Bang & Olufsen launches the EarSet 3 today. It is a mobile accessory that presents a cell phone headset and mp3 player earphones in one convenient device.

Based on the form of the highly acclaimed A8 Earphones, EarSet 3 has been specially developed to closely match the contours and curves of each ear, ensuring that no sound escapes.  The ear buds include foam rubber covers for more comfortable wear, and to compensate for the leak that might occur if the ear is bigger than the ear bud. 

The dynamic full tone loudspeakers mounted on a telescopic bar are constructed according to the open loudspeaker principle that allows some environmental noise to pass through, so as not to entirely cut one off from the surrounding world.

EarSet 3 will be available in all Bang & Olufsen showrooms by late February 2008.  MSRP $250.00.
