Major sound of bright packaging

The British from Bowers & Wilkins approach each of their creations with special pedantry, carefully considering all the details. That is why the brand's products have the highest ratings from both avid audiophiles and ordinary users. The B&W P3 model was able to conquer the consumer not only with sound quality, but also with design finds.

Bright colours in a compact body

In a compact and bright case with cups no larger than a matchbox, the company's engineers were able to fit good sound that is not inferior to massive models. The device's low weight of 130g also emphasizes portability, while the rigid operation of the extendable bars and rugged metal construction promise long-lasting performance even after long and strenuous use. The company also abandoned the discrete ratchet in favor of a dynamic design based on the principle of hydraulics. This is both good and bad at the same time, since on the one hand you can more accurately adjust the size to suit you, but on the other hand, you will have to do it all over again.

The rim and the front part of the speakers are made of a special polymer material, which does not leave marks and scuffs. The model is presented in four colours: white, black, red and blue, by the way, statistics show that in the last colour, the headphones scattered the most.

Cords for all occasions

The kit includes two cables at once, connecting to 2.5-inch ports hidden behind the pads of the cups. The first cable is equipped with a remote control and is designed to pair with Apple devices, and the second is a standard cable with a mini-Jack plug (3.5 mm) for any other devices. It is noteworthy that, unlike many other headphones with a remote control for Apple technology, the model will not distort the sound and be capricious with modern representatives of the Android industry. Still, there are issues with the cords — they are thin, and this can lead to rapid wear or tear.

All music just for you

Before writing about the sound of headphones with a kondakar letter, it must be said that the first impression is sometimes deceptive. Very often, users complain that a newly unpacked device is seriously upsetting, as it produces a flat and very mediocre sound quality. This happens because a temperature drop or a long journey of an untouched gadget in the cold adversely affects the membranes of the headphones and the device as a whole, so it makes sense to let the headphones play out a bit.

The sound is very balanced and weighted. This is especially noticeable in instrumental music. The rhythm of the band is clearly heard in the rock composition: the cymbals do not creak, and the bass guitar complements the composition with a soft and enveloping timbre. Electronic and pop music also plays well, the vocal parts are not crushed and without distortion. The headphone volume is not at all terrible, at maximum volume the low frequencies do not buzz and do not collapse, and the top remains in an acceptable amplitude for perception.
