Bowers & Wilkins P3 compact on-ear headphones
The Bowers & Wilkins P3 headphones combine pristine audio performance with maximum wearability. These slimline headphones fit lightly and snugly on your head, and fold up to stow away in your pocket or their own hard-shell carry case. And they produce a remarkably natural, detailed sound on the move, thanks to some major technological innovations that reduce distortion to a minimum.
· P3’s drive units have been designed from the ground up to give the best possible sound from a small set of headphones. Repositioned terminals make sure that airflow around the drive units is uniform, resulting in a more linear movement. And a unique damping system provides the optimum balance of stiffness and flexibility.
· P3 is a highly portable set of headphones built for everyday use. The headphones can be folded to slip easily into a jacket pocket, or for storage in their own specially designed hard-shell carry case. So no need to worry about your headphones getting damaged in your rucksack, handbag or flight bag.
· A bespoke fabric covering the pads provides acoustic transparency in the centre, while forming a perfect seal around the edge for better bass and noise isolation. The pads are made from heat-sensitive memory foam that moulds to the shape of your ears, becoming more comfortable and enhancing sound quality over time.
· P3’s cable comes with a remote/microphone attachment, so it works seamlessly with your iPhone. And because the cable is so easy to detach and swap, P3 is also compatible with all other mobile phones and MP3 players.
