Bowers & Wilkins is a brand that's synonymous with (very) high-end hi-fi equipment. For a few years now, B&W has been expanding into new product markets with devices like the Zeppelin iPod speaker or the Panorama sound...

Overall, the Bowers and Wilkins P5 headphones are an utter delight, but at ￡250, they're not for the shallow pocketed. Sonically, they deliver and appear built to last too. So if you're into sound that much, then the P5s are worthy of serious consideration.

Renowned for it high-end hi-fi, Bowers and Wilkins' decision to make headphones is a bit of a departure for the company. At first glance, its debut set of cans, the P5s, certainly appear an impressive addition to its respected range of audio porn.

Best headphones on the market, won't find a better built, finish and sound anywhere.

In most minds Bowers & Wilkins conjures a remembrance of dark-timbered, British-built loudspeakers with a distinctive note of midrange warmth, but in the last few years the company has attempted to develop some fresh associations for its brand.

Bowers & Wilkins, a name synonymous with high fidelity and premium products, recently unveiled the B&W P5 Mobile Hi-Fi headphones, a pair of headphones long overdue for iPod, iPhone and other mobile players.
