B&W P5 headphones
Discussion
I love mine. I have had them almost a year and they sound fantastic given that I only listen to my iPhone (mixture of lossless and 320Kb MP3) through them.
My main reason for buying them was that I wanted to move away from the IEM-type earphones, and these were about the only ones I didn't feel too embarrassed about wearing when out and about.
However, £250 does buy some serious headphones from other manufacturers. If you are looking to use a decent source for home listening, you could do a lot better than the P5s for the money. If, like me, you will be using them on the move they are ideal.

I love my P5's though have only really used em on holiday as i dont listen to too much stuff in the house.
The leather on the earpieces is so soft and comfy for long usage (although felt a little tight when i first bought them it seems to have loosened up nicely) and to be honest i didnt find wearing the set too hot (in hot countries) as per some review's i'd read..
Decent headphones for on the move (and also have a classy look to them) they are bang on, if you are listening to alot of music in the home though im sure there will be headsets out there (bigger drivers etc) that do a better job but the P5's with your iphone/generic mp3 player are great.
i have had to ditch a couple albums though from my iphone as they were recorded in a lower quality, i'd genuinely never noticed it before with other headsets but as soon as i listened to them with the P5's i had to stop the track and move on
