What cans are good enough to compete with the B&O Form 2 Headphones? I was at an Apple store today listening to lossless songs on my iPod with them and they sounded better than my KSC-75's. But for $100 bucks, I dunno if they are worth it.

What cans compete with it up tp $125??

Yea I was at apple store today too, and found these to be quite good, but was discourage when I saw the price for these.
I would like to know its competitors too!

Those are $100?! They look really cheap like the PX100.

How do the PX100's stack up to these and the KSC's?

The A8 earbud outperforms all other earbuds I have heard, however, not to the point which justifies its price tag. I should expect, although I have not heard, the Form2 to be a similar piece of kit. Perhaps better than the PX100, KSC75 etc, but not to the point which justifies B&Os price on sonics alone.

But then, B&O is as much about design and status as the sound.

Wow they are ugly. I wouldn't pay more than $20 for something that looks like that.

Judge a headphones worth purely on its looks and youll miss out on almost all the best stuff laxx.

So guys, what say you?

I listened to them at the Apple store and thought they sounded alot like the KSC75. The K81DJ is much better sounding, IMO. I think they are cool looking BTW but they seemed built similar to a pair of KSC35s mounted on a fancy headband. The drivers are mounted in black plastic and covered with foam socks. Not very well built for the asking price. The A8 sounded good as long as I pushed them into my ears, I could not adjust them to where I wanted them. They are very nice looking.
