B&W’s P5 offers full-size sound quality and outstanding passive noise isolation in a truly portable headphone. While a good chunk of the $300 price tag surely goes towards the P5’s design, the result is much more than an attractive appearance: the P5’...
Sounds so sweet, you'll want to rerip your entire music library into lossless files. Memory foam earpads block a ton of ambient noise. Go ahead and wear 'em in public — the lowprofile headphones won't make you look like a ham radio operat...
