Abstract: With the new P3 on-ear headphones, has Bowers & Wilkins done it again? Last year’s larger P5 headphones took home the Beatweek award for top headphones, and now the company has followed it up with the smaller, foldable, more mobile P3. What made the ...
Abstract: If you've always had your eyes set on the P5 and simply couldn't convince yourself to hand over $300 for a pair of headphones, Bowers & Wilkins created the P3 as an almost identical copy, albeit with less hardware and most importantly at a more enticing p...

Few headphones look as good as those
The physical construction of the P3 takes some time to loosen up, so be prepared for a bit of design, not audio, breakin.

I also wish it didn't use a Ystyle cable, as it gets most snarled at th
