Bowers & Wilkins Bows $899 Flagship Headphones for 50th Anniversary

Bowers & Wilkins unveiled Tuesday the P9 Signature headphone to commemorate its 50th anniversary. The $899 flagship headphones are made from Italian Saffiano leather, and the memory foam cushions mold to the shape of the user’s head over time for comfort and to create an acoustic seal, said the company. All components in the P9s were custom-designed, said B&W. The P9 Signature comes with cables for use with home audio gear and with portable devices. An additional Lightning cable, in development, will be available free early next year to users who register their headphones at www.bowers-wilkins.com, said the company.
