Bowers & Wilkins C5 Earphones
At just shy of ￡150, Bowers & Wilkins C5 earphones won't be within everyone's budget, but if you can afford them, are the company's first foray into in-ear headphones worth that little bit extra?

Bowers & Wilkins C5 In-Ear Headphones
It seems like it would be difficult for a company specializing in über-high-end stereo speakers and professional studio monitors to enter the realm of mainstream consumer products.
Pros:
- Excellent audio quality
- Rich bass response
- Innovative design provides secure fit
- Built-in iPhone/iPod/iPad controls
- Well protected, sturdy cable
Cons:
- Projects some sound outward

Bowers and Wilkins was founded in 1965 as a boutique audio company. They spent the next 45 years building speakers, before stepping into the headphone with their P5 headphones, which were released to a fairly warm reception – they proved popular after the usual caution involved in a company

Bowers and Wilkins C5
Man, I really wanted to like these cans, they're so cool looking and innovative. But it's kinda like motorcycle racing: when you're pushing the envelope and go into a corner a little hot, you can end up out of shape and wadded into a hay bale pretty quick.

"B&W has taken their world-class, pro-tier studio speakers and shrunk them into two little ear buds. Like you're listening to a full room of sound rather than just headphones.

Bowers & Wilkins C5 In-Ear Headphones Review
British company Bowers & Wilkins make excellent loudspeakers and home theater systems for audiophiles. I've got a set of entry level B&W speakers at home and I like them very much. So when Bowers and Wilkins released their C5 in-ear headphones earlier this month, I immediately placed an order.
Pros:
- Warm, lush sound
- Lots of bass, Very good build quality for the price, Secure Loop and Micro Porous Filter features aren't a gimmick – they really work, Handsome zippered carrying case
- Sort of like a small chicken empanada made of black leather
Cons:
- Inline mic and controls only work well for iOS
- Android and other devices, not so much, High end and upper midrange freqs not very pronounced, though also not as fatiguing, Cable a little bit sensitive to body movement – you'll hear it in your ears when it rubs against your clothes

Review: Bowers & Wilkins C5 Earphones
It's amazing sometimes what one simple design tweak can do for a product. Case in point: Bowers & Wilkins' elegant new C5 earphones . As anyone with oddly shaped auditory canals knows, most in-ear monitors rely on a dubious mix of proper tip/sleeve selection and getting the right seal.
Pros:
- Wonderfully rich and open sound
- Includes in-line mic with media controls
- Exquisite build-quality
- As beautiful to look at as they are to hear
- Block out/isolate just enough sound to make them great for the outdoors
Cons:
- A perfect fit in your ears and yet a horrible fit in the case - the taco-shaped, chintzy cloth carrier comes with a perplexing (and unnecessary) internal cutout mount
- Slightly confusing and unintuitive MFI controls
- Hit the center button twice for next song? Careful with the tips!
