Bowers & Wilkins P5 Wireless - Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones - Black

Product Information

Brought to you by the makers of the award-winning Zeppelin iPod speaker, they're the ultimate mp3 headphones, giving you the same incredible, lifelike sound quality when you're out and about. On the other hand, this impressive noise isolation is accomplished in part by a tight fit: the P5’s headband presses the memory-foam-filled earpads firmly against your ears.

This update will help to address connection issues for some Android users and includes audio improvements for the Px8 model. There is still a long ways to go before the site has all of its the intended features and content, so keep checking back to see what’s new! At the same time, though bass quantity is enhanced, mids are balanced without perception of being too recessed. One tip: The P5’s sound quality varies noticeably with the position of the earpieces on your ears; a minor adjustment can really improve sound quality. Where the P5 succeeds is in offering comfort, portability, and isolation to match the HD25 without tossing style so completely out of the window.

This is very convenient especially noting headphones nowadays only warn you when the battery goes down to like 20%. With the ear cushions in hand, giving them a twist as you would to put them on your head yields about 130-degrees of swivel. The MS400 and HD25, while mostly smooth and level between the midrange and treble, certainly don’t go out of their way to do any of that and as a result get harsh faster when the volume is cranked beyond reason. As a result, wired performance was very similar to P5 S2, but slightly different in comparison to Wireless which now depends on internal D/A audio decoding of digital stream and analog conversion to pump the drivers. This time I'm going to review my wonderful but short-lived Bowers and Wilkins P5 Wireless Headphones.

But if you are looking for premium luxurious headphones and craving high quality wireless audio performance – P5 Wireless sounds as good as it looks! It does not only tell you that it is paired and is on, but it also tells you your battery percentage which is cool. The reggae bass line on “Chop ‘Em Down” from Matisyahu’s Live At Stubbs was forceful and full sounding but well-controlled, while they also conveyed a good sense of space in the club. cable plugs in just below the driver, held into place securely by the earpad, which itself is secured by magnets once you replace it. To power the headphone on just slide the power slider and it will actually wait for a paired device to pair.Part of the issue is the dynamic range of the P5, which is only slightly better than that of the MS400 and not nearly as impressive as that of the HD25. Each earpiece is made of brushed and polished aluminum (or, as Apple’s similarly British Jonathan Ive likes to say, aluminium); the earpads and trim are made of luxuriously soft New Zealand sheep leather; and the sturdy, polished-metal headband is cushioned by thick, leather-covered padding. If the P5’s fit isn’t too tight for you, you’ll be rewarded with audio that’s as luxurious as the P5’s craftsmanship.
