The Bowers And Wilkins P7 are not electro static headphones and yep, the Electro Static one’s are very expensive - a couple of grand at least - but very well worth having though I do know someone who has them and they require a special amplifier to drive them. > On 26 Sep 2015, at 8:20

Hi, They are a powered headphone, using the electro-static principle I think patented by Quad audio electronics. Made by many other manufacturers, but the sound, of course being subjective opinion, is, or was, like nothing I had ever heard before. Not Budget, but fabulous. Joe -- Joe Paton
