  • The ear-hook-things of the B&O EarSet 3i swing up and down to acommodate ears large and small.

  • The EarSet 3i is Bang & Olufsen's latest set of earphones, and it's aimed at the iCrowd. The inline microphone, volume control and multifunction button works with [[artnid:355503|iPhones]], [[artnid:381655|iPads]] and other Apple devices like the [[artnid:378122|MacBook Pro]]. We got hold of some — check them out.

    The Bang & Olusen EarSet 3i earphones come in a solid plastic case with everything packed securely inside.

  • The Bang & Olufsen EarSet 3i earphones come with plenty of soft ear-pads, a clip to secure the earphone cable to your shirt or jacket, and a leather carry-case with a Velcro clasp.
