For new comers into the headphone world, Bowers and Wilkins sure came to the table with a great range of cans. The P5 sit middle of the range, between the smaller P3, and over ear P5. These are 'on ear', relatively light weight, yet feel oh so solid in construction, a heady mix of real stainless and brushed steels complimented by black leather ear pads and plush head band. Fairly sure it's real leathers here,and not some vague imitation. Hardly any plastic to speak of. And as any decent mobile 'on the go' cans ought, the ear pieces fold flat. Whilst on the topic of ear pieces, the leather ear pads are held magnetically in place, very firmly, so should they wear out it's a cinch to swap them. Luxe high end, please say hello to durable and unfussy everyday usability, need a pair of headphones for travelling, anywhere, or are you a nomadic minimalist who shuns the idea of excess. These cans could be just the 'one size does all' trick. Plug the fine and good length cable into your iPhone, your iPad or you ilaptop and expect to be down right impressed. I'm not going into specifics of sound, my personal everyday use phones for quite some years now have been the venerable HD 650's. I bought these as I need some on the go travelling cans. We all have our own opinions, and we all have our own pair of ears, but what I will say is these little beauties definitely are a 'good step up' from what you will find in any of the the major material excess franchises. Pull these out of your cool light weight maximum carry on allowance backpack in the departure lounge, and be prepared for more than an odd glance of knowing approval. Highly recommend.Read full review

The B&W P5s are a rather refined piece of work - slinky design, leather and chrome, very comfortable on the head and a well balanced classy soundscape. Best for home use, but the short cable may need an extension for some listeners . A pleasure to own.

Thanks good product, box looked like it had seen better days, otherwise the cable mic broke from inside out without even tugging at the cable. I have another of these p5s so comparatively am confused why this broke so easily. Otherwise am completely happy with the product

The Bowers & Wilkins P5 are a great pair of headphones. Both in terms of sound and design. Design wise, they are classy headphones. Very durable and made of high quality materials. Sound wise, they are very crisp and clear and non-overpowering bass. I would recommend this headphones for anyone who likes to listen to classical or people who are in touch with the vocal side of songs. Im not saying that bass heads wont like these as I am a bass head myself yet I still love these, but they just dont have that punchy bass that a BeatsbyDre or a VModa delivers. Now in terms of comfort, 10 out of 10.
excellent trade. love the headphones. Amazing sound. Great trader. Lives up to all the hype. Highly recommend
