The B&Ws C5 don't quite live up to its predecessor (the P5s) but they still impress me. The secure loop is effective if you can find a proper fit and the mic is clear. The overall build of the headphones is solid. My only real gripe is that the paint chips really easily.

The B&Ws sound great! That being said, they're not perfect by any means. I found myself feeling like the bass was a bit too boomy for what I'm used to from Bowers and Wilkins but I love them none the less. Also, the highs were pretty sharp so I wasn't a fan of that. Still, they're the best pair of in ear buds I've ever owned and I'd buy them again

So for the price do you really think they are worth it sound quality wise? Are they comfortable to use for long periods of time like for running? Thanks for the review by the way good job keep it up. I still have my bose quiet comfort3 some in ear plantronics and a lot of uncomfortable apple headphones. So yeah I need new stuff.

@pepsiman43 mmm I guess in all honesty I'd price these at 150$ but I do love them. And, compared to the Beats Tours (189.95$), the p5s are much, much better. They're very comfortable for extended use. I've used these for hours and they don't get uncomfortable. I'd definitely recommend these for new, in ear headphones. Well worth it!

nice to see u doing reviews. hope to see more. Just got the ath-m50's, have u tried them?

[lilbearsfan023]

@Gabester64 No but I've heard of them! What do you think of them? 

[lgratian]

@lilbearsfan023 You should really try some audiophile headphones like the Sennheiser HD650, AKG K701 and Sennheiser HD 25-1 II. They can be found on Ebay for less than the BW P5 and are completely in another category; and very comfortable too. innerfidelity (google it) have some nice reviews and comparisons, you should check it out.

@lgratian Oh, awesome! I'll be sure to check it out, thanks!
