These

 
I guess we're all ears.

Yummy!!!

These?

Are these available now? Where?

 

[PhilW]

Okay at the moment I have the same reservations that I had with the P7 when got them out the box so i'm going to give them some music to play for a few hours before I sit and listen.

I have it. Not had much chance to listen yet.  But my early impressions:
 
Isolation: ok. Not good enough for tube commuting. Good for a relatively quiet office.
 
Comfort: very
 
SQ: Much less muddy than the predecessor. Makes the T5p seem very bassy.  Doesn't have the top end sparkle and bottom end extension of the P7 but clean and pretty detailed.

I'm so jealous! I'm in the USA. What's the odds that the apple store has these in today?

This is a new gadget, you should give official Bowers & Wilkins retailers some time in order to update their stock.
As far as I can see, only Custom Cable in the UK have them on pre-order / on sale, apart from the Bowers & Wilkins website.

I haven't seen a price drop for the original B&W P5 though... Be careful!

I'm waiting for Amazon to stock them so that I can return the previous model...

Fingers and ears crossed!

PS: Apple stores and Apple Premium resellers usually have them for more than the RRP... Oh, Steve, what have you done to us?

 

[ImSyko]

It looks like the B&W website has them in stock. Probably the only place for a week or two more.

I am really interested in getting a set of these cans, especially since the P7 set did not fir me comfortably.  I am most interested in knowing about the sound, clarity of highs, mids and lows and comfort.

 

[WILLDQ]

Does anyone know if they plan to also release a p7 series 2 also?

 

[plakat]

I'm sure there is such a plan. But I would be very surprised if that happened anytime soon... given that the P5 had a 4-year life or so I'd guess the rather new P7 has still at least 1 year left (just an unsubstantiated guess, I do not have any info on B&W product plans)

From what i can gather the P7 is the technology breakthrough that is trickling down to the P5

 

[Zaroff]

Indeed. Same driver technology (same driver, even? they're the same size, 40mm), so I'm quite hopeful the Series 2 will sound quite close to the P7. I'll try to do a compare next week when I receive the new P5...

 

[Okrelayer]

I just ordered from the b&w website. I was a long time fan of the original p5. The p7 sounded so much better but I couldn't get a good comfortable fit. I've been using the nad hp50 lately, and I really enjoy it but I am also having fit issues. I'm hoping this series 2 can closely match those two in sound quality, while having the portability, comfort, and sexiness that it has already!

I'd love to see some unboxing pictures...
