CAN'T GO WRONG WITH B&W
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ORIGINALLY BROUGHT THE P5s BEING CHEAP. ONCE I HEARD THE CLARITY OF THEM I JUST FELT LIKE I WAS CHEATING MYSELF INSTEAD OF SAVING THE MONEY. I DROVE PAST 2 BESTBUYS THAT DIDN'T HAVE THEM JUST TO GET THEM THE SAME DAY.I RETURNED THE P5s IN VALLEY STREAMS IN EXCHANGE FOR THE P7s. I HAVE LISTENED TO THRILLER FOR 25 YEARS, BUT I HEARD THINGS IN THE BACKGROUND THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD BEFORE WEARING THE P7s.

Perfect Headphones for Travel and Home
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are some of the best headphones I have ever owned. I previously had the well received Denon AH-D2000 and loved them but their cord along with their weight were not ideal for travel. I recently purchased the B&W C5 and waited for a headphone model that would continue their sound signature. Finally, they are here.

Great Sound!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned many brands of headphones and I have found the perfect brand. I am staying with Bowers & Wilkins. These headphone will put Bose and Beats to shame. The bass is great and the sound is clear, promise you you will not believe these are not a powered headphone. I also like how easy it is to remove the cord for replacement or upgrades. These also feel great over the ear and are very light. They might have a bit of a price tag; however, You won't be disappointed by this brand.

Fantastic cans for a music lover
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this set after my B&W P5's bit the dust after 3 years. The over the ear design, and revised driver make a huge difference. I have tested these on a number of different devices, and they definitely would benefit greatly from an AMP/DAC. These sound great with all different types of music, my personal favorite is classical. Bass and sub-base are strong and accurate, but not disruptive. High's are crisp and tight. Mid's are strong but can be muddy at times. Overall, this is the best headphone I have owned. I will forever be faithful to B&W.

Best Headphones Ever Purchased
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far the best piece of equipment I have put on my head let alone ears. Relaxing when I was on a plane, to serious and upbeat while at work. So comfortable I forget where the lovely harmonic sound is coming from. I would upgrade from the other big name headphones any day to these. The cord is a bit short for laying in bed purposes otherwise a phenomenal investment.

AWESOME
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I read every review. I went with B&W reputation and they definitely deliver! I love these cans. The sound from these are so good you don't want to take them off. The fit was good for me. Took a week of wearing to break in. My favorite headphones and worth every penny.

The pinnacle of sound and build quality
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In a world of Beats and Bose, Bowers and Wilkins offers more to its customers the all the other competitors. The sound quality is amazing and this is coming from a person the has had many other headphones before this unit we are talking about today. Build quality is that of a Rangefinder offering only metal and leather with no plastic to see in site. The sound is in a word balanced an unique. I love these cans and they will last me for years to come.

You get what you pay for
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The build quality is amazing. They are so luxurious and you get what you pay for. There are so many other headphones at this price that are plastic junk and these are just what you expect from B&W. They sound great and you are able to here so much more in your music.

A stylish and excellent sounding headphone
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality is outstanding. The ear cups are replaceable. I have been using it with my Axon 7 which has 32 bit DAC and the head phone sound awesome. The sound was accurate and i was able to listen every song with a new experience. I had a little pain while wearing it for long hours.

The Holy Grail of Headphones
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I waited about 3 days to get my hands on a pair and believe me the wait was well worth it. I had been debating whether to go with AKG but after listening to these there was absolutely no contest. Money will spent. I feel it should have come with a better case though.

Not worth the money
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are very nice headphones, yes. The problem is, there is a lot of competition out there and these don't particularly emerge as winners by a large extent. They are only marginally better than many headphones available especially in the $200-400 price range, but just not better enough to justify their heinous price tag. Build quality is really good for headphones, but then again, build quality of headphones isn't exactly a very high standard to begin with, primarily since many are concerned about weight and comfort vs. durability. I also found the sound to be lacking consistency in each song I played. Some songs sounded brilliant, others mediocre, all depending on the way the music was recorded. I've know B&W to make nearly any song sound amazing in their loudspeakers, despite whatever studio recorded it. These headphones do not continue that tradition. Keep in mind I was using high quality recordings, all at high bitrates and mostly from alt-rock and trance genres. These headphones are impressive no doubt, but NOT for $400. Maybe more for $100-200. In fact I've heard better sound from cheaper headphones, sadly. I am also not a huge fan of the design. Yes it does look classy, but the design has a certain evanescence about it; like in a few years down the road these things will look rather ugly or odd. Just a bit too strange for my tastes. Borderline hipster. I just want an all around good looking headphone that doesn't have to scream about how different it is by its design. Ultimately, I returned them.

Outstanding
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are just remarkable headphones. They're not inexpensive obviously but I guarantee you'll feel like you got your money's worth. I highly suggest you listen to music from a true hi-fi source such as Tidal online to appreciate just how great these are.

Nice, but a tad pricey headphones
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're looking for the best set of phones that your average Magnolia Best Buy sells, this is it. I've purchased the Sennheiser Momentum M2 and the V-Moda M100. These are the best all around headphone. I do think they're a bit pricey for what you get, but Best Buy is easy.

Better than Sennheiser M2 Wireless
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Took back the Sennheisser M2 Momentum Wireless grips for these as overall they were a better fit, and sound quality is a tad better/crisp.

Much ado about this item
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went into my local Best Buy and told the representative that I wanted to buy the "Unicorn" of headphones and he referred me to the Bowers and Wilkins P7 model. The sound is great; emphatic period. My experience is that they are difficult to adjust for long-term comfort on my head; they require a great deal of re-adjustment. The other disappointment is the frailty of the cords. I had to replace the one with the built-in mic after 7 months. Now the second one is beginning to fail. I don't know if B&W has realized this vulnerability but given the fact that they so readily offer replacements for $24.99 (at last check) it seems that they may. My failed cord was very easily replaced with proof of purchase which Best Buy's retail system faithfully provided. I've got another 14 months' of free replacements then I'll have to pay out of pocket if I wish to use that cord any longer. I regret buying them and would not had I had it to do again.
