Product Description
With conventional earphones much of the sound never makes it into the ear. To stop this kind of leakage, we have developed earphones that can be adjusted to fit the contours and curves of the individual ear. The speaker unit itself can be moved up or down or side to side until the most comfortable and effective position is found. This ensures that they sit comfortably and firmly regardless of whether youOre jogging or just relaxing.

 Finally! A pair of earphones that stay put and sound wonderful! July 30, 2007
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
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 Ever July 29, 2007

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!

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.

I find buying headphones especially before trying them out a pain in the neck! First off, I have and ipod w/the normal ear phones and they are ok. Easy to put in your ear, decent sound, but I thought there has to be something better. So I bought the Sure EC2's. They are a pain to get into your ear that is why I don't normally wear them, you can't hear anything that is going on around BUT the sound is incredible and the design seems indestructible. Now I see these, the A8's. I bought them on ebay, cheaper. They seem nice but there is not enough ways to adjust them, they say there is but really I needed another one to get it in my ear properly. The sound is good but nothing I was shocked by. I had to turn the eq to trebble booster to make them sound better and to me I shouldn't have had to do that. They do seem comfortable though, more so than the other two ear phones, so I hope in future use that will make up the difference. Another thing, they aren't loud, even with the eq on loudness so watch out. They really have a nice look to them too. All in all these ear phones are ok but for $160. they should awesome. If your not used to good sound you will like these.

Just a note to anyone buying a pair of A8's, there are many fake pairs of these headphones on Amazon being sold as geuines. Any pairs for under $100 should be avoided!!! Research your seller!
