Headphone Reviews

Bowers & Wilkins is a brand that's synonymous with (very) high-end hi-fi equipment. For a few years now, B&W has been expanding into new product markets with devices like the Zeppelin iPod speaker or the Panorama sound bar, both still offering high-quality sound. Let's hope the same will be true of the P5 headphones. When you first unwrap them, the P5 headphones don't seem quite so portable. They come in a big, heavy box that looks like something straight out of a hi-fi headphones catalogue. Plus, with their luxury build and finish and their not-so-foldable design, we had serious doubts about whether the P5 headphones would really be suitable for use on the move. They're even a bit on the heavy side (although not too much to be truly problematic). However, it soon became clear that B&W had simply designed these headphones with luxury in mind. The P5 headphones are incredibly comfortable and you can wear them for hours on end ... so long as it's not too hot, that is. As the earpads are covered in leather, they could soon become your worst enemy on the stickier days of the summer. The headband is spot on though, with a fit that isn't too tight or too slack.

Bowers & Wilkins P5 Mobile Hi-Fi Headphones

Ultra-high-end audio purveyor Bowers & Wilkins began designing consumer-level products a few years back, with its Zeppelin iPod dock ($599 list, ). Now, B&W is trying its hand at headphones. At $299.95 (list), the P5 Mobile Hi-Fi Headphones aren't cheap, but like the best pairs from Grado and Sennheiser, the stunningly designed P5 is worth every penny, offering an audiophile experience and long-lasting comfort. At first glance, the supra-aural (on-ear) P5 vaguely resembles the Bose QuietComfort 3 ($299.95, ) noise-canceling headphones. But the details of the P5's design are more exquisite; the square ear pads and headband are genuine sheep leather, for example. The look nods to retro designs like Grado's SR60 ($79 list, ) but incorporates a decidedly modern feel. There's no other way to say it: the P5 looks stunning. It's also extremely comfortable, with its 6.9-ounce weight spread out evenly across the cushioned surface. The super-thin black cable integrates iPhone/iPod controls. If you don't want the controls, that portion of the cable is easily removable and can be replaced with the plain old cable that comes bundled with the headphones.
