This is the one article you can safely ignore Betteridge's Law of Headlines . The answer in this case is, yes. Or mostly yes. But first I have to come clean.

Bowers & Wilkins C5 in-ear headset review
Were we impressed by Bowers & Wilkins second headphone offering? For $180 dollars, the C5s are no doubt a posh, well built, and comfortable set of iDevice-compatible intra-aurals with mostly great sound to boot.
Pros:
- Beautiful aluminum design
- Secure Loop cabling provides a great fit
- Big sound with chunky mids and thick bass
Cons:
- Slightly harsh highs
- Moderate cable noise
- Earbuds scratch easily

Excellent Quality and Sound
I bought these for my husband this Christmas and he is incredibly pleased with the sound quality. They are really adjutable and he says they are a brilliant fit. The advertising suggests that it is like having a personal concert - it has certainly provided that for him.

Bowers & Wilkins C5 Review
Despite its hefty price tag, the older P5 headphone is a reasonably good value in my book because – sound aside – very few sets can match its combination of portability, build quality, comfort, and isolation.
Pros:
- 2 year warranty
- secure fit
- fairly inoffensive sound signature
Cons:
- Would be more comfortable without earloop
- frustrating carrying case
- sound quality on par with cheaper sets

Excellent!
I bought it from London Regent Apple a week ago.I had some worries about it but they've gone . I love it ! I used to use Sennheiser cx-300 II but C5 is so different and so much beautiful basses...

damage
the headphone of the same brand that my brother had bought had given me want to try intra, especially because of its flawless finish, I was disappointed in the lack of reliability of intra relative to the headphone, even if one finds still much the same signature sound of excellent quality

A Struggle to get them to fit and stay put
Seem to be very solidly built. Very nice sound when I can get them in my ear correctly. I spend alot of time monkeying around with the "Loop" trying to get it secure in my ear. The buds tend to come loose easily. I am not sure that this design is right for me... but I own them now!
Pros:
- Solid build
- Nice sound when in ear correctly
Cons:
- Difficult to fit in ear and to stay put.

For my taste - it's the best there is in the market for a relatively adequa
Beautiful sound. Deep bass. Very fun to play with iPodom. Bitrate is not below 320. 5:00 warming and all the tools are clearly separated, as if in a studio. Very comfortable. Good insulation from the street.

Fabulous piece of gear
Simply the best I have ever had. I am a big guy and buds generally do not fit or stay in my ears. These certainly do, whether I am spinning at the gym or out and about. The sound is superb and I have no cable noise. I have a bear of Bose Noise-Cancelling Headphones.
