However, I believe most audiophiles will recommend you the ATH-CM7ti instead.Check these Head-Fi threads for the ATH-CM7ti review and the Bang & Olufsen A8 impressions and reviews.

realist77 Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) why is that?? I heard that more ppl prefer a8 to cm7ti in da' world..that's what i heard.. I'm so confused now..whom do i gotta believe? Edited May 10, 2005 by realist77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 I do not have either ear-buds, therefore can't comment on actual soundstage or built quality. To be fair, those impressions and reviews are subjective. So, it's really up to you to decide which ear-buds suit you best. Check out the links in the preceding post for impressions and reviews.

Silvadragon Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 (edited) B&O ear-phones range is really mediocre(50hz - 20,000Hz) so i would recommend the ATHs. B&O is not value for money!But make bloody nice speakers Edited May 11, 2005 by Silvadragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 The B&O reviews are pretty harsh. In that price range you could get Shure E3 or E3c (gray or white) earplug phones that seal out the outside world and are much more highly regarded.

Silvadragon Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Meh! get something else. Gets some grados or sennheisers, something more mainstream. But those ATHs are a bit over the top e.g. it has a frequency range of OMFG: its 10-45,000 Hz. like hu the hell has ears that listen beyong 20-22,000hz or 20-20,000hz (pls correct me on this one, i noe its one of the two figures)?MEH! i'm happy with my MDRE-888s cos they have a frequency range od 8-27,000 and have a resonable sized driver 16mm compared to the 15.5.I've never tried ATHs b4, but they look bloody expensive and sillyMEH! get whatever floats-ur-boat rich person.Note: 45,000hz is a bit over the top or should i say its WAY!!! over the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
