The sound is like an inexpensive entry level pair of B&W speakers. Forward midrange with little to no high frequency details and little to no sub bass. These are very colored headphones. Perhaps even more than the P5. It's not a bad thing because it's easy for the average music listener to like which they are the targeted audience. The ear pads do need a little adjustments to fit nicely on the ear. I like a little more clamping force, but it's not really an issue. The leather on the P5 is A LOT nicer than this plastic material. In terms of build quality, the P5 wins. I love the way it looks so I'm gonna keep them in my collection.

Thanks for starting this thread; lovely pics.
I'm looking forward to whatever review you can give us after you have had these for a few days or more. They look superb, and B&W has a terrific reputation in the field.
