From my experience with B&W products, they're exceptional. 

Sound quality is excellent.

 

Just looking at some reviews of the P5 Series 2, seems they're really good.

Thy are probably good.

They are definatly overpriced (thats just looking at sound quality, if you look at build and finish they probably are better)

They are a luxury product, so not the best bang/buck

Check out the PSB M4U headphones too. They suit most people and are very well received.

They get good reviews, so don't worry about alternatives too much. Another option I would like to point out, however, is the Kef M500.

They have non noise cancelling models. They come in two variants, active noise cancelling and conventional (type 2 and type 1 respectively).
