You can get a great set of over-the ear headphones for $100 or less - pick up Grado's SR60i or Shure's SRH440, and you'd need a keen ear and a petrified ass to muster any sonic gripes. So spending three times that much would seem downright stupid.

Sounds so sweet, you'll want to re-rip your entire music library into lossless files; Memory foam earpads block a ton of ambient noise; Go ahead and wear 'em in public - the low-profile headphones won't make you look like a ham radio operator.

One small gripe: The tiny sub-earpad tab that holds the cable in its routing channel is poorly machined and sharp enough to cut the rubber cord jacket; Pricey? Yep; Worth it? No doubt

(1 items) British high-end-audio manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) has been making speakers for over 40 years, but it's only with the P5 Mobile Hi-Fi Headphones , announced last November , that the company has ventured into the field of private audio listening.

By far, the best earphones I've heard, I've had AKG's 240M, Senheisser 101, and many others. and basically, you will hear things in the recordings that you've never heard before. I also loved the no plastic, so if you lean on a pillow, you do not hear the boxy platiky sound, You actually don't hear...

Bowers and Wilkins' P5 Series 2 headphone is both new and not really new. That's because, except for a color change from silver to black on the earpieces, it looks identical to the original P5 and also costs $299.99 (£249.99 UK, AU$449.95).

The Bowers and Wilkins P5 Series 2 headphones have excellent build quality and rich, well-balanced sound that's now more transparent and accurate; Its earpads are removable and the two included cables are detachable (one has a built-in Apple friendly remote/microphone).

Somewhat pricey; leather earpads will cause your ears to get steamy on warmer days; not all remote features will work with Android and Windows devices

The 'mobile Hi-Fi' stays true to its word.

It's hard to stand out in the crowded headphone market, but the upmarket Sussex-based Bowers & Wilkins has made a good job of it these past few years. B&W's designs are distinctive – a bit too distinctive for my liking in some instances – and its dinky over-ear P Series is pure design art.

The sound quality from these headphones are phenomenal. Everything sounds very natural, without the excessive bass present in most mainstream brands like Beats. I've owned a few pairs of Sennheisers as must say these are definitely a lot better.
