They are fake! Which products were they? There are a lot of fake A8 headphones produced.
There are lots of A8s around, that are made in china, but they are fake. What was it that you were "offered"?
looked like a 3200 and for 800 quid
I'm sure B&O don't produce in china, so I am quite sure that what was offered to you was no B&O
Is it difficult to see the difference between the fake and the real A8, or???
Yes, there is a comparitive photograph of the original article and the fake that was posted here previously. But I believe a BS 3200 was mentioned in this case.
Just a point in reference: I'm sitting on a Mies Van Der Rohe Barcelona Chair (made in China) typing this out this morning on a Logitech DiNovo Edge Bluetooth Keyboard (made in China) drinking Espresso out of a nice cup (made in China).. The Glass Noguchi Table next to me (made in China) has a Beo 4 resting on it, as my BS 3200 broadcasts the morning news. Other than the coffee from Brasil, I know the B&O items were made entirely in Europe, right ?
Perhaps, and perhaps not. They all work and I'm more than content.
Now on to the traffic and work.
no china as i sayed
The 3200 is made in Europe. Some devices do have components made in China - the socket case for the BC2 is I believe sourced from the Far East, but the head unit is made in Denmark. It has been noted that the BS4 has stickers on with Chinese writing on but on investigation, the actual product seems to be manufactured in Europe.
I would be fascinated to see a fake 3200 or one with made in China on it!
