B&W Headphone Reviews

Reviews for this B&W headphone (12 expert reviews (rating 89 / 100) • 122 user reviews): "And, because P5 comes from the audio team at vaunted B&W, there are certain expectations as to what it will deliver for its $300 price tag...depending on the device you're using, you may or may not find that P5 actually meets them...Though B&W’s Zeppelin entered the iPod marketplace with the sort of bold, interesting design that polarized potential customers, the company’s three subsequent products—Zeppelin Mini, MM-1, and now P5—have all found ways to bring similar materials into more conventional but still eye-catching shapes...They make Bose’s QuietComforts seem like cheap toys from an aesthetic standpoint, though it should be noted that P5 offers no active noise-cancelling capabilities...But there’s more to P5 than just appearances, and that’s where this model begins to have some issues that will vary in importance from person to person...On balance, Bowers & Wilkins’ P5 is a good headset that some users may find great, depending on both their sonic preferences and the devices they’re pairing with the headphones..."
