C5 specifications

The Bowers & Wilkins C5 is a remarkable in-ear headphone that seamlessly combines advanced technology with exceptional design. Launched with the intent to elevate the portable audio experience, the C5 stands out in a crowded market thanks to its high-performance audio output and ergonomic design.

One of the main features of the C5 is its innovative and effective Secure Loop design. This unique feature ensures that the headphones stay comfortably in place, even during vigorous activities. The adjustable loop is made from soft silicone, which allows for a customizable fit, providing both stability and comfort for extended listening sessions. This makes the C5 an ideal choice for users who lead active lifestyles or simply want reliable headphones that won’t easily fall out.

The C5’s audio performance is another standout characteristic. Bowers & Wilkins has integrated advanced speaker technology, allowing these in-ear headphones to deliver a rich, detailed sound.
