"How do the P3s sound? Brilliant. They’re a punchy, exciting listen, brimming with vigour and keen to please. Low frequencies have a remarkable sense of not only weight but depth too. The P3s display a Messi-like sense of control: delivery is as precise as you could wish for in a headphone at this price."

"Decent-quality downloads or streams are reproduced well across the board, containing definition, clarity and punch where appropriate. Fellow passenger-annoying leakage is pretty good, while the small-ear-sized pads block out a good whack of background noise."

"B&W really nailed the design of the P3 — it’s comfortable, practical, and looks terrific. We also dig the sound; I’m sure I’ll be using these a lot just ’cause they’re so easy to listen to for long periods of time."

"There are differences between the P3 and P5, to be sure, and there's little doubt that the original model remains B&W's flagship, but they have so much in common that users looking for a more budget-conscious alternative will certainly feel well-served by P3 -- and the new model has unique assets of its own that merit attention."

The Gadgeteer - August 2012Read the full review
"The P3 headphones are a big step up for people on the move. Their warmth, detail and comfort are first-rate. I would recommend leaving them in your carry-all once you get to your destination, though."

"If you’re in the market for a pair of sub-$200 headphones that look and sound like they should cost twice that, look no further than the Bowers & Wilkins P3 Headphones. Your ears will thank you."

"The C5 headphones are easily my top choice for an in-ear headphone option. There really is no comparison sound and comfort wise no matter how much money you spend on an alternative."
