B&W C5

C5 noise-isolating in-ear headphones bring you amazingly natural acoustics and fit so comfortably and securely you’ll hardly be aware you’re wearing them.

Whatever we make, the goal is the same: the most natural, realistic sound possible. With C5, you can take true sound with you wherever you go. C5 is a mixture of long-held acoustic principles and technological advances, key among which is the Micro Porous Filter. This acts as a diffuser, enabling C5 to deliver pristine, natural audio, while also providing a more spacious performance than previously possible from in-ear headphones. Together with C5’s noise-isolating design, this allows users to lose themselves in flawless audio.

If you want a spacious sound, you need room to breathe. Not a problem for a large speaker, but quite a challenge for a set of headphones small enough to fit in your ears. With C5 in-ear headphones, we got around the problem with our Micro Porous Filter. Hundreds of microscopic steel balls act as a sonic diffuser, opening up the sound and making music feel remarkably rich and expansive.

C5’s snug fit and stunningly realistic sound means you can forget the rest of the world and lose yourself in music. At the same time, these in-ear headphones let in just enough ambient noise to allow you to retain your sense of place. Perfect for listening to music when you’re out and about.

Comfort and quality of fit are vital elements in an in-ear headphone. C5 ensures both with the introduction of the proprietary Secure Loop design, an ingenious innovation where a cushioned loop fixes quickly and comfortably in the inner ridge of your ear. This, together with the tungsten balanced design, holds C5 in place for improved sound, and also makes it ideal for use on the move and during activities.

The new C5 noise-isolating headphones offer amazingly natural acoustics and fit so comfortably and securely you'll hardly be aware you're wearing them.  

Best in class performance
C5's unique Micro Porous Filter ensures the sound you hear is open, spacious and full of rich, lifelike detail. Meanwhile, C5's comfortable fit and hardwearing premium aluminium body means you can enjoy great sound on the go for longer.  The in-ear design also cuts down on external noise for an intimate listening experience, while also reducing sound leakage, ideal for use on the move.

Advanced Features
C5's feature an innovative Secure Loop design - cushioned loops that curl around the ear's inner rim to hold them in place. The loops are infinitely adjustable, so you always get the perfect fit. Or they can be detached, if you would rather use C5's without. C5's tungsten balanced design means they are weighted towards your ears, rather than away from them, for an improved fit, while also reducing external noise.

The cables have been carefully selected to remain tangle-free and provide hassle-free listening.

We are confident that C5 in-ear headphones set a new benchmark  in this category and will bring Bowers & Wilkins true sound experience to more consumers.
