new earset 5i

I like the update, was in fact waiting for that.

I would be surprised if the cable issue that the old earset had is not fixed. Just because its a thin cable doesn't mean it has to break.

When I first bought my A8 earphones, I was also very disappointed with the bass reproduction. 

Then I learnt to really insert them as far as I could, and also applied scotch tape to the vents, and I must say now I'm more than happy with the whole line.

I have A8 earset, Earset 1 Home and Earset 3 with my Serenata, and apart from the very fragile wires on the Earset 3 kit, I'm more than happy with their performance. Besides, bass is the easiest thing to adjust on portable audio products, if you want more boom. Try adjusting the midrange or treble, it's another story.

I bought a pair of professional stage earphones, costing twice as much as the B&O earphones, and had to bring them back after one hour: they sounded awful to me..🙁all bass and no treble. 

Anyway, these new earphones may also be part of the new range of products that B&O are planning to sell out of B1 stores, don't you think?

Hi Michael yes I have the inner ear iBeats (£79) and I have the white Solo HDs which are incredible. Yep, I do wear them outside however, I admit to being a fashion victim! They do sound absolutely amazing mind you, so do the iBeats LOADS of bass with a crystal clear treble! And quality 3.5mm jack and compatible with the iPhone!

I think the Apple stores used to sell the A8 and maybe even the EarSet 2 but I haven't seen those around in the store in a while.  I wonder if the 3i will make it in to join the BL4 and BS8 (US store)...

You're deaf, that's all I got to say...

I will defend my A8's to the grave. I've had a same pair for 6 years now and I never looked back.  I'm sure if you clean your ears and give them a listen, you'd understand what I'm talkin about.

I have a 8 or 10 year old pair of A8s, I defend them to death as well. The bass might not be that strong but the clarity is a beautiful thing.

Note that I have the Solo HDs as well, sound good but uncomfortable  (I have glasses) and talking in a phone conversation with them takes some getting used to since one somehow hears a funny echo .....

I was waiting for the updated phones from B&O and am happy they adopt the control talk thingy ....

Would these work with an HTC Incredible S as well?

I'm glad there are some others who like the A8s - I have three pairs and would never want to be without them!

I truly detest any earphones that have to be shoved into the ear as not only do I find them hideously uncomfortable, I find that they usually fall out unless I keep my head perfectly still. The A8s are comfortable and sound great - I admit it takes a few minutes to get them sat perfectly for optimum bass reproduction, but it's not exactly a hardship is it?
