Bowers & Wilkins P3 headphones now available in blue

Bowers & Wilkins nifty P3 headphones get a fresh lick of paint, available now in a blue shade alongside the existing black and white sets.

Lauded for their foldaway design and sonic excellence, the blue P3s change little of what made their predecessors so great aside from the colour scheme.

Built from aluminium and durable rubber, each P3 pair come with a hard-shell carry case, and a choice a of cables; one with an inline remote/microphone attachment for iPhones, another that’s a simple headphone cable for guaranteed compatibility with other smartphones or MP3 players.

The change then is purely an aesthetic one, and one that’s seemingly largely in response to the monumental growth of the rival Monster headphone brand, whose very visible branding and red colour schemes have done well to win over the youth market.

In stores now, the blue Bowers & Wilkins P3 headphones are priced at £169.99, the same as the other shades in the range.
