Bowers & Wilkins - Wired Over-the-Ear Headphones - Brown

The one thing I can appreciate about a good set of earphones, is the detail that goes into the overall sound of the music I listen to...these earphones go far and beyond what I first expected to hear out of them. My music taste can be very eclectic and the first time I tried these out, listening to them as I type this review mind you, every bit of what I’m listening to is coming out with such clarity. The craftsmanship of the build is a close second to the quality of sound that these earphones produce. From Metallica to Mahler, The Cure to Miles Davis, and points in between, these headphones do not disappoint. I plan to buy a dac player in the near future to really let these earphones do their thing, but in the meantime, my phone will be just fine. Treat yourself this holiday season and get yourself a pair of P9’s. Everyone should have a GREAT set of headphones at least once in their lives...

B&W, most known for great speakers (I own a pair of 600 series i got from Best Buy) has had much success with it's line of premium headphones over the past 5 years. The P9 are it's most expensive and ambitious creation yet. The price will be a turn off for many but you get more than you paid for. These may be the BEST closed-back headphones you'll find at any price. The sound is warm, spacious but extremely accurate. The bass is natural yet full and the mid-range and highs surprisingly clear never harsh. The real treat, the more you play them, the more the sound opens up. I find myself "moved" and consumed by whatever music i listen to. I'm so happy I made these my early Christmas gift to myself.

I had almost every headphone on the market from Bose , Beats , JBL , Sony you name it even Hi Res players and I could never find the right setup. I had the P3 , P5 , P7 and P7 wireless. These hit the mark. There is even room for a portable amp for these P9s, but they rock even on a simple device. I enjoy most genre of music but my fav is EDM. These are perfect for electronica. I actually feel the music now. The material is top notch , beautifully crafted. They do require a run in period / break in. In other words the more you use them the better they sound. If you are privy to acquire a pair these are the ones.

These headphones are marvelous. I've listened to others that cost hundreds of dollars more and they fall short of the P9. These are very rich yet extremely articulate headphones with an impressive soundstage for being closed back. Incidentally, these are the only headphones I've ever been able to wear for hours without feeling uncomfortable. Bowers and Wilkins has achieved an engineering feat with every minor detail being brought into focus. The bar has been set.

While maybe not the best value on the market, these headphones sound outstanding. I also own Denon MM400's, B&W P7's, P7 Wireless, Sony MDR-Z7 and Sennheiser Momentum 2 Wireless. These and the P7 Wireless are head and shoulders above the rest. Bass impact is outstanding. Soundstage is great for closed can. To me the detail and soundstage are really what set the P9's apart. If you can afford them, I would highly recommend giving these a try.

This was a pretty good headphone and it is a warmer feel, it uses pretty quality material on this headphone. It was suppose to copy the 800D speakers of B&W. I used to prefer the B&W signature but I like the Focal signature now. You can get focal Clear for $1100 when on sale i will chose that over this.

Awesome sound quality than all headphones I've tried so far. Very clean sound. A little heavy. Case doesn't look high end.

The sound quality is far superior to any other headphones I have owned. Also good noise isolation. Worth the price.
