RE: Bowers And Wilkins P7 Headphones, Why Shouldn't There Be Luxury Looks, Feel, Build And Sound

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

No, haven't one with a direct lightning connector as yet so you might consider using an adapter to convert from old to new dock standard, this headphone amp seems worth consideration. http://www.cnet.com/au/news/v-modas-outrageously-sweet-portable-dac-and-headphone-amp/ -- ** Those

I like it a lot (the scrub), thanks for that hint. My only problem with goldwave is the screen reader (window-eyes) stops talking for several seconds or longer -- it has something o do with the framerate if I set it to 20, things improve. Colin Howard wrote: > John, > > You

Howdy! Yes I’ve heard it said that these headphones can be a little uncomfortable over a long period of time listening, I’ve not experienced this yet myself and that’s most likely because I don’t usually listen to headphones more than an hour at a time before a small break so perhaps that

Hi Andre Is there a possibility that you could maybe make your sub stand against the chair in which you sit when listening to music? This way, maybe, the sub could transfer some of it's bass through the chair or bank, through which you could maybe feel it? Maybe this is stupid, i don't know.

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
