I should have mentioned this in the last email as its so obvious.
We get a lot of questions regarding the sound of B&W products and how
they sound.
I can honestly say that - given I own 3 different B&W products - you've
heard one then you have a fair idea of how the others will sound.
So I'll put that into context a little futher, I have the B&W Z2
IOS/AirPlay dock which sounds bloody nice - the sound it gives out is
astonishing given that the machine only has 2 speaker drivers, one for
left and one for right. -
Okay, so that's very basic B&W sound, very good but even better than
that is the B&W A5 AirPlay speaker system I have which is mid-range, it
extends on that basic sound of the Z2 and of course soudns even better
given that it has 4 drivers in total, 2 for bass-mid range and 2
tweeters, incredibly nice.
Now if you want to go further up the chain with your speaker system then
the A7 is the top of the line and it sounds utterly brilliant though I
still don't own one, I have heard one and there's more difference in the
sound given the A7 has bigger drivers than the A5 as well as the
addition of a sub-woofer, go eat your heart out and and party on <smile>.
If you have a Z2, A5 or A7 then you have some of the best AirPlay/IOS
speaker technology and quality available today, no joke and no fooling.
.All these speaker systems have Aux-In jacks so you can connect an
external source but the A7 goes a few steps further with a USB port for
a memory stick full of music and an Optical digital in, just right for
that CD Player, optical out of a computer etc.
I don't know whether the USB port of the A7 can be connected to a
computer but I suspect it can, when I get one I'll read the manual <smile>.

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.
