Abstract: The latest and most expensive Bowers & Wilkins headphones are also the most desirable. The smell of the leather as you open the box, the contrast of chrome and black, it all says luxury. You also get a lot in the box. There are two alternate cables, one f...

Expensive; leather earpads will cause your ears to get steamy on warmer days; some remote features may not work with Android or Windows devices
The Bowers & Wilkins P7 may not the best headphone you can buy in its luxury price range, but it certainly is among the best, with excellent build quality and rich sound that works well with a wide range of music genres and sources....
Top sound quality, (Mostly) Excellent build quality
Expensive, Sound bettered by ‘at home' sets at price, Mediocre isolation, Jack construction needs a tweak

Wonderful sound, Replaceable parts, Good looks and build
Poor audio isolation, Not everyone will find them comfortable, Merciless with poor rips
There's no doubt that these headphones are good. They're probably even great. They probably even justify that price tag. If we were to judge them on audio quality alone – sitting here, writing this review, listening to the warm, layered, nuanced balm of ...
Gorgeous design with quality materials, not too ostentatious for over-the-ear headphones and can be worn out and about, superb audio performance with all types of music and movies
Some sound leakage outwards means you'll be sharing with those in your immediate surroundings, hardly budget (but they don't look or sound it)
Perhaps the first and most impressive thing when taking the P7 pair out of the box is the feel: the weight, the soft leather, that brushed-aluminium and steel construction - all of which exude an aura of class. Then you put them on and things get e...
