Being a tech junkie and audiophile, I have bought and returned many a headphone. The B&W P7 I will keep. The sound is true to the recordings. The clarity of vocals is great and the balance of highs and lows lets you hear what the recording artist intended. Too many headphones these days are targeted at kids with thump thump thump bass to an extreme. The P7 has a nice bass but not at the expense of the rest of the sound spectrum.
With high quality recordings these sound great. have been listening mostly to rock--U2, Midnight Oil, AC/DC. Short Skirt/Long Jacket is amazing on these headphones. For Dropkick Murphy fans try Rose Tattoo on these headphones and see how many instruments you can count.
Yes, these are pricey and not for everyone. But if you enjoy balanced sound, clarity and headphones built to last, buy the P7.

Magnolia brand for a reason

Music has never sounded so good. Playing FLAC files is where it's at nowadays. I do not recommend listening to music streamed from the Internet with these on, because you will pick up on all the flaws of the poorer quality audio. I threw every genre of music at these headphones, and have no complaints (ambient to pure noise metal). I am now an official fan of Bowers and Wilkins and will not have it any other way.

streaming with p7

I agree with you that listening to poor quality recordings with the P7 can really show the flaws. But I decided to try the new BeatsMusic app with the P7 and was surprised with the quality, much better than some other streaming services.
