I thought I heard that the electrostatic ones are extremely expensive. At
least these are something we could save for.

This B&W set even give my Senheiser reference set I've had for 10 years
a good run for their money, you can hear the audible difference.
The P7's are the best I've heard particularly in their price range, no
emphasis on any particular part of the audio frequency spectrum, if
there's music to be played or spoken word to be heard then that's what
you're going to enjoy, the absolute detail.

Epic dude! Well I guess you kind of answered my question. I was going
to ask about the hi end sounds. Yes here we go again. Lol! Would 1 hear
the wistle to Godzilla 98 real crisp and clear? Seriously it's real
rare the speaker or headphone that can do it and do it well. This is
why it blows my mind that Sony TVs aren't as crisp as Samsung. Like,
what the heck? But I digress. Seriously dude. Also real crispness to
the high end is usefull for other things. It makes things real sharp
and clear. Well for me anyways. I just bring Zilla up always because
that's 1 instance where it gets real tricky. Either you do it well or
it's meh. It's that particular that wistling sound to it's roar is.

And that’s exactly what the B&W P7 offer and a reasonably affordable
price particularly if you’re in the u.S. Where I’m told these cans can
be yours for under $300.
The P7’S are built from stainless steel and other metals with a touch
of leather plus leather ear cuffs, the cuffs are attached to the frame
magnetically and replacements are available should they be needed.
These cans are designed with portable/travel use in mind given the fold
away design and the quilted leather carrying case as part of the system
but they do come with a 6.5MM adapter for conventional stereo systems
along with 2 cables, one is for use with a mobile handset and the other
is the conventional stereo type 3.5MM jack type cable.
The cable for mobile handsets has an inline control for answering
calls, volume up/down, volume up/down and a microphone.
On hearing the headphones I was shocked, it sounded as though I was
listening to a 30 inch sub woofer in a room along with silky high
tweeters, it took me a few moments to realise that I was in fact
listening to a pair of very nice cans and then it all clicked into
place, we’re talking about a B&W product after all.
I have only one complaint about these headphones, the cable could be
longer however I do appreciate that the phones are designed for
portable use and if I want a longer cable then its just a matter of
plugging in an extension.
Speaking of the cable, swapping or replacement of same is easily down
by removing the left ear cuff, unplugging one cable, plugging in
another and replacing the cuff which snaps back into place.
