I have the M200 but not had a chance to use the C5. On the strength of these IEMs I purchased the M500s.
KEF have taken a similar approach to both their products, the only way I can explain it is that in terms of sound and acoustics they do not excel in one particular area but across the whole spectrum.
This will suit some but not others but what I can tell you is they are more comfortable and better sound than any of the B&W range (I have also owned the P3 & P5).
I have tried both in different environments, for example I used the M500s on a flight, they do not isolate a 100% but then they are not noise cancelling headphones. But they were comfortable enough to use throughout the flight and blocked out most of the noise.
The M500s are becoming a bit of an obsession, I can't wait to put them on again, there is something about their quality which i have not experienced in other headphones.
IMHO, when it comes to headphones, KEF are definitely sitting at the top table.
