An ideal product for any type of consumer.

I gave it a lot of thought before making the purchase, but I've never once been sorry that I did. Incredible sound quality, rock-solid connection, and it won't fall off your head (I use it with my iPhone as well as other "apples"). Almost imperceptible sensation in the ears. They provide a sound that is full and comfortable, with outstanding bass performance. Some drawbacks: After using them for a month, there were a few instances in which the left and right headphones became out of sync with…

A useless product, its not worth the money.

The headphones, in general, have a high sound quality and do a good job of isolating out ambient noise. Large negative mark due to the unpredictability of the connection and the lackluster casing. This has a significant negative impact on the headphones' overall perception. Some pros: The sound quality is exceptional (especially when contrasted with that of the Bose QuietControl 30). They fit well in the ear canals. Good noise canceller. Having these drawbacks: You are left wondering whether…

Unattractive product, unprofitable purchase.

In response to the first of the problems, I brought the headphones back to the store from which I purchased them and submitted a request to have them replaced. They were sent to the supplier, and as a consequence of that, a marriage was revealed (after 3.5 weeks), and new headphones were brought to me. The store itself did not reveal any deficiencies, and the supplier was contacted as a result. However, the same is true for them! After giving it some serious thinking, I decided to give back…

Pros
  • The sole positive aspect is the high-quality sound. I have a large collection of headphones, each of which has a unique design and sound. But I won't make that comparison. In a vacuum, I can say that the degree of detail, clarity, transparency, and stereo panorama for daily listening is simply fantastic on these, and that they are capable of competing with a wide variety of wired ones. The advantages do not continue beyond this point, much to my disappointment.
Cons
  • 1. The connection of both headphones to one another is the primary and most significant disadvantage of the product. It is important to move the headphones between themselves approximately two to three centimeters further than the usual head in order for the slave earphone to stop playing instantly. It would appear that I have no use for it at all; why is that? But to illustrate this point, let's say that my wife and I are traveling by flight and have decided to watch a movie. I hand my wife one of my earphones, and as a result, the person who is wearing the slave earphone is unable to hear anything. 2. The quality of the case is extremely low; it is made of low-cost plastic with a pleasant touch, and it has uncomfortable buttons and a flimsy top. Because there are no natural cases for this case, you will need to hunt for a BU example on eBay after the collapse has occurred. 3. Establish a connection with an iPhone in the past. 4. The application did not appeal to me in any way. When I want to listen to music through my headphones, I don't want to have to access the app. 5. The standard AirPods are superior in every way except for the sound quality.

Terrible product, not happy with the purchase!

Even though every precaution was taken during the process, the casing has worn down to this state after four months of typical use. Well, it doesn't look like 500 bucks at all. Because the paint is so watery and thin, it scrapes and rubs off literally from the air itself. The connection is consistently lost, and in the course of an hour, the headphones can detach themselves from the device on their own anywhere from five to six times; this phenomenon occurs with a variety of devices (different

Pros
  • Superb sound quality that is far better than that of AirPods and similar products. Possibly each and every one of the benefits.
Cons
  • Poor body and paint quality both throughout. A terrible connection with the bluetooth. A battery of terrible quality, with a maximum capacity of three to four hours. Touch key that is inconvenient to use and only occasionally functions properly.

Bowers & Wilkins goes well with the in-ear headphones

Compared to Sony m4 and Airpod headphones, these headphones sound much better, but they lack features and this is the only reason to give them up and to wait for the next generation. 9/10 Mid - 8.5/10 Bass - 8.5/10 Battery Life - 5/10 App Equalizer - 0/10 Possibly the best sounding headphones out there, defeated by the lack of features and battery life.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Quality

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice sound and comfort, worth a little learning.

They sound great and are easy to use once I get the hang of them. With no switches, volume controls, or other adjustment controls, it took me a few tries to figure out the control buttons on the headphones. Today I accidentally turned off my Bluetooth mouse and turned it back on almost immediately. At that point I lost the Bluetooth connection with the headphones and the computer played the music I had paused in Spotify. I had to go into the Bluetooth system settings to turn the headphones back

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Not sure

Serious problems with iPhone app

Seems you need to download the B&W app to connect PI5 headphones to iPhone. You cannot connect/add headphones manually via Bluetooth function in iPhone settings. When using the app, it is very difficult to pair the headphones for the first time. After an hour of trying with case door open/closed, headphones in case, out of case, in ears etc. Successfully connected once. The music quality was good. Unfortunately, my nod to the music turned off Bluetooth. Frustrated, I decided not to test the…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Long time

Nice b/w! Fits headphones

B&W did a great job on these headphones, they are very light and comfortable and don't fall out of my ears like other headphones. I don't like it, but that's exactly the case. The sound quality was a bit muted at first which made me doubt they were worth it but I've been wearing them for 3 days in a row with no issues and now they sound better, very balanced. (Sometimes I forget I'm wearing headphones and think I'm wearing headphones, great headphone soundstage) I didn't find the noise…

  • Free for educational purposes
Cons

For me personally the best true wireless earphones so far.

I've been looking for the perfect true wireless headphones for a number of years. Many tested or owned including Jabra, Bose, Apple, B&O, Klipsh, Jaybird; I think this B&W PI5 is the closest thing to a perfect set. I am currently using the Klipsh T5 II and so far these have been the best headphones for my needs. What I expect from a headset and what the B&W PI5 can do. Tone - 10/10. Great sound, powerful bass, clear treble, although there is no equalizer in the application, the sound does not…

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
