I was in the market for some new headphones. My Sennheiser PXC450s have worn all around the earcup, and they don’t make a good seal around my ears with glasses on anyway. I’ve been looking at various alternatives, chief among them the Sennheiser MM450 headset, because it’s bluetooth, and the sound quality is really good considering what they have to deal with. I gave them a good test (as my girlfriend has them) by taking them on the tube last time I was in London. The sound quality isn’t quite up there for me (although it’s remarkably good, with particularly tight bass), and more importantly, they don’t isolate well enough.

When I heard about B&W moving into headphone production, and aiming for a really well-made, high-end set which was designed to be used with portable devices, I was naturally interested. Upon investigating more and reading a couple of reviews, I thought I’d give them a go. After all, if I don’t like them after a week, I can always return them.

They’ve turned up today.

I’m reblogging this for the few audiophiles in my followers list. And seeing as at first glance I can’t see a link to the actual product, have a link to it here.
