Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Earphones - Adjustable for Better Sound

Bang & Olufsen Earphones are designed to fit the individual ear and deliver unsurpassed sound quality. With conventional earphones much of the sound never makes it into the ear. These earphones are specially developed to closely match the contours and curves of the ear – so you hear the sounds that would otherwise slip away.

Secure earhooks keep the earphones in place (shown here in black)

The Art of Relaxing

With conventional earphones much of the sound never makes it into the ear. To stop this kind of leakage, we have developed earphones that can be adjusted to fit the contours and curves of the individual ear. The speaker unit itself can be moved up or down or side to side until the most comfortable and effective position is found. This ensures that they sit comfortably and firmly regardless of whether you're jogging or just relaxing.

Outstanding Acoustics and Ergonomics

Each element can be maneuvered up or down and side-to-side to ensure the perfect fit. In fact, Bang & Olufsen Earphones are adjustable in so many ways, and are so comfortable to use, you might end up wondering whether you are actually wearing them or not. Inside, they contain many of the same acoustic competences found in our larger loudspeakers, just miniaturized.

Adjustable earphones for a comfortable, discreet fit

High-Tech Jewelry

The earphones are crafted from anodized aluminum and hard rubber giving them both flexibility and robust durability. They come with their own specially designed leather carrying case as the perfect portable music partners for a leather-clad BeoSound 2.

Earphones In-flight Adaptor

Don't leave the great sound from your Earphones behind when you fly. Add a Bang & Olufsen dimension to in-flight music and films with this practical accessory. The in-flight adaptor allows you to plug our great sounding, compact Earphones into the double mono sockets found on most airliners.

Beauty, Power, Quality

Bang & Olufsen's reputation is based on development of their unique technologies, beautiful design, creative solutions, outstanding quality and a never failing will to pursue perfection and make the impossible possible. Let the beauty of Bang & Olufsen’s products seduce you, but also do yourself the favor of going beyond the looks and let yourself be amazed, surprised and impressed by the outstanding technologies on which the Bang & Olufsen products are based.

My husband is new to running and the standard iPod earbuds don't stay well while running. He's tried Yurbuds and Sony athletic earbuds, but neither provided the sound quality and ability to stay in place.

The Bang & Olufsen earbuds cover both needs. My husband has indicated the sound quality is exceptional and they stay put while moving. In addition, they do come in a variety of colors so he got a set in his favorite color.

Really good earphones,

sound quality
design
easy to use
comfortable

But the only thing is they are not really durable. After using for 4 months the right side stopped working. Moreover, the head of the connection kind of came out, after this happened I decided to buy Dr.Dre Beats Pro which I believe is better even though one is a headphone and the other one is an earphone.
