Do it. The gold ones are cool.

For what effect it does I found the ANC thing quite annoying on the lead too!

So I bought some - but the 'Ocean Blue Bundle' with Hard Graft - comes with a wool bag that sounded like a lovely thing to have :-) £130 as well so not too shabby! If anyone wants to see I can take pictures as I'm unboxing and eating some smoked salmon!

Nice!

My brown Hard Graft bag for my H8 arrives Monday. I'm really impressed with their fast shipping.

Here are some pictures. Embarrassingly they almost made me miss my flight as I'd been looking at the wrong one on the board and thought I had loads of time as it was delayed by an hour. It wasn't! As I was testing the H3s I got a call to my phone asking if I was on my way to the gate. I had to run and leave an massive blini covered in smoke salmon and caviar! So relish these photos know they preceded that experience by mere minutes...

Hard Graft often does some rather innovative things with function and design. Take a look here:

A8s or their equivalent I believe. I saw it months ago and thought the original B&O pouch was better.

Cheers @beojeff - as I suspected it's just for the headphone buds to go in. Bit weird as the microphone/buttons are still exposed (and that's what broke on my H3ANC and the pyramid bag is quite an awkward shape to put in a thin bag. Nice leather & wool combo though!

Thanks, Michael. I was just at LV yesterday and got a small bag in Damier Ebene just big enough for a MacBook or for BeoPlay speakers or headphones with room for a book or magazines. There's even a pocket for an iPad mini.

That leather must feel amazing! I'm imagining what the new ocean blue A2 might look like against that deep navy leather. It might have just enough subtle contrast to look beautiful together.

I'm in Japan, but will travel to UK and Spain in Aug. I love my new moss green A1 but I am on the fence about taking it due to the weight. It's not heavy really but I am considering my journey back to Japan laden with sauce bottles and a multitude of other condiments. Wondering if the iPhone speaker will do :( I will be taking my Earset 3i which have a smooth sound and responsive in-line controller. As for a case for the A1, I don't really mind, I have umpteen pouches from this and that that will suffice. B&O supplied a case with the earphones but I find it a pain on the commute, they usually end up in my shirt pocket.

It's that beautiful thick cow hide and it has such an exquisite hand

I bought a pair of deer skin loafers in cherry red and the most amazing deer skin over night bag in a huge size. I take it out of its dust cover just to run my hands over how amazing it feels

Since we're admitting... I sometimes like to feel the grill of my Beolab 2000. I also like the cold sensation of pressing the back of the Beo 4 to my forehead. Does this make us freaks?

Fantastic. We need a new "What are you feeling now?" thread. Moderators beware.

Google translates the text on the bag to 'more than favorable/affordable'.

Nice one ;-))

Excellent. Please do tell us about how you used your A1. Hotel room? Beach?

I used it only in our hotels rooms and once or twice as a speakerphone. I have to tell that I'm still very impressed by it. I used it for 1-2 hours / day for 5 days, at low-medium level (40% in the level gauge of the iPhone 6+) , in order not to disturb the other clients, and I didn't have to charge it even once and I still have something like 30-40% of battery.
