Bowers & Wilkins P5 Wireless Headphone - 17 hour battery life

AKG · 02-10-2016, 07:32 PM

I have been wanting to get a pair of quality high-end wireless on ear headphones for the last 2 years. I gotten two pairs of $50 - $100 wireless headphones and have been quite disappointed. I am a web dev and spend hours listening to music and in Google Hangouts daily.

They looking awesome and the reviews have been great. Hoping to hear some feedback from someone with some experience listening to them.

Thanks,
AKG

I've no experience with these headphones, but buying Bowers & Wilkins speakers/headphones is like buying a Mercedes car: it's pretty much a given that a high level of quality will be met. Furthermore, as you say, they've been very well reviewed by journalists and customers alike.

Saying that, I did buy a pair of B&W 805 speakers (very expensive and very celebrated) and they sounded awful in my system. But I still feel the P5 headphones will be good as headphones are nowhere near as fussy as speakers with regards to amplification.
