They're open backed so they won't sound quite the same as the B&W P7's
but that's fine by me.

Thanks for mentioning these cans, I can't see any reason why I shouldn't buy a pair
given that they come in at around $360 in various places I've found with Google,
would be good to have a nice sounding spare pair as seconds to the B&W P7'S
we've been discussing over the last few days.

Cool man. Wow then it's real good. I mean Senheiser is 1 of the best. >From
what I've heard. I've not heard Senheiser sets with anything real. I did hear 1
but it was just for 1 of the display things at a muzeam that you aim the little
Walkman thing at and it plays stuff having to do with the display. So I 1 can't
judge and 2 can't really fully come to turmes with what you mean. But from what
I've heard, I believe you.

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.
