Excellent build quality and rich, well-balanced sound, removable earpads, built-in mic and volume control turns the P5 into a headset for compatible iPhones and iPods, tight seal shuts out a lot of external noise and headphones don't leak sound, protective carrying case included.
Expensive, leather earpads will cause your ears to get steamy on warmer days.
Abstract: The P5 is the company's first Bluetooth model (there's also a cheaper P5 Series 2 that I haven't tried) and, like the other P models, its perky oblong earpads look as if they will leak sound like billyo – but actually don't – and perch on the head support...

Sound is a bit too warm and thus less accurate, Sound is a bit limp, Not the most compact, lightweight headphones around

Overall, the Bowers and Wilkins P5 headphones are an utter delight, but at £250, they're not for the shallow pocketed. Sonically, they deliver and appear built to last too. So if you're into sound that much, then the P5s are worthy of serious consider...
