If you're thinking of spending £170 on headphones, look no further

Amazing sound quality; premium construction; very comfortable

They're £170; but that's about it

Only made from rubber, stainless steel and cloth for the earpads. Sound quality is brilliant, and I can't understand why you would say they are light on bass because trust me they ain't.

Bass is very deep; Midrange is fantastic; Very durable; Clear vocals; one of the best you can get for £170

Needs a little more of the higher frequencies

I find a lot of headphones fall short on the comfort department. To date, the ugliest set of cans ever, the Koss Portapros, are the only truly comfortable headphones I've tried on that I would also be willing to listen to.

I was going to purchase another make of headphones just because I wanted them in blue!! Then I went into my local store and tried the "blue" headphones along side these. The B &W won. I listen to a wide range of music and these won hands down!

After countless debacles with Beats by Dre headphones, which I have returned on every occasion, I've gone and took the plunge with the B&W P3s. They cost the same as the Beats Solo HDs, and in a good way for the P3s, I cannot see why. They simply run rings around the Beats. Here's why.

These are the best headphones i have ever used ... I have had other high end brands and these surpass those by far! The sound is crystal clear and the comfort is as if you are not even wearing headphones! Plus they are very stylish for over the ear phones.

Excellent Sound quality, tremendous clarity. Good packaging - esp. the hard case. Good foldable design. Competitively priced. Memory foam adjusts to the ear shape and rests comfortably. Downside - Bass is too strong. Overall a great buy!

I cannot recommend this headphones highly enough. I have now had them for a year, and they have proven themselves exceptionally durable and reliable headphones that produce high quality sound. Being able to replace the headphone cable is genius.

These awe perfect travel Phones... Great mid range and crips highs too, bass is as good as could be considering the size of the drivers... The brand says it all

You have to hand it to Bowers & Wilkins . This British audio company makes some of the best sounding speakers anywhere and they charge handsomely for the privilege. But for some reason, when it comes to personal audio like headphones and earphones, they have become somewhat affordable.

Tuned just right for commuting; Very well built; Classy; Affordable (for B&W; Very comfortable; Foldable; Strong; protective case; Replaceable cable

Too bassy and muffled sounding for quiet environments
