    Not really. I don't think you can fault Rapha's marketing nouse

    Indeed. B&O have basically realeased a Rapha edition of a model of their headphones that already costs £330. It's no different from any other brand doing a collaboration edition.

    I saw this and thought is it really a collaboration in Rapha's best interests. Sure your taking two design Icons , but do you really want to associate Headphones and Cycling?

    Surely they would have been better working together to launch something new from B&O that worked on Bone Conductivity.

    There's no suggestion that you'll be wearing on-ear headphones on your ride. Where I do expect them to turn up is on the Team Sky bus or Wiggo's warm-up turbo etc In the same way that Rapha has teamed up with coffee machines, watches etc

    Yeah, I'm a big Rapha fanboi but even I had a smirk at them (part of me wants them though)
    We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

    Ha, V68 - maybe Rapha, realising you weren't going to be there, halved the amount of cake they were going to provide and over did it :wink::lol:
