Thanks DMC, it's no problem at all. Also I'm supposed to be working here (no hols) so any excuse for retail therapy is most welcome! Enjoy the headphones.

Well I'm very surprised at the B&O A8's (as I tried them before.)..really light..hardly know you have them on...not like the Bose Neutral ...yes if I got them in a shop...no I would not go for the B&O..but for £34 inc p&p on ebay (NEW)...I can not complain Very Happy ...they might not have great Bass..but neither does the Bose Shocked .....only the Shure could have the protental to blow me away...but for £250 I think I'll save my money Laughing
As for me needing noise cancelling..well I'll have too look like a DJ and wear my big Sennheisers PXC 450's Laughing ...but both the Bose and B&O work well on trains.

Rated again Cerbera respect

How can you know if it's a fake or not?...

EDIT: I will rephrase this. I am not implying that yours are. I am curious as I went looking as I am interested in ones and the fake market is a possibility in these things... though eBay was forced to pay £30m for it...

Glad you like 'em DMC - I'd be very surprised if they were fake (unlike handbags, they are rather more difficult to knock-off in a shed somewhere in the Third World).

You did get a very good price on e-bay, but you can also get them on BA long-haul flights duty free for £79. E-Bay just requires common sense: if a £15k watch is offered "new" for a fiver, then one detects the whiff of a large rodent. Don't think the A8s fall into that category though...
