  Good price - I'm a fan of B&O as well however have avoided these. Have a look at some of the Shure range.

  These seem to be the first edition of the product which I had. There was constant drop outs when connected to my phone. When I contacted B&O their response was for me to put the phone in the front pocket of my shirt. Unbelievable.
  They sounded outstanding but unless my phone was sitting on my desk in front of me they were no usable.

    they work fine for me in my right pocket (but not the left) - I think because of the nature of the relay between the earbuds.

        If these are first gen E8, they are also micro USB.

    Charge fully before use and update! Problematic and not a good example of what the brand stands for.

  These look like version 1 using Bluetooth 4.2. These are currently up to version 3 I believe. In this price range I would go for the Jabra or Samsung.

    Nothing wrong at all with bt4.x

      Bluetooth version more denotes how old the product is rather than being a problem. Check the reviews, these are pretty old tech and short battery life. You do get a nice leather case though…

        Could be a year or 2 old at least. Many products were released last year with 4.2 ;-)

          @onlinepred: At least 4-5 years old….

            @berger: Yes, when you look at the actual product release date, and not the Bluetooth version.

              @onlinepred: Not sure how these can be a recent Bluetooth, they are old and haven’t been made in years…. also This seller had no local warranty support from B&O. Handling themselves

                I was replying to that. I know these are old, just staying you can't tell how old a product is solely based on Bluetooth version.

  These are shit earbuds. I have a store selling B&O and haven’t sold these in years. Old and crap. Always returns coming in… just days for something better!
