"With the continued rise of music mobile phones, a product such as
EarSet 3 is quite a revolutionary idea," states Zean Nielsen, President of
Bang & Olufsen America. "This product will definitely appeal to the
tech-savvy consumer who is always on the move and appreciates high quality
sound performance."
Unsurpassed design and sound performance
EarSet 3 follows Bang & Olufsen's core competence of acoustical
excellence, allowing the musical details to be fully audible. The sound
quality is greatly affected by the placement of the ear bud in the ear.
Based on the form of the highly acclaimed A8 Earphones, EarSet 3 has been
specially developed to closely match the contours and curves of each ear,
ensuring that no sound escapes. The ear buds include foam rubber covers for
more comfortable wear, and to compensate for the leak that might occur if
the ear is bigger than the ear bud. At any level of activity, EarSet 3
stays firmly and comfortably in place, ensuring the optimal sound
experience.
The dynamic full tone loudspeakers mounted on a telescopic bar are
constructed according to the open loudspeaker principle that allows some
environmental noise to pass through, so as not to entirely cut one off from
the surrounding world.
Quality materials
EarSet 3 is crafted from anodized aluminum and hard rubber, making it
flexible and very durable. These robust and scratch-free materials combine
quality and comfort with state-of-the-art design. EarSet 3 comes equipped
with a specially designed leather carrying case.
EarSet 3 will be available in all Bang & Olufsen showrooms by late
February 2008. MSRP $250.00.
