Hi, This is my first deal! I was searching for decent earbuds for my iphone when i found these.
http://www.most-digital.com/bang-olufsen-earphones-p-194.html
They are sold for more than 249$ on Amazon.com.

The reviews are also excellent on these earphones.
THe thing is, i have a lot of doubt about this deal. The price just seem TOO low. (considering the fact that they're isnt any sort of rebate on them... 69.99$ just look like the regular price for www.most-digital.com. What do you think???? fake?? i also did not found any review on this store.
yeah also, look like all their items are shipped from HONG-Kong... not a good sign isn't it?
neway if this deal is legite than it might be one of the best deal on earphone i've seen lately!!

No idea about the store, but my brother has those B&O headphones and they sound great.

I have heard about the store before but never bought anyth from them in the past. You are right in saying that the price seems to be too good.

These are fake, the imitation A8's come with a squarish case for the earphones. The real ones actually come with a different case. But it is worth noting some of the fakes come with the same style case as the real one. If it comes with a square case (like these) it is 100% fake though.
This auction is what the real ones would look like.

Be wary of this "deal"... counterfeit headphones are big business these days.

By looking at other items they are selling, i think the headphones are probably fake.

Too shady, not sure if this counts as "Hot Deals"

or maybe the picture that is posted on the website does not represent the actual product and is stolen from a random ebay auction? the price and the fake ipod shuffle make the deal suspicious, but then again, the placebo effect will make those headphones the best possible headphones ever

I went to the B&O store in Toronto a couple of months ago and they had a very cool LCD tv for $18,000, the cool thing was that it could pan and tilt with the remote control.... anyway, started talking to the salesman and it was a 780P, they still didn't have any 1080P, will come soon he said, it was 60Hz (for the price I would expect 120Hz), it did not have HDMI input, the contrast was like 3000:1 dynamic... I could not understand as I was expecting some out of this world specs so I asked him what should make me buy this TV over a $2,500 Sony Bravia which supass every one of those specs by far and after dicussing it for a while he finally said "Well, if you buy this one you will get a B&O"...
Seems to me like they are the Fahion of electronics, like an ugly "Luis Vuitton" bag their products are for people with a lot of money that just want to have something that not everyone can have and don't care if it's bad...

yep B&O used to be good, but now they outsource all their electronics.
but you gotta admit, they know how to design and they were the first with a lot of neat concepts.
oh and it's danish, anything danish design is super expensive
