Earset 3i possible to fix?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 21, 2015 11:30I had the same problem with mine. They broke 3 or 4 times during 2 years in the exact same place. The cord design is idiotic. Even my white apple earbuds last more than twice as long! I complained and with the help of Al…
Your current 2015 Hits and Flops.
in General Discussion & Questions · May 17, 2015 22:05Best product: Beolab 18 and 19. Worst product (that I have used): EarSet 3i. They broke 3 times within 2 years. The earphones themselves are good but the cable is of the same build quality as free inflight earphones. B&O…

Beolab 8000 & iTunes. What's the best option?
in Other · Feb 7, 2014 13:43Hello, I was in the exact same situation as you are. I first tried to connect my BL8000 directly to my macs (iMac or a Powerbook) and noticed that there sometimes was a humming noise coming from the speakers and this was…
If B&O didn't exist....
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 29, 2013 22:32I would probably buy speakers from B&W, amplifier and DAC from Mcintosh, and I currently do not own a TV but if someone produces a no nonsense 4K TV which I can connect to my Mac and it is at least 55", looks good and co…

Controlling the volume on a Mac connected to Beolabs through external DAC
