I recently tried some e8 v3 headphones, and they arenโ€™t anywhere near as good as the somewhat cheaper EarPod pros. That goes for their new Sony counterpart who initially impressed.

Am I missing something?

A Spanish Formula 1 driver, regarded as one of the best of all times. Next season driving for Renault.

Thanks - seems that I am not missing anything.

However, if that helps selling some earphones and create some brand awareness (which one could doubt), I am fine with it.

Just not my world - neither the Alfonso thing nor the earbut thing.

Ricciardo is always smiling and positive, Alonso is always grumpy and complaining.

 

Hence a bad marketing choice of B&O? Or are they taking their advertising campaign with unhappy people to the next level. ๐Ÿ˜

 

We have to wait and see, there should be sufficient amount of fans out there who can be drawn into B&O and that is always a positive thing!

Just like a lot of Beoworlders and most of the dealers. He's perfect! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Iโ€™ve liked Alonso very much ever since he gave the middle finger to Ralf Schumacher whilst crashing at high speed. Surely thatโ€™s stylish enough for B&O.

Everybody is grympy when *** happens.

Maybe it's just the US_EN website version, but it says, "Only 66 pieces available from October 2020"?  At a USD $50 premium over the regular E8 Sport model, it barely seems worth it for B&O.  Yes, I get that his car is McLaren #66, and that CNC "personalization" of the E8 plastic covers makes it easy enough to switch logos.  And that it's a marketing exercise to attract new blood to the brand.  But still, 66 pieces?  Maybe they should do a Hitchhiker's Guide version (what would a Babelfish logo look like?) and market... 42 of them!?!

If they would make a The North Face or a Patagonia Special Edition, I might persuade my wife to buy a set.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
