I've got the P7's and really like the sound. I take them on holiday but they're a little too big for everyday portable use. The only other drawback is I find them a little tight on the head with prolonged listening. I've looked into headphone amps before, but couldn't find one with a lightning

Howdy! Yes I’ve heard it said that these headphones can be a little uncomfortable over a long period of time listening, I’ve not experienced this yet myself and that’s most likely because I don’t usually listen to headphones more than an hour at a time before a small break so perhaps that

Just to clarify things so as to avoid any confusion, the P5's Mary speaks of are the model down from the P7's, both are made by Bowers And Wilkins though I don't think the P5's have either the full quality of audio that the P7's have nor do they have the quality of construction, I'm sure Mary

I have to agree with Dane here, which might come as no surprise, since I have always appreciated the sonic quality, if not the price, of B products. I purchased a set of these a few months ago. I already had an excellent pair of AKG Q701 phones. The only drawback with those is that the use of a

Hi Anders, Obviously, one can do what one wishes with one's money. But if I were primarily listening to sports, I'm not sure I'd spring for something like the p7. For me, listening to essentially talk doesn't require the fidelity and cost of something like a p7. But different strokes, as they

I don’t its a question of what’s best, everyone likes different things. The question here is about good value for money and good headphones for the price. As I initially stated, - in my view - the B P7 certainly give you that for their money, great and natural speaker type sound, incredible
