FIRST-CLASS PHONES: Bowers and Wilkins P3

    The silver detailing, the oblong earcups with neatly rounded edges and the pleasingly smooth adjustable headband; everything about these exudes class. Sound quality doesn't disappoint — we reckon it's crisper than B&W's pricier P5 cans. The use of lightweight fabric rather than leather on the foldable earcups means they're also more breathable so you don't end up with sweaty ears, though they do grip in a slightly vice-like manner.
    At 170 notes these are less ideal for hostels and backpacking, but there's no doubt the P3s offer proper, five-star entertainment.

Lightweight and stylish, super sounding. We love 'em.
