Sorry, Typo, AMADANA PE-117 Bamboo Hybrid Earphones...I Heard they were a modification to B&O's A8.....Any good?

Well I don't know anything about them but it looks like they just stuck a piece of bamboo in the B&Os and probably charge twice as much. I've never heard any praise for the B&Os but I haven't heard anything slamming them. It's probably like most B&O stuff, not bad but you're paying for the design and the name, not the performance. Kind of similar to Bose.

I did find this picture on their website amusing.

Hmm yeah i visited their site. Maybe Slapstick Japanese attempt at Levity...lol. Anyway, I found these for sale at Ebay Australia for $70 Inc Shipping and handling...i jumped in and bought it. Hopefully its the authentic item...Also there are Audio Technica's ATH-EC700's on sale for cheap on ebay... i think theyr'e excellent..
