BVS Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Anyone tried these new headphones? http://store.apple.com/us/product/TX584ZM/A/Bowers-&-Wilkins-P5-Mobile-Headphones? My Sony 7509's have reached their best before date.... Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 B&W genrally makes good stuff (legendary loudspeakers) but it is doubtful they actually make these. Very pretty to look at and I am sure they sound good, but "noise isolating"? They are not active noise canceling headphones as far as I can tell, and they don't really fit over the ear enclosing the air space, so I think they probably would not work for our purposes. - Jeff Wexler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 B&W started improving design and loosing quality long time ago. My best friend is crazy about them and owns from speakers to blue tooth headsets. Majority of the products does not impress me at all.

Marc Wielage Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I agree 100% with Rado. I came to the conclusion a long time ago that B&O's products are designed more to look cool than to sound good. Very disappointing. Haven't heard these headphones yet, though. --Marc W.

I think you meant B&W but B&O (Bang & Olufson) is a company that has always gone for "the look" of the product, sometimes sacrificing any real effort in other areas.

RadoStefanov Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Thanks for correcting me. Bang and Olufson is what I meant.

RadoStefanov Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 For earpieces Shure is the best have ever heard. They know how to make wireless,earplugs and vinyl needles. I use to work with Shure Wireless almost exclusively in my LIVE performance work, How come they do not have broadcast products? Sorry for OUT OF TOPIC.
