These seems a low price, they are an older model and lack EQ but sound great to my ears and look great. Seller is registered business and has good feedback so should be valid from what I understand.

Next best price is £199 probably as they are discontinued but that is probably a fair comparison price for the quality.

Seller also has a few with the blue colour if preferred.

B&W product info:
Enjoy the finest sound quality, wherever you are, with the Active Noise Cancelling Bowers & Wilkins PX5 headphones.

Exceptional Bowers & Wilkins sound quality
From the company behind the speakers at Abbey Road studios, amongst others, the PX5 delivers the class-leading sound quality you’d expect. Custom-designed, 35mm drive units are developed and tuned by the same team behind the £22,500 Diamond 800 speakers used as reference speakers the world over. This means you get sensational levels of detail and realism that others simply gloss over.

Keep the outside world out, with Adaptive Noise Cancellation
Making sure you hear every drop of detail from the high resolution drivers, ANC (Adaptive Noise Cancelling) ensures an inky dark background. Whether you’re at a busy station or terminal or travelling by train, plane or coach, adaptive noise cancelation measures the background and cancels it out – letting you concentrate on the music.

Sleek style – race-car inspired
Just like high performance motorsport cars and bikes, the PX5 uses woven carbon fibre composite components. These ultra-strong arms give the PX5 headphones the perfect combination of light weight and strength. They also come with a storage case for protection when not in use.

Long battery life
With up to 25 hours battery life, the PX5s have enough juice for a whole day of music. What’s more, this is with Bluetooth and ANC activated, so you don’t have to go wired and passive to get this battery life. If you’re in a hurry, just 15 minutes of charge is enough for five hours playback.

Intelligent functions
They might be packed with technology, but that doesn’t make the PX5s difficult to use. In fact, they’re amongst the most user-friendly headphones in their class. Rather than using an array of fiddly buttons, the PX5 uses intuition. Lift an ear pad to hear what’s around, for example, and the music automatically stops. Put it back and music plays on.

Make music on the move a luxury experience, with the Bowers & Wilkins PX5.

    I have both and the Bowers and Wilkins are a lot better in my opinion.

    tried these a few years ago, sound was poor, 35mm drivers, also small ear cushions.

    I assume you mean the hole inside the cushions? They seemed ok to me and the wife who I brought them for very much likes the fit and their sound stage. She did not like the 1More headphones as too big.

    Worth considering and further review reading then for folks who have lobes like the bfg

    Bowers and Wilkins are one of the best names for sound, heat from me up there with Bose and Bang & Olufsen.

    Better than Bose I’d say. Bose are more tech focused and tend to use heavy EQ which can sometimes sound artificial. Bowers however focus entirely on the audio and as natural detailed sound as possible. (edited)

    Seems a really good deal and the seller seems genuine. Note these sit on the ear rather than over the ear, so may be less comfortable for extended use

    I have the Sennheisser 4.50 which are really good - but by all accounts these are better. I was impressed with them when comparing headsets many years ago - they are very well made and have a good overall sound. The model seems to have been replaced as there is limited availability of the PX5 compared to the sennheiser. Forget the pricing in the review - that would have been the RRP at the time of the review. They are typically around £200 and comparable to a Bose or Sony at that price point.

    There is only one reference, that I can find, on that website to B and W and it is the PX, not the PX5. Different headphones. Do you have a link to the analysis of these?
