I personally had the B & W P5 test belongs to the iPhone in the Apple store and found the sound very good, exactly what I want to hear. Honestly I had small parts in such a clean sound not have expected. The missing any heights, they are just not as inflated as in many other headphones. I am a professional musician and it does not like, when headphones or speakers distort too much. Very neutral without plated Bässse and treble sound the P5. But everyone of course has since own preferences, and that is indeed völig fine. I have the B6W P5 buy now and you absolutely need a longer break-in period, as compared to those that run on a daily basis in the Apple store for weeks, they sound fresh out of the box actually a bit too hard in the upper midrange. But you can listen to the well-established that the better thing really, like boxing also, not only are nuances, but just the Sharp goes off and headphones, as well as boxes, are after importing more open and generally much Enjoyed and musical. This is pure physics and not a fantasy. So necessarily be a few weeks or a few days a little louder with pillows on it so it does not bother, just leave various CDs through the Repeat mode. NATURAL remain headphones always a matter of taste. Personally, I find the B & W even better than my Sennheiser HD 650, which I have for years, and that sound more like a 'middle hole', but what a lot of love to love. In comparison, the B & W neutral and full in the middle of what I like. But I'm sure that some the emfinden different, and that's fine like that. In order not to do the wrong manufacturer, however, you should consider the philosophy behind this headset. One should not expect pears from a cherry tree. This philosophy of the manufacturers when P5 is just neutral and undistorted sound. I mean, that's very good. The price is justified necessarily from the hervorrrgenden processing; simply costs money. I do not like plastic bombs and love the materials used, because I know that the headset is made to last and always sound better. My still expensive HD650 is everywhere already broken because. From cheap materials The P5 is worlds better. Definitely 5 stars from me. -
