Welcome to Bowers & Wilkins and PI5

Thank you for choosing Bowers & Wilkins. When John Bowers first established
our company, he did so in the belief that imaginative design, innovative
engineering and advanced technology were keys that could unlock the
enjoyment of audio in the home.

The Bowers & Wilkins PI5 are high performance in-ear headphones designed to
deliver the highest quality mobile personal audio experience combined with the
convenience of wireless operation and the serenity of noise-cancellation. This
manual will tell you everything you need to know to get the most from your PI5
headphones.

Your PI5 can play music streamed wirelessly from your mobile phone, tablet or
computer via Bluetooth. PI5 can also be used for wireless telephony.

PI5 Real World Listening features include our latest innovations in Adaptive Noise
Cancellation, Ambient Pass-Through and enhanced Wear Sensing technologies.
Our latest generation noise cancellation feature was designed from the ground
up with intelligent environment sensing capabilities, automatically selecting the
appropriate type of noise cancellation best suited to your surrounding
environment, its only goal is to deliver an uncompromised listening experience.
Ambient Pass-Through enables external sounds, such as conversation or safety
announcements, to be heard clearly without any need to remove the
headphones. The Wear Sensing feature enables PI5 to respond naturally,
pausing and resuming the music simply by lifting either earpiece on or off your
ear. These features can be enabled and further customised via the Bowers &
Wilkins Headphone App available for free on iOS and Android devices.

ENGLISH

PI5 incorporates a rechargeable battery pack. When fully charged, depending on
the degree of Bluetooth, Adaptive Noise Cancellation and Ambient Pass­Through use, the battery pack can provide up to 12 hours of continuous
wireless media streaming with noise cancellation enabled at average playback
volume levels.
