First of all after going through many positive reviews on the internet i decided to go with the p7 the package when unboxed had a smell of leather all around and the product itself looks quite apt for its price range made of leather and stainles steel but when i hooked it with my ipod the sound...

Compared to the B&O H6, these headphones have a very narrow soundstage. Violins and other high pitch sounds are harsh. Female vocals and classical music sound good, but somewhat unrealistic. Certain instruments such as triangles could not be heard on these headphones.

As with many people, I've gone through a range of headphones, mostly in-ears of late (Sennheiser IE8s, Shure 535s). I purchased these as a replacement for my in-ears and very excellent Shure 535s and have been blown away by the quality of the product (it feels like an expensive premium product) and...

The first and the most important point of my conclusion is that I no longer see the need to buy regular P7 headphones because P7 Wireless cost only $50 more and does both jobs great.

classy design; premium materials; legendary sound tuning; 17hr battery life; BT4.1 w/aptX; wired and wireless connection

involved wired cable attachment

I purchased the P7's to use with my iPhone and iPad. I own the Bowers & Wilkins A7 Airplay speaker system and have been extremely impressed with not just the sound quality but also the design and build too.

Sound quality; design; comfort; Bowers & Wilkins heritage

None

I have been involved in music for years. I was looking for a pair of headphones that gave me clarity and depth, not just at home, but also for my mobile music. These are the best I have ever come across. Outstanding. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

If you're looking for over-ear Bluetooth headphones, you're probably going to be making your selection based on four main factors: their sound quality, their aesthetics, their comfort and their price.

Stylish design; Good audio quality; Easy usability

Nothing of note

The beautifully designed Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless delivers a rewarding Bluetooth listening experience.

Powerful, vibrant audio performance with excellent bass response and clarity in the highs; Lovely, luxurious design; Includes a cable for passive listening

Very expensive; Headband can feel a tad uncomfortable on long listening periods; Cable has no inline remote or mic

It's been interesting to watch Bowers & Wilkins tweak its audio lineup in recent years. The company has gradually added Bluetooth versions of its wired headphones, and generally speaking, it has done a fantastic job. The new, over-ear P7 Wireless is a $399.99 alternative to the wired P7 ( at Amazon) , and its high price will be a deal breaker for some. If the handsome pair is in your budget, however, rest assured that its audio performance is top-notch, with superb bass response and clear definition in the high-mids and highs. There's almost nothing to complain about aside from price, so the P7 Wireless earns our Editors' Choice award. DesignThis circumaural (over-the-ear) P7 Wireless ( at Amazon) looks quite similar to its wired predecessor, which is to say, it looks stunning. Available in black, the pair features a soft leather-lined headband, as well as leather-lined earcups and earpads. Where there isn't leather, there's aluminum; the P7 Wireless looks a little like the inter...

If you love your music, and if you're reading this then you probably do, then the Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless is well worthy of your consideration. They're a touch heavy, but supremely comfortable, the memory-foam cups create a good seal around your ears and the sound they produce is absolutely...
