First-class looks and sound

When you first open the box and discover the gorgeous Bowers & Wilkins P5 Series 2 headphones, you may spend more time admiring their looks than you would with other headphones. But don't wait too long before getting them on your ears, so you can experience their truly excellent sound. With a driver design that borrows from the flagship P7 headphones, the P5 Series 2 is a definite upgrade from the original P5 design. These headphones sound more spacious than their predecessor, with more detail and immediacy, as well as punchier bass. While their sound commands your full attention, the P5 Series 2's elegant styling will attract attention anyplace you wear these mobile-friendly headphones.

Comfort is never a question

While sound quality has been improved, the comfort factor of the original remains the same. The earpads and headband are still covered with soft sheepskin leather, for a luxurious look and feel. The aluminum frame still offers durability while remaining lightweight and providing a shining contrast to the deep black earcups and headband.

Remote and mic for Apple® devices

The P5 Series 2 headphones come with two miniplug cables: one straight cable, and one with a built-in remote and microphone. The three-button remote offers track and volume control for your iPhone®, iPad®, or iPod®. The microphone lets you take hands-free calls with your iPhone. Pull the magnetic earpads off the headphones to reveal the cable connection and replace your cable. The headphones also include a quilted carrying case with a magnetic clasp for storage and travel.

Features

Overview: The Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) P5 Series 2 on-ear headphones retain the classic styling of the original P5s, with the leather ear pads and detachable cables. The Series 2 edition features an upgraded drive unit for even better sound quality. The P5 Series 2 headphones come with two 4' cables, one with an in-line remote/mic compatible with Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod, and a quilted storage case with magnetic closures.

Ear Cups and Drivers: The P5 headphones feature 40mm dynamic drivers that work more like a driver in a hi-fi speaker. The headphones are tuned by sound engineers, so they sound as good as they look. The removable magnetic ear pads allow you to change the cable, or replace the pads if they gets damaged. These luxurious sheep's leather ear pads with an optimized grille pattern to allow the air to move freely through the pads for minimal acoustic impedance.

Folding Design: The ear cups swivel so you can fold them flat for compact storage in the supplied quilted soft case.

Cables: The B&W P5 headphones come with two 48" interchangeable cables, including one with an in-line remote and microphone that works with your iPhone. The headphone cable has a unique curved terminal on the headphone end that plugs in under the left earcup. The 2.5mm sub-mini plug rests in a contoured jack to protect the terminal and prevents accidental disconnection. A spare cable, without the mic/remote, is supplied. The 3.5mm miniplug features a slim connector (less than 1/4" in diameter) that allows you to plug into your portable music device, even when it's housed in a hard protective case.

Made for iPod/iPhone/iPad: The in-line mic/remote on the headphone cable is certified to work with Apple i-devices. The 3-button remote can control volume with the two outer buttons and playback with the center button. A single click of the center button will answer or hang up a phone call, and toggle between pause and play. Two quick clicks will skip the playback to the next song, while three quick clicks skips back to the beginning of the currently playing song. The remote and mic are supported by iPhone 3GS or later, iPad, iPod touch (2nd generation or later), iPod classic (120 GB, 60 GB), and iPod nano (4th generation or later). The remote is also supported by iPod shuffle (3rd generation or later). Audio is supported by all iPad and iPod models.

Would this work on an Android phone?

A
It will, but the volume controls on the in line remote does not work. Only the middle button for pause works.
kyle  Jan 08, 2018
A
It should. It has a 3.5mm mini-jack. I mainly use it on my computer and MP3 player but it also works on my old cell phone.
edmond  Jan 08, 2018

Yes, on my Verizon LG 5.

One more thing to add is that these are high quality with superb sound to boot. Would buy again all things being equal.

I'm not sure as I have only used these for home use and on an iPad. The volume and stop/play buttons work but they are kind of too high up for my taste as you are not able to see which buttons you are using .
