Lots of love for the Bowers & Wilkins P3 and I can now understand why. Its slimness, stylish design, and metallic look are not just for the show. They are being supported by exceptional sound quality and comfort.

I felt compelled to write a review of these headphones so that buyers could get a different viewpoint before spending a lot of money; particularly as they seem to be getting rave reviews in the Hi-Fi and Audio press.

Stylish; Well made

Poor Sound and Fit; Expensive

Like many other reviewers have said you need to run them in for a few hours. Lovely rich mids and deep bass with natural highs. These headphones will satisfy the middle of the road people like me and all the others who like that hippity hoppity stuff.

These are advertised as leather but they're not they are the old model with cloth earpieces..ive no doubt the quality will be good...

Bowers & Wilkins is well known for its renowned, exquisite speakers that have made it the respectable British brand name it is today. When B&W entered the market with its first ever pair of cans, it has made it known to all that is was a force to be reckoned with. The P3 are B&W's latest and second...

I really liked these headphones as the sound quality was great! But, when I used them during a normal duration if doing my homework, my ears would physically hurt from the lack of padding around the ear.

Great Sound; Lightweight

Cord Too Short; Hurt Ears If On Too Long; Uncomfortable

A very well made product that has a serious quality feel to it. The sound is very neutral and so these are no good if you like a lot of bass. You need to spend a bit more to get a true hi fi sound - the B&W P5s have a much better sound but are not as portable and cost more.

I absolutely love these headphones. I always get complemented on the design of the product and I find they have a very balanced sound. Money well spent.

Although the P3 doesn't score major points in the individual categories here, it's quite good overall for a portable headphone in my view. The highs are very recessed, which can be mostly corrected with a treble boost that doesn't result in excess sibilants or harshness.

The B&W P3 headphones reproduce sound impeccably. I think that they marry sound and portability perfectly so that I can real very relaxed at work. In fact, these have actually helped me to stay focused at work, whereas other headphones have distracted me and their fabricated equalizations have hurt...

Warm, natural EQ; No exaggerated frequencies, Comfortable for long period of time / lightweight, Beautiful design, Easy-to-use, understated control talk design, Very portable yet these do not sacrifice audio quality, Small, hard-shell case

After a few hours; ear pads begin to hurt ears (short moments of rest can cure this
