Bowers & Wilkins C5 In-Ear Headphones
That and the treble levels are only modest criticisms of otherwise excellent earphones: with C5, B&W has truly nailed virtually everything else, combining a visually striking and functionally novel design with great sound and reasonable pricing.

B&W C5 In-Ear Headphones Review
Venerable high-end speaker maker Bowers and Wilkins, affectionately known as B&W, entered into the consumer marketplace years ago with several stand-alone speaker systems designed to support Apple's iOS devices and AirPlay technology.
Pros:
- Solid build quality
- Great audiophile sound
- Good rejection of audio transfer when cord is rubbed
- Ear loop works great to keep monitors in-ear
- Excellent passive noise canceling without isolating you completely from the outside world
Cons:
- Microphone is so-so
- Frustratingly useless carrying case

With a ton of bass, it's lucky the secure loop won't let these in-ears go anywhere.

Bowers & Wilkins C5 In-Ear Headphones
This is a review of the original B&W C5. Not the recently released C5 S2. Design/durability : The C5 feature a really unique design because of the secure loop. The finish of the earphones is very nice (metal construction), and the cable *looks* sturdy.
Pros:
- Powerful and fun sound
- good details and soundstage
- looks and feels nice
Cons:
- Terrible build quality
- overcooked bass
- average comfort

Amazing headphones, but the price?
I hear sounds in music that I had no idea were there. However, I have to say the price on here is way overpriced! Double what competitors are selling for? Unbelievable.

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.
