Hi Guys!

One of those headphones may soon arrive at home (fingers crossed).
It should be in good shape and sold as working.Of course it will nead earpads restoration and there's plenty of threads about that on Beoword.

If you know me, you wont be surprised I'd like to re-edit "the goodies".So I woud like to know if any of you may have details on Papers, User guide and most of all packacing that use to come with the Form 1.

I believe two boxes were made: one rectangle with marble material printed on it and a little red triangle with the brand. Another one, parallepipedic with maybe a sleeve or something.

Just found some pictures not very clear and too little to see details.

If any of you could share, size, materials, or what the art looks like, I would be very pleased.And of course any user guide or whatever too.

Thanks to all.

So when I got my pair, this is how it was packaged...

There was a black rectangular foam block, on the inside, in between the hard headband and the leatherette piece. The entire headphones were in a white plastic styrofoam sleeve. A 1/4" phono adapter was attached onto the 3.5mm end. That was it. No manual, papers, art, or anything.

BTW, I had the one that came in a grey box that had a marble pattern. The box itself was only as big as needed for the headphones to fit.

Good Morning TEL,

Yes I saw the BW product page if this is what you're trying to point me to.
I've seen the artwork with the pink head on a blue background very similar to some user guides.
Thats whats made me wonder if there was some kind of booklet or whatever coming with the product.
Do you know where this art come from, tried to find it Hi-res but seems Beoworld has the only copy ! :-)
