As I look at the great B & W Diamond speakers can stand anywhere, I was very pleased that Bowers and Willkins now also has headphones to choose from. I have compared this model with other commercially and was impressed right away. I try not to be influenced by tests, the finally I listen to music and no metrics. The build quality is top notch. Aluminum housing and real, velvety leather, which is very pleasant wears without a feeling of pressure to leave on the earcups. The correct seat position you have to look at first. Then I recorded the headphones with a variety of musical genres. I am using an Archos MP3 player with Yamaha technology and my home theater amplifier Yamaha RX-V3010. Especially on the amplifier the sound is phenomenal. You heard the positions of the musicians, and a lot of details from the background. Whether the guitarist embraces the strings or the pianist strikes the keys - everything sounds out one, even if the singer is breathing. That's Music! For the rest I use the earphones even when I look at a film evening still in the living room home theater. When Iron Man attracts his suit has never sounded so good. Have a lot of fun to the gizmos, because I have decided correctly. Because can not be arguing about taste, everyone has to find his fortune himself. I only recommend the same to the Central Box Office Model P5 to access because the detail is here but much higher than in smaller brother P3. He also has leather instead of cloth, which is easier to maintain. Enjoy pre-listening.
