Yep I agree with pretty much all of that, if you do want to use them for
travelling - and you have a Smart Phone - then there are Apps that can
enable the Microphone of the B&W P7 so that you can hear what's going on
around you, the App works in the background.
There are advantages to these close headphones, for one thing you hear
the sound from the cans and there's no interference from other noises
like a train engine, other people talking etc - in my view its a far
better solution than noise cancelling - but it does come with
disadvantages as does everything I guess.
I didn't realise these cans were now so cheap, B&W must be really keen
to push those things and I again I say, at that price - if you're
looking for a most reasonable pair of cans - then jump down to your
local store and pick up a pair.

I've got these too. They sound superb. The only disadvantage is that they
can get uncomfortable over long listening periods. As stated they are
designed for use with portable gismos like the iPhone and sound great but
they are not ideal for short journeys as they are quite big. More
importantly they are an enclosed style and cut down external sounds so if
you are on a local train or bus you may not hear your stop being announced,
and for a blind person walking around it wouldn't be safe. They are great
for long journeys, holidays or of course listening at home. They'll sound
great with any high end equipment as well as portables.

Yep, it is though note the following.
The cord is short, around 4 feet, they're really designed for Portable use b
but no reason whatever! why you can't use them with your favourite stereo
system.
Incredibly well built as is every B&W product.
Wonderful bass, never heard anything like it through a pair of headphones
but again, shouldn't expect anything less from a company such as B&W.
Yep, top is still there, loud and clear but that's B&W.
