Abstract: Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) has long been a respected name in high-end audio, producing jaw-dropping “statement” products such as the Nautlius loudspeaker, applying new materials to speaker design such as diamond-coated tweeters, and placing its speakers in...
Excellent sound reproduction. Secure Loop design and weighted body hold earbuds securely in place. Inline remote for calls and controlling music functions. Includes airline and right-angle adapters.
Secure Loop takes some getting used to. Heavier than other in-ear ’buds. Included case is too fiddly to use.
B&W’s C5 offers crystal-clear audio, and deep, satisfying bass. At less than $200, it sounds like a surprisingly good value. Product C5 In-Ear Headset Company Bowers & Wilkins Contact bowers-wilkins.com Price $179.95 Requirements iPhone, iPod, o...

The Bowers & Wilkins C5 earphones offer clean, detailed, natural sound with tight bass. They feature an integrated microphone with navigation controls for cell-phone use, and an eye-catching industrial design with an innovative adjustable Secure Loop keep

Bowers & Wilkins’ C5 earphones have a particular sonic signature: abundant bass, a full midrange, and forgiving high frequencies. Some will love them for precisely that balance, while others will find the bass overwhelming and the upper frequencies to...
Abstract: The C5 ($179.95) is the first ever in-ear, noise-isolating headphone from the British firm Bowers & Wilkins, which is of course best known for its high performance loudspeakers. Firms such as B&W enjoy a hard won reputation for knowing how high perfo...
Wonderfully rich and open sound. Includes inline mic with media controls. Exquisite buildquality. As beautiful to look at as they are to hear. Block out/isolate just enough sound to make them great for the outdoors
