Yeah.....I have read about 6 or 7 different P7 reviews thus far and each seem to depict a different sonic character
That's why I'd like to see the measurements too in lieu of not listening to them. Any ETA on their release here in N.A.?

Just received my pair of P7's from Phil at Custom Cables (thanks for the speedy service Phil!)
I have been trying for some time now with little success to find a pair of closed around ear headphones that are comfy, compact and sound good (enough) for use at work. Despite my efforts (see profile for a loooong list), I still use my Bose QC2's at work because they meet all of the criteria, despite far from high end sound quality. I am really hoping that the P7's can replace them by improving on the SQ and not losing out on comfort.
First impressions are that they might do the job.
Sound quality beats the Bose easily (unsurprising) and remind me more of the Momentum's than any other headphone that I can recall.
Size is pretty good - not quite as large as I had worried they might be.
Comfort is yet to be determined. They are a nice weight, however the ear cups are a little closer to my ears than the Bose, despite being much larger on the outside. Clamping pressure is a little firm, but likely to loosen up over time.
Will update with more thoughts when I have the chance to give them more ear time.

So I own the Momentums and M100's. The Momentums I class more for appreciating musical transparency while the M100 for clean bass impact. Which one would you replace for the P7? Very interested to see if you would class the Momentum superior to the P7. I don't know why but I have a feeling the P7 has the smooth clean response of the Momentums (maybe a touch brighter) with the bass impact of the M100???

I was told October.....I also see that Amazon.co.uk lists them as being available on October 14, so maybe that is the worldwide release day. Interesting that you can google it and nothing comes up retail-wise, even though several members have gone to shops to demo them.
Having owned and partially liked the P5, I think that the P7 should be auditioned prior to purchase, or bought with a return if dissatisfied clause. I say this because the P7 user reviews are a very mixed bag, with numerous plaudits and a few indifferent comments. So try before you buy folks
Well I haven't heard the m100, so I really can't tell you. If the m100 is a real basshead phone, perhaps the P7 would have less bass. I'd say, see if you can give them a listen somewhere.
Most Magnolia stores within Best Buy will have them on display at the end of the month. If your local store has a B&W headphone display, it will have the P7.

Unfortunately while we have Bestbuy here in The Great White North, no Magnolia.
Thanks Dave.
