Hi all

 I bought a pair of A8 earphones a few weeks ago.  I was quite happy with them, and then the little screws that bolts the round bit that goes behind your ear to the straight bit that's in front of your ear fell out on BOTH of them.

I've got the screws but both little nuts (I'm assuming) that's meant to hold the screw in place are gone.

 Any thoughts on where I can buy those?  And .. anyone else had the same problem?

 Thanks

Bennie

There aren't any nuts of any sort - the other side of the frame that holds the earbud is threaded to accept the screw and so there is nothing to fall off.

Did you buy these from a B&O store or from ebay - if the latter I'm slightly concerned these may be copies rather than the genuine article.

They are certainly a fake, and this has NOTHING to do with B&O, i
think what you have said peacha is wrong.

Ive had my A8s for many years now and i cant say i have treated them well, but they are still in the exact same condition as when i got them. Superb quality. A8s are one of the few B&O pruducts that are really worth what they cost. Acctually they are even cheap for the soundquality and craftmansship.. i love then 😁
