Thanks! I copied those and they sound much better on my mac than what I was using!

Just got myself a set of the APM - $420 delivered/new which felt like the right price to give them a go. I am on a Mac all day long for work (teams/zoom) and just love the integration/handoff and creature comforts of my current AirPods Pro and wanted to go for the Max and give it a go. I...

Hey folks, I have been really interested in this unit for my home office for a long time.  I have only ever heard a Tivoli Table radio (mono) about 7 years ago and it seemed warm and inviting.  I am considering a 2 channel system for my home office.  I have considered used Genelec monitors and...

I use a ProFire 610 (which is supposed to based of the 2626 but in a smaller box with fewer pres/inputs).  I use it with my HD600's and am very happy with the quality.  The DA conversion is nice and the 610 drives the HD600's with a little more power and a lot more clarity than the headphone...

Headroom has two Micro Amp options, the "HeadRoom Micro Amp" ($349) & "HeadRoom Portable Micro Amp" ($399).   I know the regular Micro Amp runs off of AC and can't have the built in DAC where portable runs off batteries and can have an optional built in DAC.   The differences I am...

Not sure if this is the relevant measurement, but in M-Audio forum I read the following differences in specs:   ProFire 410 Max Output Level into 32 ohms - 3.5 dBV, Signal-to-Noise Ratio -101 dB     ProFire 610 Max Output Level into 32 ohms +2.9 dBV, Signal-to-Noise Ratio -108 dB   I...

I just got a pair of HD600's for the first time.  I used to own many Grado's (usually ran un-amped) and departed headphones for a while for speakers.  I recently acquired the Senn's in getting back into headphones after a hiatus (forgot what I was missing).  I think the HD600's were the...

Enjoy them, they are superbly constructed and great sounding headphones.  I think the dust and hype/hate has cleared on these for the most part.  They are fine cans that will work wonderfully for a specific nitch.  Its understood that when buying them you don't get the most SQ/purchasing dollar...

I agree and am happy with mine, I've many great headphones (Sennheiser HD595's, 600's, Grado HF-1's, MS-2i's, and RS-1's).  The P5's are a little expensive for what they are but they are great within their own nitch.  I toss them in a bag and use them for travel, in bed, and when walking the dog...

I am very happy with the P5's.  Worth is is relative and they are have color to them.  I know there is another thread that sort of hangs the P5 out to dry as a $300 headphone in terms of sound issues/color/etc.  I really didnt mind paying extra for the design/aestetics/confort which to me is...

I've had mine for about 24 hours now (let them burn in for about 15-20 hours so far). They had a very weird sound in the beginning as everyone else noticed (muffled mids and missing fullness/top end). As they settled in about 15 hours they started to open up some. There is a nice big sound to...

Mine arrived today - It was a joy unpacking them. They look and feel amazing and the fit/comfort factor is just perfect for me. I love the size of the P5s and they have great isolation. The only thing lame is the cable which is thin and flimsy, everything else about them seems great (including...

This is just a hunch - but given that I have been monitoring the headphones since they appeared available int he apple store (week or so ago) and that the product was pulled/updated with a new code yesterday with a date attached (and because I ordered after this update and they shipped right...

I ordered mine form the US Apples Store (that listed a 2-3 week wait at order) and just got shipping notification within hours of order also. Sweet!

Well - I decided I was going to pre-order and do an in-home demo since it seems that is the only way to give the P5's a fair shake and a shot (for $300) at replacing my $100 MDR-7506's for my closed/sealing/all-purpose semi-portable. But they have disappeared from the US Apple Store (where it...

Wait, are these more expensive for those of you in the EU and a little cheaper for us in the U.S.? $299.99 U.S. dollars (U.S. Apple Store Price) = €219.05 (Euros) right now ...I saw these are 250£ in the UK Apple store which = $377 US. Seems dollar for dollar these will be about 20-25%...

So if these B&W P5's were $200 would they be considered more of a home run by those who have auditioned them? It might be a good isolating portable to pick up in the 2nd hand market down the road. The looks are just pulling me in though and making me want to order them - I really am a sucker...

I too am thinking about pre-ordering in the US since they would be returnable. I just am not sure if I should wait though as my local dealer (a custom audio installer) has typically given me 10% off B&W stuff. FWIW I recently had a B&W MT10 system that I sold and "cross-graded" to the new B&W...

Sounds like those of us auditioning these in the Apple stores (whenever they arrive) need to be careful with initial impression if these do require or improve with a significant # of hours for burn in. If these headphones are just hitting stores (either recently or in the coming weeks) they...

Can anyone comment how these stack up against other closed back/smaller in size options. Stuff like the $100 Sennheiser HD-280 and Sony MDR-7506 or the $200 Beyerdynamic DT 250. I get you are going to pay for the design and appointments with the P5 but I would expect them to be a...

Here is another review from times online technology/uk article: Gadget of the Week: Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones - Times Online Also the B&W Twitter feed recently stated "They are $300 and available through Apple stores in the US later this month" and "we're shipping mid March, should be...
