B&W C5 In-Ear Headphones 4.6 5 16 16
Truly excellent headphones Wanted to replace my lost Senheisers which were good but having read the reviews from music experts decided to spend even more and go for these. The sound is exceptional to my untrained ear. And the fit is excellent with just the phones in my ear - I can't work out how to fit the loop so will have to call B&W - I probably look odd on the train but ho hum...Emeli Sande was singing to me on the way to work this morning and the phones are so well fitting that I didn't hear the ticket inspector coming! Amazing, you won't be disappointed 23 April 2013
Excellent Quality and Sound I bought these for my husband this Christmas and he is incredibly pleased with the sound quality. They are really adjutable and he says they are a brilliant fit. The advertising suggests that it is like having a personal concert - it has certainly provided that for him. 03 January 2013
Excellent value for money B&W have priced these very competitively and are better value than the more expensive P5.They are definitely of audiophile class. There's nothing else at the price point that can match it in the IEM market at the moment. They give a very nuetral and detailed sound and the bass is strong without overpowering the mid and trebles. Unless you're lucky these are not turn-key, straight out of the box phones. They require some burning in but more importantly you have to invest some time in getting the right fit, by experimenting with the different sized buds and the secure-loop thing. If the sound is weak and tinny, you haven't got it right so keep working on it, Only issue is I'm not convinced these are as comfortable as B&W claim - the secure loop can be a bit grating and creates the need for a bit of technique when inserting into the ear. I'm hoping I'll get used to that. Overall though, really pleased that B&W have now made IEMs that rival their excellent speakers for quality and value. 16 April 2012
Great Earphones.not so great pouch Having viewed many reviews of this product i made the decision to buy these brilliant earphones.They sound really good providing you alter your EQ settings.They do actually fit snug into my ears straight from the box.They cut outside noise very well .The down side is the pouch ,it's too small.the phones do not fit very well in there unless you take time to find a way of fitting them in which is a pain.i resorted to putting them in an alternative pouch . I definately recommend these earphones,a must buy !!! 19 March 2012
At last in-ear headphones that stay in! The most disappointing thing for me with Apple products are the headphones, but I've now found the perfect replacement to their standard offering. Undoubtedly, the best in-ear headphones I've ever used and surprisingly comfortable and still haven't fallen out! 19 February 2012
Excellent service and headphones. John Lewis is certainly the benchmark that others should be hoping to achieve. I reserved the headphones by telephone and every member of staff that I came into contact with were professional and knowledgeable and should be congratulated. As for the headphones, I must admit I was sceptical that the secure loop would be practical and comfortable. How wrong could I be. Comfort is very good and they certainly feel very secure when in position.I have bought the headphones to replace a set of Bang & Olufsen headphones. Which have been very good but are a touch dated now. Sound quality is absolutely superb and I would recommend without reservation. I can't wait to listen to my library again with fresh ears. 02 February 2012
Awesome In-ear These are really comfortable in-ears, looks classy and feels very solid. I have tried many higher end in-ears but the C5 keeps pace with them, it may be a bit bassy for some but again with the right EQ these really shine. Definitely worth what I paid for them, 24 November 2011
Earphones that stay in your ears I really like these. Pretty much the only thing I'm not crazy about is the noise transfer when the (pretty much tangle-free) cable rubs against something. But their portability (I bought them for travelling) and great sound make up for that. I am told that they don't leak noise at all, even in a quiet room, so they would be fine for public places. They are the only in-ear earphones that I've been able to keep IN my ears, no matter what I am doing! 23 November 2011
