As a fan of their speakers, I'm very excited about this announcement.

Here's a link, but it's light on details:

iPod & MP3 Headphones | Noise Cancelling Head phones - Bowers & Wilkins | B&W Speakers

Was just about to post this. Looks interesting indeed.

If they're like the rest of B&Ws offerings, they'll be overpriced with poor parts-quality.

If you like B&W, cool...just don't ever look at your speaker's crossover.

I have yet to find a noise-cancelling headphone I like so not much interest for me.

They're apparently noise isolating, rather than cancelling...

I loved my DM302 speakers, which during an audition for an amp shone on the end of £15.000 worth of Naim kit. They were beautifully engineered and that is enough for me to delay buying closed back cans until I see the prices.

I'll wait and see if they bring out IEM's.

 

[mark2410]

interesting, cost estimates?

 

[mythless]

It looks very nice and classy, only time will tell if it's worth the money.

 

[ruknd]

not a fan of B&W but I hope the cans are better

 

[Matro5]

i just bought closed cans that I'm happy with, but I liked the cm1s enough that I'm putting these on my radar. I look forward to info on pricing and release date.

Am I thinking about it? yes I am - as soon as I can go listen to them, I will.

Well, at least they are not made out of cheap molded plastic. Oh, then again, I'm sure the use of sturdy metal is going to cause unwanted resonances. Where was the R&D people?

 

[shigzeo]

I have a feeling the headfi preconception against B&O has someone up in arms against B&W - is it a reading problem that has Bowers & Wilkins, one of the world's most respected HiFi designers spurned?

 

[anetode]

Hot.

I hope they're not OEM sourced

Wow, I'm mortified
