Expert review by : Libby Plummer (pocket-lint.com)
This week, Pocket-lint is gearing up for the ski season with plenty of gadgets to keep you kitted out on the slopes. If you're a skier or boarder and you can't bear to be parted from your tunes, then you'll be needing some earphones that don't fall out...
Good audio, slick design, adjustable, lightweight
High price
The B&O A8 earphones are designed to be robust and flexible and that's certainly the case, thanks to the solid build quality and various adjustable elements. While the earphones are not necessarily designed for sport, they are fairly secure, making...

The Danish design heroes have turned their deft hands to in-ear headphones. But are they pretty on the inside?
Brilliant sound, great looks and a premium marque – but what’s really amazing is the reasonable price
Expert review by : Joe Minihane (electricpig.co.uk)
B&O has given its excellent A8 headphones a colourful makeover, but do they still sound up to scratch? And how do they compare to the excellent Creative Aurvana Air? Read our full Bang&Olufsen A8 review now and we'll tell you whether they're worth a punt.
Great sound, great looks and excellent value
Bass could be better
A stunning pair of headphones worth every penny

Aluminium earphones offering 50 to 200,000Hz frequency response. Includes in-flight adaptor, extension cord and additional earpads. Weighs 22g. The good You probably can't afford a full B&O home hi-fi or you'd have someone to look at websites like this...
Sonically irreproachable, stylistically stunning and surprisingly affordable, the A8’s are best thing to come out of Denmark since bacon-flavoured Vikings. Bang & Olufsen A8 is tagged with Bang & Olufsen A8 and headphones. Select a tag (Bang & Olufsen...
Expert review by : Ty Pendlebury (cnet.com.au)
The original and still the best, the Bang & Olufsen A8 Earphones sound good and look great, but if you're looking for an exciting result these aren't for you.
Uncharacteristically inexpensive ; Balanced sound ; Premium build and looks
Uncomfortable fit ; Not suited to bass fiends
The real clincher for music fans is the price: they're AU$70 cheaper than the Creative set. If out-and-out detail isn't your main goal, and you're looking for a smooth-sounding headphone that's not outrageously expensive then the Bang & Olufsen A8 is a...
Expert review by : Dave Rees (the-gadgeteer.com)
When my wife drags me to the mall, I take the opportunity to visit our Apple Store. While the Gadgeteer Kid ‘tests' the floor iMacs, I look around for review-worthy technology to potentially play with. During these times, I have fondled the Bang &...
Very well made ; Excellent build materials ; Engineered for the active user ; Three way adjust-ability ; Great sounding/well balanced listening experience
Somewhat expensive
Expert review by : Roman Loyola (macworld.com)
The Powerline Network Adapter may not be the most price-effective way to extend a home network, but in homes where there's a lot of Wi-Fi interference, or where there's a long distance between your router and a desired area for Internet access, power...
The next step is to go to the room where you want network access, and plug another Powerline into an available power outlet. (I plugged the Powerline into an outlet in a home office where my Wi-Fi signal doesn’t reach.) Connect an Ethernet cable...

Apple knows these earphones are better than what they offer - that's why they're for sale at Apple.com.
Known for its high-end electronics and finely tuned audio technology, Bang & Olufsen has brought its elite reputation to the A8 earphones. Crafted with individual comfort and unrivaled sound in mind, the A8 earphones carry the same minimalist aesthetic...
Consumer review (cnet.com.au)
Excelent sound quality. Linear, crisp and detailed. the only weak point is in deeper frequencies like below 60Hz. This is probably why they said it sounded a bit "fizzy". But make sure to use good quality mp3 to extract the best of the A8(preferably...
Excellent built quality, sound and fit
price. lack of response in very low freq. (below 60Hz or so)
Consumer review (cnet.com.au)
The most comfortable earphones I have ever owned and with very good sound indeed.
Very comfortable, neutral sound, excellent build quality, price
Could do with a bit more b
