What's wrong with their speakers? I've heard 685, 683, 804s and 802d and they're quite nice.

They've got some rather spiffy new desktop speakers, too. Active biamped, with onboard USB DAC and headphone out to run cans off them. $5 says they sell these in the Apple Store.

I'll take that $5 -- not white enough.

And yes, I see that that's a Macbook they're running off of -- I still say that's not in the Apple store.

I wonder what the usb dac chip will be

that's a weird way to do it.

yeah, these headphones are pissing me off for a reason I can't rationally explain.

I like their look & cable entry design. Overall, seems quite logical.

Of course, they'll need a re-cable to sound their best. Maybe some new pads as well.

doesn't look that bad though..kinda look like the new JVCs.

How is ALO supposed to cram 19 strands of 14awg flesh-toned goodness into there?

Jena Labs will find a way to fit this in there:

But Patrick82 will figure out how to put this in there, so he wins.

ROFLMAO!!

I mean, you can recable it the Mikhail way where you leave the original wires in the cup and then splice the huge jena cable on it

Goddamn if the N64 hat doesn't just sell the whole thing. I love Patrick.

Hahahaha!

I'd be interested to see if anybody has anything good to say about these. Quite a few people entering the headphone industry lately.

I want an N64 hat. I love the N64.

I would like to hear them.

A sensible comment if ever there could be one in a thread like this.

Today is my unbirthday. I'd like to hear them too.

Those headphones look really cheesy on the B & W site.

...they’re the ultimate mp3 headphones, giving you the same incredible, lifelike sound quality...

Something about this statement makes me unhappy. Promo material aside though, I'd like to try them.

Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) P5 Mobile Hi-Fi Headphones Headphone Review | Macworld

Pretty decently-written review. I'd be interested in how much they leak.

We had a local dealer demo the new 802 Diamond speakers. Horrible sounding. Never have liked the B&W.
