I've got the P7's and really like the sound. I take them on holiday but they're a little too big for everyday portable use. The only other drawback is I find them a little tight on the head with prolonged listening.
I've looked into headphone amps before, but couldn't find one with a lightning connection for my iPhone6. There is one with the older Apple connection but I couldn't find any for newer devices and I didn't want to use the headphone jack as it would just pass on the faults of the built in DAC. I would be interested if anyone has come across ssuch a thing.

I heard some BNW speakers once on youtube and even threw the guy's not so good camera they sounded epic. This person was playing the ship fight at the end of A New Hope and the X Wings were clearer then I've ever heard them. Keep in mind this is on youtube and threw a meh camera, so how must those speakers sound in actual life? I want them homy. Thing is that they were several thousand dolars. So yeah I know these people make good epic stuff. But you can't necessarily judge 1 product by another. Especially a cheeper 1 by 1 that is several thousands. -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan Sent: Friday, September 25, 2015 1:20 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Subject: Re: Bowers And Wilkins P7 Headphones, Why Shouldn't There Be Luxury Looks, Feel, Build And Sound I don t its a question of what s best, everyone likes different things. The question here is about good value for money and good headphones for the price. As I initially stated, - in my view - the B&W P7 certainly give you that for their money, great and natural speaker type sound, incredible tough build, luxury finish etc. > On 26 Sep 2015, at 1:06 am, Hamit Campos <hamitcam...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Cool man.
