Bang & Olufsen announces EarSet 3 stereo headset

The stylsh Danes at Bang & Olufsen have announced their EarSet 3, a "unique mobile accessory" that pairs music headphones and a phone headset in a single device (we didn't think those were all that unique -- in fact, they couldn't possibly be much more common -- but whatevs). The headphones are based on B&O's A8 model, a noise isolating set of buds fashioned from aluminum (scratch-free, so they allege) and hard rubber with a frequency range of 50Hz up to a full 20KHz. Look for them to come bundled with a leather carrying case in late February for $250.

Does the Alias, Jennifer Garner, looking girl come with it too? For, $250... I can go for that.

As a B&O user (and fan of their music systems), I have to say that this is overpriced B&S.

She just looks very uncomfortable. Like she's listening to a friend's band, not wanting to tell them the music is horrible.

Fantastic! I loved my A8's when I had them (had an accident and the wire bit the dust), these could be a good replacement. I can attest to the fact that the aluminum is scratch-free. I travel freqently and they never had one mark on them!

I didn't realize aluminum scratching was an issue which plagued earphones. Looks like they going to need to come up with a solution for tangled wires as well with the new model.
