Maybe you just have a huge headHopefully it will not have painful clamping pressure like the PX had. That headphone was so uncomfortable to wear, painful actually, that I had to return it.

Mine loosed up with time, but it still is the tightest clamping force of all my headphones. I guess the good sound it produces distracted me from the clamping forceHopefully it will not have painful clamping pressure like the PX had.

Haha, well LCD XC go for that price and I personally prefer P9 to those, so maybe to the right person it's a decent priceOkay, I'm listening to the P9's today in my headphone rotation. Just for fun I found this eBay listing:

And I thought I might have been over estimating their worth! Of course there are lower prices, used, listed. Hey, I'm still a big fan and have to remind myself to use BT less!
wow - the 1650USD is twice of what I spend when they were released. Maybe you should save yours.....OMG! I purchased mine for $900.00 list. I also have a new spare set of earcups! I was thinking about selling them for $500.00. Maybe I’m nuts too.
I totally agree with your opinion on the P9. Also I do wish B&W would do another wired headphone. I mean with the cost of ”high end” BT headphones certainly there are those of us that can justify the cost of a new model B&W wireless headphone.It's interesting having these, the PX8 and PX7 S2 in the stable now, it makes you realise just how much manufacturers must be sacrificing performance for BT cans. The P9 are a huge notch above even the PX8, yet retailed for only £100 more. Really wish B&W further refined this unique, and technically superb headphone. It's a real flavour that's for sure, and doesn't work with all genres so well, for EDM I'l always pick up my Focals. But for vocalists and rock, these things are incredible.
They pair nicely with the iFi Go blu, the xSpace makes them a bit more balanced but also eliminates some of the warm goodness.
280 for the P9 in mint condition is a goddamned bargain, imo these things compete with any closed back on the market right up to £1000 and even beyond. I even like them more than the LCD XC tbh.Just picked up another set of 9’s courtesy of CEX UK for a very good price of £280 B grade as they aren’t new but I’ve checked them over and cleaned off the bit of wear grime and dust and they look like new a total bargain ! It’s just a shame and I’ve said this before that they have gone down the wireless route and forgot what they do best “wired” !!!! Anyway hope this is of use to all you P9 owners that want to know if they have a balanced wired set now here’s some gratuitous pics of my £280 bargains
