blessingx Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Just a preview, but... iPod & MP3 Headphones | Noise Cancelling Head phones - Bowers & Wilkins. Not so sure about those pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 ... Not so sure about those pads. That is kind of weird. I wonder why they went that route instead of just using sonically transparent fabric? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojnihs Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I like B&W speakers, but I'm not a fan of the way those headphones look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwood Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'd be surprised if those don't suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Bah..if those headphones sound anything like their speakers..i'd stay the hell away from them Hahahaha, well, not all their speakers suck, but for the price, you can do better Regarding the phones, I can't say looking at that. Maybe they sound good, but I fear they're going to be expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwood Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'd be surprised if they suck B&W makes good (but overpriced) stuff I'd also be surprised if B&W made them. I'm guessing they're putting their name on an OEM. In any case, the mere inclusion of noise cancelling means, to me, that these shouldn't be treated as headphones in their own right, but as branded companion pieces to their speakers for well-heeled connoisseurs to wear while not in their mahogany libraries. Not to be overly stereotypical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be overly stereotypical. My library uses Madgascar Ebony. Bully on you, I say But yeah, I'd be surpirsed if they built them, too. And I think the pads are indeed very odd.

Dusty Chalk Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 You know, that's a damn good point -- they call them noise cancelling, but then they go and say this under "isolation":For those who don’t need full noise cancelling headphones, it’s perfect for listening to music on the go.So I'm thinking, "not".

darthsilverice Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Looks like its got some bling to it so I'll second that its probably going to be quite pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Expensive? You bet! Good? I hope so. There have been too many companies willing to use their name to sell crappy rebadged gear. Only time will tell. Either way, I'm way too cheap to be 1st in line for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavitsk Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 They look a little like the headphones used for hearing tests when I was in elementary school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cankin Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I am surprised that they copied the look of DT48, but if it sounds as good as their speakers, I'd like to try one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manaox2 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 They look a little like the headphones used for hearing tests when I was in elementary school. Mine were blue and white with blue hollow rubber pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeggy Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I suspect, aside from the narrow headband they'll be quite comfy. No idea how they might sound. I like flat pads on supras as long as it's not uncovered foam, that just gets itchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
