No, this is not yet available in the location where I live.  But I find this is already available in UK online Apple Store at GBP250.  It has received very good comments based on online reviews.

I am very tempted! Been considering buying a pair of high-end headphones for a while and the reviews I have seem so far are very complimentary. Trouble is I have the self-knowledge to know I would end up spending a fortune on a dedicated amp to go with them making it quite an investment overall!

I just asked B&W to send me a test set... They replied that there is a few people on the waiting list, but I should receive the P5 soon. I will tell you when I got (and try) it!

I came across these a few months ago I think. I checked all my local B&W dealers, nobody had them. But all spoke well of the P5.

Sorry Puncher, I think they look terrible, but yes, retro for sure.

Oooo. Me like 70s retro styling :D

Why don't B&O knock out some 'new' U70s a la the 'new' Beetle or 'new' Mini?

How about an entire "Classic Series"?

No software, no BS... just plug and play!

Would sell like hotcakes! IMHO, of course!

Do you think it would be received in a similar way? Apart from the B&O aficianado?

I think that it would sell really well... but only among Beoworlders, who represents a small niche of B&O customers...
