By far the best headphones I have ever owned, and the sound is so crisp with such clarity that is not fathomable to believe until you put these puppies on. These headphones blow the Beats out of the water, and have much better build quality as well as material used to construct them.

Sleek, comfortable and beautifully balanced, Bowers & Wilkins' P7 headphones are a pleasure to use. This British audio company has a huge reputation in delivering premium audio quality in an equally polished package, and the company's first dive into over-ear headphones is another notch in B&W's...

It almost impossible to describe the auditory feeling derived while listen to music with the Bower & Wilkins P7 headphones. Everything is balanced and clear, it feels like you are in a cloud of music that fills you auditory senses. When I say balanced, I truly mean every thing.

Barely a word against, and much praise for the P7s, then, which well represent B&W's usual combination of luxurious design and sonic prowess.

The Bowers & Wilkins P7 continues B&W's evolution as a world-class headphone manufacturer.

Even with all the headphones I review, there are times when I need a break and return to a reference headphone. For me it was the Bowers & Wilkins P5-incredibly comfortable with great sound. No more. The B&W P7 headphone have replaced the P5. The P7s are more than just a bigger P5.

First-rate design and construction; Exquisite audio quality; Replaceable cord; Easy to drive; Foldable

Expensive; Not as much long-term comfort as less expensive P5 or P3; Carrying case

Unboxing the P7's is an occasion. Slide the cover off the box and the headphone's sit folded on a platform. Keeping these headphones in the box is a great idea as they can be grabbed when wanted and displayed to passer-bys when not.

More than three weeks have passed since we received the P7 headphones and not a day has gone by without them stealing glances and leaving us to wonder how B&W fused technology and art so effortlessly.

Exquisite design; Portable headphones; Fantastic sound for almost every genre

Heavy after long listening sessions

Open sound; comfortable; luxurious feel; warm sound

Bulky build for some
