I think they look cheap & tacky but probably a good marketing ploy. The young 'uns will like them, and as stated earlier not a bad & inexpensive way as an introduction to B&O (whether they will appreciate them is another matter). Lets see how the fakers get on with copying them eh?

I have rather mixed feelings about these specific yellow earphones. Look awful for me. Only good for children :D

I do not like the colour one... but maybe people will like to match the color of their mp3 player...

The rumor I heard is that the new colors match the new iPod Nano colors.

I think they will match the iPods perfectly, even better than now. But I have a black iPod... 🤔

By the way, the new flagship Apple Store in Melbourne (chadstone shopping mall) is now retailing B&O A8s and B&O Form 2 Headphones AT $50 LESS THAN THE B&O STORES !!!

This is awful.  When I first saw the picture without clicking to the link, I thought this is a fake product found on ebay or somewhere.  The yellow color just doesn't match with the aluminum frame.  It looks like a toy rather than a serious headphone.  In addition, this is very sad if B&O is really making their A8 earphones in iPod Nano colors.  I thought B&O will lose their identity and is willing to become one of the iPod accessories manufacturers.
