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...- doxaman

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...- doxaman

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...- doxaman

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...- doxaman

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...- doxaman

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...- doxaman

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...- doxaman

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...- doxaman

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!- doxaman

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...- doxaman

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!- doxaman

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

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...- doxaman

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...- doxaman
