Finest materials

The high performance of P5 doesn’t end with its acoustics and ergonomics. The quality of its materials plays an important part in terms of both acoustic performance and the user experience. The rigid metal faceplate and leather ear pads for example, not only suppress external noise but also help P5 to be surprisingly light, and very comfortable. The ear pads and headband are crafted from incredibly soft sheep’s leather, which ensures longer listening sessions are a real pleasure.

Made for iPhone

Designed for living

Headphones are products we come to rely on in our everyday lives. If they are uncomfortable, or don’t do justice to our favourite music, or are too delicate to keep up with the rigours of the day, they’ve failed us. The P5 however is always ready to perform when you need your music, always comfortable, and always durable enough to stay with you on any journey. The P5 is designed for living with as well as making music.
