Just to clarify things so as to avoid any confusion, the P5's Mary
speaks of are the model down from the P7's, both are made by Bowers And
Wilkins though I don't think the P5's have either the full quality of
audio that the P7's have nor do they have the quality of construction,
I'm sure Mary could correct me if need be.

I have to agree with Dane here, which might come as no surprise, since
I have always appreciated the sonic quality, if not the price, of B&W
products. I purchased a set of these a few months ago. I already had an
excellent pair of AKG Q701 phones. The only drawback with those is that
the use of a portable headphone amp with dac really helps when you're
listening via an i-device or any other portable, I would imagine. And
the cord on my AKG's is LONG, quite the opposite of the cable on the
P5s. The P5s are really outstanding, even without a preamp. I mean, who
wants to mess around with a preamp when you're out somewhere, like at
the beach or on the bus or whereever that isn't home? I don't mind the
short cable, since I do use these exclusively with i-devices, not with
my home stereo preamp. I still love my akgs, but these p5s are
outstanding and more practical to use.
