Superb sound
Comfortable
Headturning design
Look and feel great. Smells like a new leather jacket out of the box. Comfortable for hours of listening. Balanced listening experience overall
But highs are emphasized on some tracks. Will probably out live you

Excellent sound
Very comfortable
Blocks out sound very well
Gorgeous styling
Well-built
The fit and finish of the Bowers & Wilkins P7s are simply first rate
The P7 headphones are extremely comfortable and super easy to fit on anybody's head
The P7's overtheear design isolates you from outside noise nicely without needing any noisecanceling
A big bottom without sacrificing anything up top. Wonderful clarity. Comfortable
With beautiful leather and stylish design notes. They fold up nicely. Userserviceable pads

And drivers
Bowers & Wilkins' first over-the-ear headphone
Unique styling
Lavish build quality
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
Leather earpads will cause your ears to get steamy on warmer days
Some remote features may not work with Android or Windows devices
Carrying case isn't protective enough
Conclusion
Bowers & Wilkins has found the sweet spot with the P7 headphones. They are comfortable
Detailed
Dynamic
And musically engaging. They have the ability to resolve music in ways that I've never heard before on tracks that I've listened to hund
Price — all that handstitched leather ain't cheap. Designed for portability and isolation
So unless you have a noisy home
They aren't as desirable for home listening
Not quite as graceful looking as B&W's onear models

Wonderful sound, Replaceable parts, Good looks and build
Poor audio isolation, Not everyone will find them comfortable, Merciless with poor rips
There's no doubt that these headphones are good. They're probably even great. They probably even justify that price tag. If we were to judge them on audio quality alone – sitting here, writing this review, listening to the warm, layered, nuanced balm of ...

Abstract: The latest and most expensive Bowers & Wilkins headphones are also the most desirable. The smell of the leather as you open the box, the contrast of chrome and black, it all says luxury. You also get a lot in the box. There are two alternate cables, one f...

Expensive; leather earpads will cause your ears to get steamy on warmer days; some remote features may not work with Android or Windows devices
The Bowers & Wilkins P7 may not the best headphone you can buy in its luxury price range, but it certainly is among the best, with excellent build quality and rich sound that works well with a wide range of music genres and sources....
Top sound quality, (Mostly) Excellent build quality
Expensive, Sound bettered by ‘at home' sets at price, Mediocre isolation, Jack construction needs a tweak
The Bowers & Wilkins P7 are classy headphones with the sort of construction most other sets can only dream of. Sound quality is bettered by open-back sets, but they're portable headphone royalty. As long as you don't work on a building site – noise isola...
