I'm sure that i've seen these advertised in GQ mag for a while. Just goes to show that companies CAN still produce products in Europe! That also means that the workers are given a decent wage, decent hours of work, decent working conditions, the choice to be represented by a union and EU law and generally treat like a living thing rather than a product!!! B&O PLEASE TAKE NOTE!!!
I own a pair of these in the classic color and can give you some insights / impressions:
Bulid quality: The build quality is superb, there is nothing in my opinion that can be done any better, really high quality and a very solid feel.The leather is top notch and supersoft, the metal/aluminium parts match the B&O standard of production - absolutely flawless.
Sound quality: After a proper breaking in phase the headphones sound as good as a pair of closed headphones can sound, very detailed, rich bass etc. I still prefer my Grado HF2 over these headsets but these have a open construction, so the environment around you can hear what you hear which might not be suitable for all occasions.
Price: Worth every Euro you spend on them, they even come in a nice package with several cables and a bag and so on...
The only downside there is, they hurt a little bit in the beginning as the metal headbad is supertight, they even ship a small instruction card how to correctly bend them to fit your head better.
Give them a try if you want a pair of headphones that are not seen around that often.
