Using them and loving them, a review of my almost perfect Bower & Wilkins P5 Headphones
First Impressions:
Wow, a finely crafted product with beautiful details and rich materials. Where’s the plastic? All you want to do is touch them.
Use:
Mostly at my desk and around the office listening to anything from podcasts to streaming music. I’ve had them for about 12 months.
Visual Language:
Understated vintage Hi-Fi cool, with a contemporary twist.
Comfort:
Usability:
Quality:
Sound:
Very good, granted I don’t significantly put these through it’s paces with full high quality recordings. It certainly fulfills the need for an office environment with background noise.
Value:
They are great value. Like other vintage Hi-Fi equipment they are something that you will have for life or at least a very long time. The leather should age with time and will become personalized with wear. The components that might need replacing are modular and can be changed out easily.
