P5

Some headphone makers like to mess around with sound. At Bowers & Wilkins, that's a job we prefer to leave to the studio engineers. With P5, the sound you hear is completely natural – as close to the sound of the original recording as we can possibly take you. We call it true sound. You'll know it as soon as you hear it.

Behind P5's natural sound is some of the most advanced technology ever to be put into a set of headphones. Specially developed ultra-linear neodymium magnets and highly optimised mylar diaphragms keep music sounding rich, pure and incredibly detailed, with no need for artificial adjustments.

The P5's high-quality sound and luxury materials are supported by smart design and user-friendly features. The Made for iPod cable allows easy control of an iPod, and the microphone facilitates calls on an iPhone. The leather earpads are magnetically attached, and can be quickly removed to swap the supplied cables.
