Also available in Red, White and Yellow. As Orange is the most popular colour on this forum I thought it should be shown.

Hi,

Thanks for the info!

Why the hell B&O has chosen such a BIG logo???

Imo it's too much bling-bling 🙁

Hope it's just a proto, not the final version...

Cheers,

Horrible..

By all means brand them, but with that particular logo at that particular size they look more at home in a specialist childrens toy store.

Personally, I'd have favoured the text logo for these.

Modenisation is right. Applying it to an out of date or ageing product smacks of just desperate remarketing. I was not impressed with the Form 2's at all.

Retro and cool, oozing quality. Anyone spot the difference.

You could also spot the difference in price too!

These are cheap headphones aimed at the budget end of the market.  Well, when I say budget, I mean budget B&O buyers!

I'd have kept the headband, but made the ear pads into closed ear.  The Form 2 is an 'out and about' headphone and 'on ear' pads let in so much ambient noise it can make them pretty rubbish to listen to.  You also get a lot of sound 'leakage' when you turn them up - which only serves to annoy the person sitting near or next to you.  First thing they look at in annoyance..  the big 'B&O' logo.

Maybe I'm thinking too much out of the box here and need to shut up and smile sweetly.

I like the big B&O logo on these, I really get the impression that these are being marketed towards the BEATS headphones market.

It's amazing how the young (18+) are buying these for their iPhones etc at £170 upwards. There's a market - I've lost count the amount of times that i've seen 'dudes' with the BEATS Studios at £270!  Most of our DJs use the Solo HD's at £170 (myself included - I love them!)  so yes, I can see who these B&Os are aimed at!!!

I am little worried though, as they don't look as though they sound very good? Has anybody bought these Forms over the years?

I did m8!

Imo these are very good compared to A8's and 3i's.

They go lower in the bass frequencies and the mid-high ranges seem perfect to me.

I use the Form2 at home when I can't "freely" listen to the music in my living-room (i.e when my wife is watching a cooking tv show and stuffs like this) and I feel them very light and cumfy!

About the 3i's I got them first to run, but as my ears aren't B&O adapted 😁 I use them when travelling. They are always in my suitcase.

Cheers,
