The editors didn't like
Ostentatious
Painful $400 pricetag
Took nearly 30 hours to burn in. Ladies may not take to kindly to the bulky design. Would have been nice if the inline remote worked for other smartphones and not just iOS. Price may put some off
But you get what you pay for
Expensive
Not as much longterm comfort as less expensive P5 or P3
Carrying case

Some remote features may not work with Android or Windows devices
Carrying case isn't protective enough

Superb sound, Comfortable, Headturning design

There's something slightly daring about wearing the Bowers & Wilkins P7 headphones during a commute. Attribute it to the pricey-looking amalgamation of stainless steel and leather, the fact that the plainly visible Bowers & Wilkins label has associations...
