    Bowers & Wilkins P5 Mobile Headphones Review

    Well it's been years since I last replied, but about 2 months ago the Left Channel died! a few years ago I removed the cloth and most of the Gooey broken down adhesive and used them daily, I really enjoyed the Isolation they gave me at work, but now they are garbage! I don't know how to get...

    Bowers & Wilkins P5 Mobile Headphones Review

    I wonder if this was a First Batch problem, who knows, but for such a well crafted pair of Headphones and for the cost it is just terrible!  The glue on mine has not migrated to the outside of the earphones luckily but I have relegated these to my work when they get very little use during the...

    Bowers & Wilkins P5 Mobile Headphones Review

    I know this is an old thread but I can't find anything related to the problem I'm having with my P5s   Somewhere on the earpieces their is some glue leaking, I'm not sure if it is the glue that holds the Black cloth on the metal that you see when the pads are off, or else it's glue from the...

    DACMagic Plus Impressions

    Quote: I too have this problem, my iMac is always on but occasionaly when I turn on the DMP there's no sound, like you I have to turn it off again!  I've had mine for nearly 2 years and never had this problem at first!  This is the first time I've noticed someone else having that problem...

    Westone Adventure Series - New Dynamic Driver for rugged activities: Impressions and Discussion

    I found the cable noise to be disappointing!  I wish the remote was located past the intersection of the Y because I use a bit of a twist tie to bring the cable together at the back of my head much like the slider on my UM2s.  I found the cable clip to be useless, but thanks to the twist tie...

    Bowers & Wilkins in-ear headphones = C5

    I'm having trouble with my replacement pair, I've managed to repair a tip as well, they are hard to remove and fragile.  I've pretty much given up on getting a comfortable fit with ANY of the stock tips, I've still got one pair of Complys left, the T400 size and the fit is improved.  I know when...

    DACMagic Plus Impressions

    Even the instructions for the volume knob are complex, but since I'm only using it as a headphone Amp I can't think of any situation where the volume might ever be left too loud from one application to the next!  But coming from the EC/SS which has a well designed generic volume knob with smooth...

    Bowers & Wilkins in-ear headphones = C5

    Finally after 3 months of waiting I'm getting my replacement C5s!  Seems they were lost in transit after I shipped them to the Canadian Distributor, I waited and waited, finally e-mailed my original contact person and he sent out a new pair that afternoon! I missed the UPS today so they'll be...

    DACMagic Plus Impressions

    Got one today for a better price, so far I'm liking the sound USB and Toslink, haven't tried any of the USB 1 or 2 settings, I've mostly just used it for movies through my iMac!  Sounds great with my AKGs and Grados!

    DACMagic Plus Impressions

    I am very close to buying a DacMagic Plus!   Right now I'm using a combo of a Firestone basic DAC fubar going into my EC/SS and I mostly use K701s for comfort in long term listening!  I know that the EC/SS is setup to work best with Grados but I don't use them all the time! What I am hoping...

    Bowers & Wilkins in-ear headphones = C5

    I bought it from an Apple Store the day they first hit the shelves, I've still got the receipt, from late summer 2011!   I've contacted B&W, maybe I'll here back from them soon in the new year!

    Bowers & Wilkins in-ear headphones = C5

    Bad picture, old camera, but why would the metal part of the jack suddenly warp like that?

    Bowers & Wilkins in-ear headphones = C5

    I've  been using mine daily more or less since I've got them, they've been reliable, and occasionally fantastic sounding, lots of cable noise and such, but not as uncomfortable as my Monster Turbines were.   Now the Jack has warped on them!  I've never seen this happen before but somehow the...

    Bowers & Wilkins in-ear headphones = C5

      Quote: I had a lot of trouble with the Shure 215 SEs, found them to be too big for my left ear with bad fit issues, they really hurt both ears eventually after a short time.  So wearing the C5s I've found slightly painful from the start.   I got a little more used to the feel but...

    Bowers & Wilkins in-ear headphones = C5

    I finally got a pair today, so far I am enjoying the fit, and the sound is close enough to my P5s that I think I might be keeping these!  The cable noise is a let down, but I found that if I have the cable running behind my head and tuck the excess away down my collar it is not so bad, and the...

    It's been too long, I'll be there with my Tomahawk portable and a Head 5 for starters, the rest I'll have to figure out what I can carry on the Bus. Finally a meet within my own city!

    K701 mod for a guy with a big head?

    One thing you might try is to leave them on a stand or even hanging over a tall book for a while. I found that the rubber band "Relaxes" a bit over time, it still pulls the headband up when I remove them but it doesn't try to pull them up when I'm wearing them. Also the leather headband might...

    The Grado HF2--It's For Real

    I believe you can still order the MS1 with a choice of plug, some people wound up getting jacks that won't fit their iPods without an adapter But when I last ordered my MS1s, the site was clear enough on this. Now the annoying part... If I get these HF2s, I need to sell my MS1, AKG701s and...

    Limited, wooden portable ATH-ESW10JPN arrives! (with pics)

    My first experience with these fine phones was when I got them out of the box and listened to the Dark Knight soundtrack direct from my iPod Classic there is a bass track on the first track at around 5 min. on the first track that I never heard before! not on my 530s, not on my K701s. Deep Deep...

    Best Grado headphones for newbie

    One thing you might want to watch out for is the size of the jack! I know the SR225s & 325is have the 1/4 Jack. you would need an adapter to get it down to size for your player. One thing nobody's mentioned yet would be to try Allesandro's MS1, they are great starter cans, some say they are...

    Shure sent me SE110's are replacements to E2c's. OK?

    Best of all you can use all the standard tips including the Tri-Flanges and the Black Foamies! I never found the Orange foam isolated enough, the harder plastic tips hurt and they didn't make silicone tips for the larger E2C size. Now the standards are all the same! Enjoy!
