I admittedly have not kept up with B&O as a company. I thought they were out of business. I have one of their turntables which I received as a Christmas gift back in the late 80's from the local Tweeter, Etc. store (now long gone). I still use the turntable and for the past 10 years or so, hook it up to my computer to record vinyl to digital using Creative Labs software which is pretty good actually. The needle wore out around 2008 and it cost me more to get a new one custom made than the original turntable cost back in the 80's. Their headphones are unknown to me so I can't comment on that. I'm just surprised to see they still are in business.

I remember B&O's turntables from back in the day. A friend had one which stood out as an odd design. The tonearm would move laterally instead of on a fulcrum like conventional designs. He traded it in for a Linn turntable which he felt was superior. B&O seem more oriented towards flashy life-style products than serious audiophile appeal.

I have a pair of h9i ? Which have great noise canceling, comfort, and sound quality but also have double the lag of my other Bluetooth headphones. Which is fine for everything but TV. No idea if newer versions have fixed it. also I don’t like the touch controls but most everyone has them.
