How does the sound compare to B&W P7s?

I don't own P7 but loan from a friend who does. I will say that P7 is a Different can compare to this. Beyer is more open as it is a open design but P7 will have more define mids n low

Dt880 is more open with better clarity, air and separation. P7 is more intimate and more bassy and is smoother in the highs.

Over all music quality is better with bw7'sBeats is just loud and annoying you would be happier with bw7's, but remember they are horrible on a plane but so are beats! Hope this helps!

There's actually a difference. The treble around 10k Hz was reworked to not be so piercing, and the low bass got some work as well. Nothing major, but as far as sound goes, there are tiny changes based on previous feedback by customers.

If you have the extra $200 bucks to spare for the SVS give it a shot, try it out, they have a customer satisfaction trial return window if it doesn't feel right to you return it. I have not heard the SVS pb so I can't compare. I have an SVS tube with amp. It is quality sound but not too room filling. I added this Klipsch 12 HG and wow what a difference. Hands down it has more room filling bass for my movies. You can spend a lot of money for promised quality or you can spend the right amount for the delivered quality your looking for. I started with one SVS sub and over time have gone for two subs (Klipsch 12HG) and that is an awesome set up. FYI- I have two Klipsch subs in my game room also, for the price, it's a great deal. Enjoy!

Everyone has their preference, mine is the Bose, next person may prefer B&W. Visit a Big Box Store and compare both.

Hi Ana, I have them both and the XL7s have the richer sound in my opinion. The XLBP have great sound, I use 2 pairs for my side surround and rear surrounds. They sound great together with an equal tonal balance. Hope that helps. Charlie

The 12s are great. I use them for outside parties and you can hear them at least a couple of blocks away. I am living on Spain right now, so noise laws are really loose if you invite the neighbourghs. I got these speakers for the reasons you mention "Old School" Sound. And they have not disappointed me at all. They are amazing. I cannot tell you how the 15s sound, but the 12s are worth every penny.

I was using the maverick audio A1 not sold here on Amazon. Drove them very smoothly with little to no distortion at higher volumes. But yes I've heard good things about the N22 as well. Just a suggestion, if you are in the market for small bookshelves, check out the Cambridge audio S30s. I traded my P4s in for them and haven't looked back. Larger midrange cone and overall more efficient speakers for a similar price.Take care!

Overall, JBL produces high-quality speakers and some of them sound exceptional. For the astronomical price of $999 I am sure you cannot go wrong with this speaker. The JBL is capable of producing better sound from lower quality music. The B&W; will produce amazing music but only from amazing records. I am not sure you could compare these two models as apples-apples as they differ significantly in price and dimensions. You are getting an audiophile-quality system in any you choose. The B&W; is loud enough to fill a small room but a medium room will be filled more adequately with a JBL.

I have both. The 280s do sound a lot better and clearer. The 280s are big and aren't going to be good for exercise or active wear. The px-100s are great for the gym. I use the 280's at work, they sound better and block out a lot of noise. The px-100s are for working out. They are light, comfortable and sound great as well.

P7 is better than beats pro in all freq. I owned both beats pro and P7. heavy bass is good on beats pro, and only heavy bass is good for beats pro. The detail and quality is much better for P7 than Beats. I hardly use beats now. And I'm considering to sell the beats on ebay.

Yes, I have compared the two. I returned the Fluance SX6's, and kept the Pioneer BS22's. The Fluance's were very dynamic, and sounded great playing trance or other electronic music, but the Pioneers have a warmer mellower sound that I really like for the long haul.

Honestly, I can not compare as I have not tried the other. Obviously, it has lots more power. As a previous audiophile, I can tell you that although "sound bars" are convenient they do not compare with real amplifiers and reals speakers. I can tell you I am happy with the sound, and the digital input works well with my 60 inch 1080p 3D TV. My only complaint is when you use digital input you have to use the rinky dink remote that came with the sound bar to control the volume. My advise is don't skimp on sound it is just as important as the picture when it comes to watching movies. Honestly, I can not compare as I have not tried the other.

No, I don't think sound quality was any different, and the 7w had a loud, annoying fan that ran all the time. I sent mine back. -- R Carlson MD

I used to sell audiophile-grade equipment. I admire both B&W and NAD as fine quality mid-grade equipment. In looking for $300 headphones, I came across both the PC50's and the P7's, and tried out both, along with Bose 15's (my initial impetus was stumbling across these while on a plane and finding the noise cancellation really great, much as I really dislike Bose sound). I generally am skeptical of companies' first attempts at a new product (as are both NAD's and B&W's for headphones),. so I also tried out Sennheiser Momentums, having liked Sennheisers in the past and being satisfied with their long-term reputation in doing headphones. When I say "tried out", I mean I bought them all and took them home for a week. The bottom line: to my ear, the NAD's win hands down. The B&W's are built well, but MAN are they boomy -- almost unlistenable to me. I can't believe it, but I actually came out liking the Boses better, of all things (and they're great to have on a plane, which I tried out as well -- along with the B&W's, the isolation characteristics of which were decent at best). The Sennheisers are the only ones that even come close, and they're not nearly as "neutral". The NAD's just plain disappear, and I say this for a variety of music types (hard rock, classical, folk...). The bass is remarkably tight for a set of closed-ear headphones; the upper mids aren't overly bright, while the very high end is clear as a bell -- and the resolution overall is wonderful. The NAD's are incredibly comfortable, too. My two cents.

My son just bought the Audio-Technica ATHM50RD, and I give the Audio-Technica the edge sonically. It is more spacious sounding, and I find it to be more detailed. Of course the B&W; is much more beautifully built and looks far superior. But for the sounds and comfort I definitely prefer the Audio-Technica.

The sound compares to my B&W Matrix 800 which cost me 18,000 a pair........of course it won't be as loud ,but the quality is as good as you can get at this price.
