Second that, fabolous!

(100 EUR less would have been a better price point though IMHO)

The touch gestures are a great idea, very cool.

Very nice. The brown one looks great. Price is OK IF they perform well. Look at BEATS PRO they are £350 and I know of a lot of kids 18-21 who have saved their pennies for these.

If the H8 plays nicely with the iPhone i.e. the volume is loud enough, they could be on to a winner. I think they are very classy looking!

If they get the advertising etc done well, they'll sell masses of these. I even like the brown!

Every business class passenger on the planet should be sporting a pair of these. Brilliant

This is one of those products that makes me think.. why hasn't this been invented already?! (Apologies if there are already other companies with gesture based headphones out there, and I'm completely wrong.)

This seems extremely well executed, and I'll certainly want to try them out! Kudos B&O!

Yes I can see Emirates/Qatar offering these in business class! Someone at B&O needs to get these in the class airlines out there - what a marketing opportunity AND works both ways - it would be very good for the airlines too!

If I can use a usb bluetooth aptX adapter for my bm5 and a jack adapter for my bv7, no doubt I will buy one in brown.
