Holy Crap,

Just hooked these up, Some dude gave them to me for fixing his laptop ....

They are insanly efficient, Clarity is unbelievabled and the sheer volum is crazy,

Can't wait to rock with the saw with these bad boy's

Anyone ever heard of this brand before ?????

May take a look at some of these to team up with my RX-A1000

All I can say is WOW ....

Never heard of them but they are large and yet not very deep. They have any bass power?

Yea, but not crushing by any means. I have them teamed with the stock Logitech sub

By them selves I have to think they would be second to none for Jazz/Classical.

I have never heard anything with this type of clarity. You can hear the drum kit vibrating behind the music ......

I thought I knew about top and audio, ..... turns out I don't, on the back it says made in Denmark ...

B&O is a pretty mediocre company in Audio/Visual products.
They use to focus more on the looks rather than quality & functionality.

I guess you haven't heard anything better than these before ?

You need to listen to some B&W's, or Magnepans, or Martin Logan, or JMlab
Or something cheaper, yet pretty good, let's say some high end headphones.

Then you'll forget all about the B&O's in less than a sec

I've got some awesome 5.1 headphones that plug into the optical out of the mobo or sound card. Can't remember the name, but next time I go upstairs I'll check and then update this post :

Get rid of them immediately.
Get a Sennheiser HD558 headphone and listen to your music & games like you should.

BTW the title's wrong, Bang & Olufsen it is :p
