The sense of hearing is one that should be frequently indulged: nothing beats the emotions evoked from rocking out to an amazing live concert or listening to a familiar childhood tune after many years. As such, the gift of a quality listening experience should not be undervalued.

This was precisely John Bowers’ mission when he set out to pursue the idea of “true sound” half a century ago. The audio pioneer first gained his interest in designing loudspeakers out of a passion for music: an avid classical fan, he was dissatisfied in the sound reproduction offered by the premier equipment of his time. He began crafting speakers inside the garage behind his radio and television equipment shop, paving the way for Bowers & Wilkins, a global leader in the world of audio equipment.

As the brand celebrates its hallmark 50th anniversary, music lovers (like Bowers) are in for a big treat. The label has introduced the P9 Signature Headphones, its finest model yet. The outstanding quality of the product is evident on first sight and feel: Made with Italian Saffiano leather, a special “stamping” technique is used to create the luxurious cross-hatch texture. The aluminium arms make for a flexible fit and higher durability. What’s even more impressive is the top-of-the-line sound quality: the transducer is strategically placed to create a natural listening experience, resulting in a stereo-quality level of clarity and depth. The forward-thinking design also includes a headband decoupled from earbuds, to ensure minimum sound disturbances and distortions from unwanted vibrations.

The sleek and portable P9 headphones is a great gifting option for those on-the-go, but for those passionate about the sound systems in their own home, the 800 D3 Loudspeaker is the unequivocal choice for a present that will inspire genuine delight. The best-performing speaker in the Bowers & Wilkins product portfolio, this model represents the nirvana of reference quality sound. Made in a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in West Sussex, the product features two 10-inch Aerofoil bass drivers optimized for linearity and low distortion. Retaining the Continuum cone, Turbine head and solid-body tweeter of the 802 D3, the design enables the loudspeakers to render a full-size symphony orchestra — as if you were sitting right in the middle of a concert hall.

The key characteristics of the 800 D3 that sets its apart from its predecessors are the acoustic effortlessness and accuracy. The bass output is incredibly precise, with a low frequency drive unit distortion less than 10dB. Such intricate constructions have propelled this flagship product as the top choice for recording professions and audio lovers alike. This holiday seasons, give the unique experience of an out-of-this-world sound quality — whether through playing a titillating jazz soundtrack or a classical CD — with the exceptional headphones and loudspeakers from Bowers & Wilkins.
