What next? - dustbin subs for hatchbacks??
Ban boring signatures!
Puncher: What next? - dustbin subs for hatchbacks??
More to the point, the "young at heart" must refer to people who'd put a dustbin liner in the sub thinking it's for refuse disposal; the more mature folk.
BeoBoy68:Agree with Chris. 2x H2 = 1x H6

Is that what he said?!

Hi Chris,
I was listening to them in Harrods today. They're ok but they looked a bit ugly compared to the B&W and Sennheiser Momentum Mini's which are still my favourite. Sound was Ok.
Saw the Avant for the first time today along with the 85" and was left disappointed. To me, the plastic material around the screen and the aluminium looked very cheap compared to the BV11 which still looked outstanding. It only took me a second to see where the cost cutting had taken place with the Avant. I didn't think it was a pretty design which B&O should be. Sadly, I didn't like the flat sound of their bluetooth speaker thing - it was boring to listen to and univoving.
To me, it looks as though the David Lewis designs are taking a lot of beating! The BV11 looked in a different league compared to the Avant. Just my opinion.

Well i'm sure a motorised speaker isn't that cheap to produce - so i don't think it's actually cost cutting, it's just a perception about what materials you would prefer on a television. :-)
Good deal at Amazon on H2s: http://www.amazon.co.uk/PLAY-Bang-Olufsen-Detatchable-Smartphones/dp/B00OW2PJP8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448618191&sr=8-1&keywords=bang+olufsen
(It's a 'lightning deal' hence expires in a couple of hours)
I also prefer the sound of the H2s Chris. Much brighter. Whilst they do feel firm on your head at first, it does ease a little after a couple of minutes of wear as they adjust to your head size/shape. You are right that you could run in them but the fact they are fabric means they are not great for any activities that involve sweat! My H3s are better for the gym.
