Bowers & Wilkins has seriously been ramping up its consumer audio game in the past few years – notably, with products like its Zeppelin speaker systems for iDevices and its MM-1 desktop speakers. While speakers seem like an obvious choice for a company famous for HiFi systems, you probably wouldn’t have thought of B&W for your next set of iPhone-compatible headphones – that is, until its $300 P5 mobile HiFi supra-aural 'phones released last year. This year, the company has taken a second step into the game with its C5 in-ear headset.
Priced at $180, they’re a possible contender for those who’d prefer earbuds to on-ears, or maybe want some B&W headgear at a less expensive price point. We’ve grown fond of our leather-clad P5s for chit-chatting on the phone and rocking out during the commute, so we were curious to see, hear, and feel what the C5s could bring to the table. Luckily, B&W dropped off a pair of the in-ears on our doorstep, and we got to give them a healthy amount of use while commuting in and out of NYC to find out if they’d also win us over. It’s all detailed just past the break. Gallery: Bowers & Wilkins C5 in-ear headset review
