Optional Necessities: Bowers & Wilkins P-5 Mobile Hi-Fi Headphones

Last post I decided decided to give you some great music, this post it's time to finally listen to the songs. The B&W P-5's are a pair of headphones that I personally use, nearly every time I listen to music. They're of wonderful quality, made from leather and metal, with little to none plastic used in their production. They also look fantastic, and do not look overbearing on one's head, utilizing a sleek and retro design. Aside from build quality and aesthetics though, the P-5's sound quality is remarkable. Those Dr. Dre Studio Beats may have enough bass to make your teeth chatter, but the P-5's bass is much punchier and responsive, and is an improved listening experience altogether. While the P-5's are perfect for listening to any music, I constantly catch myself straying from rap towards gritty, natural rock and jazz, because these genres step away from the auto-tune so often seen in pop/rap, and utilize the P-5's to the maximum in terms of separation and dynamics. The P-5's have no active noise canceling system, but I could be fooled because my shoulder is constantly tapped when listening to these.
The B&W P-5's retail for a worthy $300, you won't regret this purchase.

  1. dude! this is awesome. I'm all about good quality headphones. I just ordered these. The retail price is 100 but I got them for fifty which rocks.
    I would obviously purchase a higher end pair but alas I don't have 300 dollars to shell out on something like what you posted.
