It seems perhaps they made slight modifications to the quality also since they say it has an improved comfort design. But I think it is the same as the released Form 2 that launched first under the Beoplay name. 
 
"Form 2i features in-line microphone, 3-button remote and an improved comfort design - and when you combine that with the low weight and sleek ergonomics of the headphones you get a piece of audio equipment you can use comfortably for extended periods of time. "

I don't really like the new colors much, I thought the yellow and orange and red were pretty cool, but obviously they must think the new colors will sell better. Then again, I'm not much of a color junkie as I picked black for mine.

Me neither. I bought a black pair about 9 years ago. Thought they were incredibly cool, and the cable felt of a superior quality. No naff packaging either.

Time for a new design though I think. All of my friends who I show the Form 2's to think they are something I bought in the 80's, and laugh.

They've been making them for what, 28 years? But then again, they are in the MoMA permanent collection, so it's hard to argue with that.

In the US, color is what matters to young people, and this is a young person's headphone.  At that price point, there is no need for Black and Gray. Fluorescent is where it's at. See Nike, Under Armour, Adidas, etc.  

What I don't get is the microphone.  Unless you can voice text with Siri (or it's android ilk), kids don't seem to talk on the phone.  I try not to.

Nice idea to convert the Form 2 for iPhone. I like the fresh light blue !  Yes - thumbs up

it would have been nice for them to reinvent the Form 2 as it's at a good price point.

heard an interesting story that Steve Jobs visited Sony to ask them if Viao could operate iOS but they turned them down due to their ties with Microsoft, now that would of shaken up the industry and making iPod/iPhone specifics.

we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.
