks.

PS. I have been using my B&O for 2 yrs now. And I believe that Newbies and "oldbies" have the right to post in any of these forums. Not all of us are audio pros---like some ppl here claim. Might as well start ur own "For AUDIO PROS ONLY" thread.

Have no stake in this one, but it does look like you invited the Sony comments.

I agree with all that. I love mine. Yes, expensive. But I said, "What the heck!?!" and bought them.

These B&O's were used in "The Minority Report" movie. I doubt Hollywood would have used them in a thriller if they were "ugly."

Not everyone bases their opinion by what Hollywood puts in movies. -_-

Why, is that something you do? I wouldn't recommend it.

I never said anything about basing my decision to buy the B&O's on that. I merely mentioned that it was used in a high-tech movie as an earpiece device in order to show that it wasn't ugly. Yes, spy movies/thrillers love technology. They use the best. THAT is my point.

Bang and Olufson? The best?

Get real. You are just another sheep.

Just because they were in a "spy movie/thriller" does not give them credit.

Can't you people read?? I never said they were good because of the movie that features them.

I am not a sheep by any means, as I bought the 1st Gen. iPod and currently own a 2nd Gen. iPod -- I was into it before most people on here even knew what an iPod was.
