Why Bang & Olufsen?

To be honest, I'm a bit of a nerd for sound quality. I have a love for clean, timeless design and I feel that Bang & Olufsen really encompasses that as a brand! Their products are created with both design and sound quality at heart.

Pick your top Bang & Olufsen product:

For sure the Beoplay E8 Sport Wireless In Ear Earphones.

What do you use these for?

Honestly; everything!

For work, on walks, runs, travel and at home. I'll probably have these glued to my ears, you can ask my girlfriend, I love listening to my music.

Who's on repeat?

I've found it comforting revisiting a lot of the albums that I used to listen to in the past. It's like coming back with a fresh pair of ears and made me appreciate the music even more than I did back then.

I've mostly been listening to a lot of Electronica recently, stuff like Bonobo, Maribou State and Moderat y'know? But I'll occasionally mix it up with some Hip Hop or Metal just to keep things interesting!
