The P3 is the dedicated storage box, which no longer is unfortunately quite so graceful: Plastic Fantastic and the snap of the box acts as a cheap (er) s spectacle. Nevertheless, the headset is in secure fit and can be relatively quickly pack and unpack again.
Once you have retrieved the P3 from his unworthy plastic bed, it immediately becomes clear that the thing is a lightweight. And yet he feels extremely wertig: since creaks nothing, all of a piece, the adjustment to the bracket not too easy. Well done, B & W.
The comfort is good. The material of the ear pads (B & W marketing speech 'Acoustic fabric') feels comfortable. I had some concerns that the receiver tip over while wearing because he felt has some flip side in the direction. This is probably because that he - 'relatively far forward sits at least in my anatomy on the ears. While sitting there but nothing should happen for the little sprint to the underground 'I imagine' maybe not quite suitable.
So far all good, but what about sound?
Caveat: the sense of hearing is basically a very subjective matter. When in doubt, always the self-test is recommended.
So what now? 'The P3 placed connected to the iPhone and cross bound by the playlist. First impression: where are the heights? The sound is very 'dull'. The bass was relatively present but highs and mids are differentiated for my Empfingen far too little. Disillusionment. I am relatively pampered by my Denon D5000 and does not want to create the standard for a road headphones this size. But for almost 200 Euro '?
I have a direct comparison my almost 10 year old Koss Porta Pro can compete against the P3, the price (and visually anyway) takes place in a completely different league (Amazon just 28, - EUR, EIA is 59, - EUR) , I had the Porta Pro has long been unused, but was equally surprised at how much more pleasant to me this is compared to the P3. Although the Koss is also famous for its Basslastigkeit but here, for example. Votes are not somewhere in Bassbrei below but are clearly to locate.
Bottom line, I find it almost as unfortunate that the P3 could not convince me sound. They want him actually like. He looks great, feels great. But in the end counts have been produced as the sound and the need to evaluate each for themselves.
