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...

Wonderful sound ; Replaceable parts ; Good looks and build

Poor audio isolation ; Not everyone will find them comfortable ; Merciless with poor rips

They're expensive, they don't flatter badly ripped tracks and the audio isolation is poor, but the sound quality is absolutely fantastic. If someone gave us a set, we'd give them a big kiss. There's no doubt that these headphones are good. They're...

Soft leather ; Brilliantly built ; Epic sound

Price ; Large headband ; Less than portable

Gorgeous design with quality materials, not too ostentatious for over-the-ear headphones and can be worn out and about, superb audio performance with all types of music and movies

Some sound leakage outwards means you’ll be sharing with those in your immediate surroundings, hardly budget (but they don't look or sound it)

Perhaps the first and most impressive thing when taking the P7 pair out of the box is the feel: the weight, the soft leather, that brushed-aluminium and steel construction - all of which exude an aura of class.

The Bowers & Wilkins P7 offers impressive build quality, good comfort, and smooth, rich, well-balanced sound in an over-the-ear headphone design that shuts out a lot of external noise. The earpads are removable and there's an extra cable with a...

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.

The P7 handled our bass test track, The Knife’s “Silent Shout,” without warping even at maximum volume. For less intentionally bass-heavy songs, like, Bill Callahan’s “Drover,” vocals retained the proper amount of treble edge to stay at the front of...

Exquisite design ; Portable headphones ; Fantastic sound for almost every genre

Heavy after long listening sessions

Bowers & Wilkins' P7s sit amongst the best electronics products

Powerful, vibrant audio performance with excellent bass response and clarity in the highs. Lovely, luxurious design. Includes a cable for passive listening.

Very expensive. Headband can feel a tad uncomfortable on long listening periods. Cable has no inline remote or mic.

Conclusions For $400, the Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless sounds, looks, and feels like a luxury product. If you're shopping in this higher price tier, there are plenty of compelling wireless options, so it's worth reading up on the JBL Everest Elite 700...

Excellent sound; a big bottom without sacrificing anything up top. Wonderful clarity. Comfortable, with beautiful leather and stylish design notes. They fold up nicely. User-serviceable pads, cables, and drivers

Price — all that hand-stitched leather ain’t cheap. Designed for portability and isolation, so unless you have a noisy home, they aren’t as desirable for home listening
