Customer Review

Anyone - like me - triggered by the reviews and reviews, has high expectations could be disappointed. The reviews (eg on whathifi) over themselves sometimes in superlatives - that do not share my impressions. At first I thought: a new model of B & W with excellent optics and processing as my P5 - now known as "Over Ear" but without annoying Press "super!". And above all, a much better sound.

The audio from your retailer was sobering. On the one hand there were the first "Over Ears" also expressed for me, and - far more disappointing: although the P7 sounds a bit better than the P5 - but not substantially better. In addition, the KH is relatively difficult - for hours of listening, there is also therefore better.

"Whathifi" says: "Sensational detail and dynamics". Therefore, had me in terms of resolution a discernible move towards high-end (is in reviews so happy so would suggest) such as a Sennheiser HD800 expected. As I had hoped for too much SIGNIFICANTLY; the statement of the British is probably dyed something patriotic.

My conclusion: Those to whom the sound is significantly more important than the appearance should ask around for alternatives. Because of the P7 is more what for round-gazers than for head-phones.

Design & Material: Top.
Sonically: ok.
Ergonomic: (. Wg weight) mediocre.
