Welcome to Bowers & Wilkins and P5 Series 2 Headphones
Thank you for choosing Bowers & Wilkins.

His belief is one that we continue to share and it inspires every product we design.

2. Using your P5 Series 2 Headphones
Using your headphones correctly will help ensure that their performance reaches its full potential. First, identify the loft and right ear pieces. Identification legends are engraved on the metal hinge below the headband.
This is illustrated in Diagram 1.
Now unfold the headphones and slide them on to your head with the headband adjusted so that each earpiece sits comfortably over the ear.
This is illustrated in Diagram 2.
It is recommended that you fold and return your headphones to their pouch when not in use.

3. Connecting your headphones
Your P5 Series 2 Headphones can be connected to any audio device with a 3.5mm jack headphone output. The remote and mic cable fitted to P5 Series 2 Headphones incorporates an iPhone *, iPod * and iPad® compatible microphone and audio control. Its use is described in the following section of this manual.
If using your P5 Series 2 Headphones with anything other than an Apple ^® device the remote and mic cable functionality may vary. If performance is affected the supplied universal cable can be substituted. Detaching the remote and mic cable and fitting the universal cable is described below and illustrated in diagram 3.
- Unfold the headphones and remove the left earpad by gently pulling it away from the body of the earpiece. Removing the left earpad reveals the cable connection plug and socket.
• Gently grasp the cable just below the earpiece and lift upwards. The connection plug and socket will raise up. - Now gently grasp the connection plug and pull it out of the socket.
- With the remote and mic cable now disconnected, take the universal cable and identify the 2.5mm connection plug.
- Insert the 2.5mm (angled) connection plug into the left earpiece socket and press the connection plug moulding into its routing channel.
- Replace the left earpad. Make sure that the earpad location pins and sockets engage accurately.
4. Using your P5 Series 2 Headphones with iPhone, iPad and iPod
Your P5 Series 2 Headphones incorporate a combined microphone and audio control, integrated within the remote and mic cable, that enables you to make or answer calls while wearing the headphones. The control also enables you to play, pause and skip songs. The microphone and control is illustrated in diagram 4
The control incorporates three click switches, one in the middle and one at either end, and operates as follows:
- Click the end switch engraved "+" to increase phone or song volume.
- Click the end switch engraved “—” to decrease phone or song volume.
- Click the middle switch once to answer a call.
- Click the middle switch once to end a call.
- Click the middle switch once to play or pause a song
- Click the middle switch twice to skip to the next song.
- Click the middle switch three times to skip to the previous song.
