I've no experience with these headphones, but buying Bowers & Wilkins speakers/headphones is like buying a Mercedes car: it's pretty much a given that a high level of quality will be met. Furthermore, as you say, they've been very well reviewed by journalists and customers alike.

Saying that, I did buy a pair of B&W 805 speakers (very expensive and very celebrated) and they sounded awful in my system. But I still feel the P5 headphones will be good as headphones are nowhere near as fussy as speakers with regards to amplification.
