Bowers & Wilkins - PI3 Wireless In-Ear Headphones - Gold

I've been waiting for these for a long time. They came today, and I was just about giddy. There were plenty of choices for both the stabilizer fins and ear tips, so I was quickly able to find the right size for me, although I admit it took a minute to decide which way was left and which right. The L and R labels on the wires are virtually invisible. Unfortunately, right out of the box I could hear a scratching noise on the left side along with a bit of a hiss, and I tracked its source to the wire coming out of the right side where it connects to the volume piece. Coincidentally, this same thing happened years ago with the C5's. Best Buy replaced them after the first day, and I never had a problem again. I have faith that this will turn out the same way, but I'm glad I bought the geek squad warranty. Pushing past the 'static'-type noise issue, I pinched the wire so I could listen without distraction. These sound absolutely as good (maybe better?) than my B&W C5's and C5 Series 2's. They're a bit less aggressive on the bass end of things, but that is not a bad thing. I'd call them more balanced because of it. The sound is so good that I'll deal with having to go back to the store to return it and try another pair hoping for no defect in the wire. 4.5 for Sound Quality and the jury is still out for build quality.

I did not like the dual drive it just did not give a great sound presence . I would recommend the pI14 over the pI13 .

So these headphones have awesome quality when it comes to sound,theres no noise cancelling but your not gonna hear anything else but music, Calls are great when working outside my girlfriend can hear me clearly over the truck engines, I've had bose sports,countless beats, and these are the only bluetooth headphones people dont complain they cant hear me
