Get closer to your favorite music wherever you are with P5, the noise-isolating headphones from the makers of the Zeppelin iPod speaker. Drawing on 45 years of Bowers & Wilkins hi-fi innovation and expertise, P5 brings you remarkably natural and highly detailed sound on the move, and a luxuriously comfortable fit that makes longer listening sessions a pleasure. The P5 is definitely a looker. The P5 is a handsome luxury design, on par with B&W's high-end speakers. Comfort? The P5's thickly padded leather headband and ear pads are soft and comfy. That's great, but the full leather-to-ears contact may promote perspiration. My ears didn't sweat, but they sure felt hot when I wore the P5s for extended periods. The upside to the close contact design is that it blocks a fair amount of external noise. Not as effectively as noise-canceling headphones, but the P5 doesn't need batteries. The sound is easy on the ears; it's warm, rich and yet clears. I noticed that moving the earpads' position relative to my ears changed the sound somewhat. Clarity improved when I had them a bit higher than where I started. I advise P5 owners to play around with how the earpads sit on your ears.
Product Features
• Metal and sealed-leather construction
• Cable with Remote and microphone
• Audio cable with gold-plated 3.5mm plug
These are amazing headphones. Everything about them is high quality. They feel like a well worn hat with soft covers over your ears. The sound is incredible, with outstanding imaging. The negative, they are expensive. Overall these are outstanding headphones. They are super high quality. I expect they will last a very long time. The sound is wonderful, the comfort high, the materials sensuous, and they are unique. B&W’s minimalist design approach renders the P5’s excellent travel partners. Where most sound-isolating phones come in oversized, hard shell cases, the P5’s pads fold flat for storage and the phones fit inside a black, quilted clutch yeah, it’s just a bit effeminate but the whole package is just 1.5 inches thick and weighs less than eight ounces.
