Bowers & Wilkins Launches Second-Generation P3 Headphones

Bowers & Wilkins refreshed its P3 headphones with the Series 2, due at retail Sept. 15. The headphones have a lightweight frame and folding mechanism for easy storage in a coat pocket, said the company. The damping system in the headphones’ drive unit controls diaphragm movement to deliver precise sound with extended bass, it said. The P3 Series 2 ($149) comes with a remote/microphone accessory for iPhone and a universal cable for other smartphones and MP3 players.
