Got a secondhand WS99. Previous owner got them on (closeout) sale for 110€ and he was selling it for 60€. Just 4 months old. Couldn't resist.   First of all...what poor packaging. no case or cover. Just two cables. Both quite short. And pretty cheap looking. Cables can't be removed  and goes into both cups. (How durable are these headphones). Build all plastic except for steel headband and alu cupcoverings and swivels. Definite lacking in premium feel or look. Very very poor isolation. Is it actually semi open?(oops missed that it was an semi open...

I bought an open box model B&W p5. Got warranty. But just 1 working cable. It's typically british. Luxury high end item. Like a Jaguar or Rolls Royce. Or a B&W speaker set.   Always have been intrigued by B&W. The first of many high end stereo companys (Bose don't count) getting their feet wet ín headfi gear. P7 was my initial target. But damn its expensive.399€. No where can i find it cheaper.  To be honest the sound didnt wow me when i tried it a few times.  P3 is nice. Love the different colors. but I think it's more trendy than luxurious...
