Bowers & Wilkins P9 review

 

Like a supercar, the bass-ey P9 are fun to take out on the track, but they're not practical for most of us.

Gorgeous and accurate upper register ; Rich and powerful midrange ; Sleek and stylish design ; Robust build quality ; Luscious bass response

Bass is often overpowering ; Tight clamping force

The P9 are capable of amazing moments, but their propensity to overpower elements with overwhelming bass in some of our favorite songs is tough to justify for a pair of headphones that cost just under $1,000. When we listen to a pair of top-tier cans...

Bowers & Wilkins P9 Signature review: Beats deluxe

 

The Beats by Dre promise, the thing that's driven millions of people to spend hundreds of dollars on headphones for the first time, is an intoxicating mix of premium design and bombastic sound....

The bass is bananas ; Premium materials and collapsible design ; Choice of cable lengths and a Lightning option ; Easy to power with a smartphone

Heavy and bulky for portable headphones ; Condensed soundstage ; Treble is a little too polite ; Cost is hard to justify

Bowers & Wilkins P9 Signature Headphones review: Exquisite design, gorgeous sound

 

B&W knows how to celebrate. The British audio company is marking its 50th anniversary with a set of to-die-for cans.

Best headphones B&W has ever produced ; New angled drivers produce sweet, natural, and balanced sound ; Luscious, comfortable fit and luxurious industrial design

Lends a dark coloration to some recordings (or is that just the insane low-end frequency: 2Hz?) ; Tight-fitting headband needs time to break in ; Priced out of reach for many

Happy birthday, B&W, and congratulations on this awesome achievement. The beauty of the P9 Signature is surpassed only by its first-rate audio performance. Expensive? Yes, $900 is a whole lot of lettuce. But the price tag isn't over the top for what's...

Bowers & Wilkins P9 Signature Headphones

Unlike nearly every other speaker company that jumped into the headphone market with a complete line, Bowers & Wilkins has released just one (or two) headphones at a time. The P5 on-ear was first out of the gate in 2010; then the C5 in-ear and P3...

B&W P9 Signature review

 

A worthy pair of headphones to commemorate B&W's 50th birthday

Stunning midrange clarity ; Superb detail levels ; Weighty, agile bass ; Precise but exciting character ; Comfortable and sturdy build

Bass a touch on the rich side for neutral ears

Their price tag will be a consideration, but the B&W P9s wholly make up for it in the way they sound
