B&W P5 Wireless - aptX headphones from Bowers & Wilkins

Written by

Bowers & Wilkins goes wireless with their headphones P5. It is also the first time this prestigious manufacturer uses Bluetooth in their headphones.

 

 

B&W P5 Wireless is the third version of P5 from Bowers & Wilkins. In September last year we reported on the upgraded P5 S2 , and now B&W launches P5 Wireless.

P5 Wireless uses aptX for wireless transmission, and B&W claims that they cut the cord without sacrificing sound quality. The battery provides 17 hours of listening time before charging, and a USB cable allows you to charge directly from a laptop.

 

 

There are two 40mm full-range elements providing the sound, and B & W's team has tuned P5 Wireless to provide the same sound quality as P5 S2.

The new P5 Wireless - hear everything, anywhere, wirelessly

 

 

 

Bowers & Wilkins, the British loudspeaker company noted for bringing its knowledge and experience of acoustic excellence to the headphone category for the first time with the highly regarded P5 headphones, now announces P5 Wireless – the latest in convenience headphone listening without any compromise in audio quality.

P5 Wireless are Bowers & Wilkins first Bluetooth® headphones, and offer all the power, precision and true Hi-Fi sound of the renowned P5 Series 2 headphones – the same luxurious materials and solid build quality – but with the added advantage of high-quality wireless streaming.

Using the same Bluetooth aptX® technology that helped deliver fantastic audio for the Bowers & Wilkins T7, P5 Wireless are capable of reproducing the best possible sound that your device (whether it is a smartphone, tablet or computer) is able to deliver.

P5 Wireless are simple to connect to a compatible device, and also feature intuitive controls that allow users to not only play/pause and skip music but also answer calls without fuss. They also feature two microphones, which helps deliver great telephony audio in addition to fantastic music playback.

P5 Wireless’ rechargeable battery lasts a class-leading 17 hours before a charge is required. And thanks to a supplied USB cable, charging from a computer is a breeze. If a cable is preferred to wireless listening, one is supplied in the box along with a padded carry case.

The luxurious leather and aluminium materials and discreet, timeless design will be familiar to those who know the P5 Series 2, but with P5 Wireless people who demand the freedom of wire-free listening can enjoy Bowers & Wilkins sound quality for the first time.

 

The new P5 Wireless is priced at $399.99 and available online immediately at

and in retail locations by July 15, 2015.
