Do Bang and Olufsen Products Suck?

[SLCentral]

Always wanted to know. They look so damn sexy, and are extravagantly priced. Are they like Bose, or do they actually have quality stuff? I remember seeing my aunt's B&O TV a while back, and it looked fine to me, but I don't see the reason people pay so much. Any point?

I just bought B&O A8s, after much reading of reviews and such, and the sound is noticeably different. Plus, they are obscenely comfortable - I wore them for almost 5 hours in a car ride without any discomfort and great sound.

B and O are good stuff, sure the price is high, but you are actually getting good products. I'm speaking mostly on their audio products.

What the others said.

I'm not sure that the acoustic quality of their products is anything super-amazing, but at least when you buy them you get something visually stunning to look at.

I think generally speaking their gear is of good quality... but still overpriced, even with the exotic design factored in. However, if you have the money to blow, it will look cool.

In short - if you own Bose gear your idiot friends will be impressed. If you own B&O gear you will get laid.

If I had the money, i would blow it on B&O gear
