C5

Bowers & Wilkins, well known by music lovers and audiophiles alike for their high-end speakers, just announced the C5 in-ear, noise-isolating headphones. Not for your average consumer, the C5 headphones are for those who want nothing but the best when it comes to performance.

Featuring a Secure Loop design, the C5 headphones comfortably stay in place while delivering the natural, realistic sound Bowers & Wilkins is known for. This "wonderfully open" sound is thanks to the proprietary Micro Porous Filter which acts as a diffuser to deliver better quality audio.

To aid in noise isolation, the headphones have a Tungsten Balanced design, where weighted material is placed closer to the ear for an improved seal. The end result? Better sound, fit and noise isolation.

Additional features of the Bowers & Wilkins C5 headphones include a remote/microphone for iOS devices. They will ship in August for $179.95 and come with a quilted pouch for storage.
