Bang & Olufsen A8 Headphones - ANY ONE TRIED THESE ?

Just wondered if any one has tried these & can they give us some thoughts on them?

Im currently using the CX300's but these B & O's look fantastic

Thanks in advance

Re: Bang & Olufsen A8 Headphones - ANY ONE TRIED THESE ?

I have had a pair for a couple of years now. They sound really good, but if you wear glasses (like i do for work) the over ear support thingy gets in the way, and your glasses don't sit straight. They can be a pain to get to sit right in the ear too.

I also get some funny looks while wearing them, but that may just be me

If you're thinking about the B&O A8 then I suggest you take a look at the Audio-Technica ATH-EC7/700/700ti.

I've seen a few reviews where the ATs have come out better, but what would you rather go for; Looks or SQ?
