Solid headphone choice for all users!!
Amazing headphones with very crisp sound and solid ANC! I love the manual buttons which make them super easy to operate. Feels good on the head. No discomfort with hours of wear. These were a solid upgrade from the Bose NC 700.

Bridge to hi-fi music and acoustic bliss!
I enjoy all types of music, needless to say, that means I'm a difficult customer to please with just one headset. I have alot of headphones, wired, wireless, studio, consumer-grade etc. I understand it wouldn't be fair to pit this headphone against some of the consumer level headphones, but at this price point it's kind of in between mainstream consumer and audiophile level audio... and it hits it out of the park. When you receive the product, the case, the wires, the feel of the material, you already know you're in for something special. Most of the attention is obviously to the craft of the headphones. If you're shopping for this you already know the specifications - 24bit DSP processing, 40mm custom drivers, ergonomic comfortable fittings, active noise cancelling 6 microphones, you're spending this kind of money you already know all that. So the question is, how does it sound? Out of all my my consumer headphones, airpod max, bose qc45, bose 700, sony xm5, beats pro, etc. This is not even in the same level. Once you put it on it's definitely a class above. Which is insane because some of those headphones are in the same price range. The audio is very crisp, pin drop crisp. Stage profile is not unrealistically overwhelming and perfectly tight around your head. Feels appropriately tight infront of you. If you want to be technical the headset is listed as distortion <0.1% (1khz/10mw), which I have no way to test but I wouldn't doubt it at all. The mids/highs/dialogue/vocals feels very tight, very accurate, and noise/distortion free from wired but even from bluetooth/wireless. Things have come along way for wireless and with this headset, I feel comfortable listening to hi fi music without wires, it's that good. This headset is NOT for gamers. I did try a few video games both on console and on my phone, just to feel what it's like. The bass does not have the same 'thump' and impact as a dedicated gaming headset. It may not seem like a big deal, but I would not whole heartedly recommend this if you are using this headset for that purpose; I felt in my call of duty, elden ring sessions, the lightness of the bass/low end does not feel as immersive as my other gaming headsets that over-exagerrate the bass. This headset is for faithful reproduction, which it has in spades. The symphony/acoustic portions of elden ring, it does shine, but in battles and deep bass, it was not as engaging. Other nitpicks, i wish they included different cables. You get two cables, a USBC to 3.5mm stereo jack, a USBC to USBC. There was no lightning port (but this will be extinct soon any way) but it would've been nice to have a 6.5mm (1/4") or lightning cable as an option. Bottom line: this product is best for the enthusiast that is curious of hi fi audio. I'm not addicted and can't put this thing down and now itching to move up to the px8. It's a pricey entry, but one worthwhile. LOVE this thing.

Gorgeous design, gorgeous sound
The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e wireless over-the-ear headphones experience starts with a lovely, simple packaging. The unboxing experience is easy (thank you!) and so rewarding. My Ocean Blue headphones come in a matching fabric-wrapped semi-hardshell carrying case. Upon unzipping, you're presented with this elegant device and a magnetic repository that holds the USB-C to C charging cable and a USB-C to 3.mm (mini) stereo jack. I wish the stereo cable was a little longer, but hey, these ARE wireless via Bluetooth. The build quality is excellent, and the weight feels good in hand and on your head. I was able to wear them for over an hour with no discomfort. After that time, I fidgeted a little with the earpads. This will of course vary be the shape of your head and ears. Acoustic isolation with and without ANC turned-on is very good. With ANC on, I never heard any ambient nose. Perfect for offices and airplanes. Phone calls were heavenly. Great sound on my end, and never a complain from people on the other end of my calls. The 40mm drivers reproduce voices very well on calls as well as when listening to podcasts and music. My music taste is eclectic. I have some reference albums I tested via both an online music service on my phone and direct from phone. Synchronicity by the Police, Diana Krall's Live from Paris, STP's Plush (acoustic and original), Gregory Porter and Thus Sprach Zarathustra will test any audio equipment. The Px7 S2e performed well across the board. I occasionally had to just slightly tweak the treble and/or bass via the Bowers&Wilkins Music App (where you can also update software and adjust ANC). These reproduce music very closely to the way it was recorded. Exactly what a fine piece of equipment is supposed to do. Between the beauty of design and sound, I find myself looking for reasons to use the Bowers & Wilkins headphones as frequently as possible. Get these - for yourself or a friend!

Mid-Range Headphones Hitting Above Their Class!
Attempting to explain what these headphones are like is akin to trying to explain the smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies to someone who has never smelled them before. You must personally experience these headphones to understand what a literal sensual experience they are! Bowers and Wilkens have managed to deliver a set of headphones here that comes in at a lower price than some of the giants like Apple Airpods Max and deliver sound, comfort, noise cancellation, and battery life that are all parallel if not surpassing some of the higher-priced wireless headphones out there. The sound out of these headphones out of the box is incredible and surprisingly neutral in audio balance in comparison to the many headsets out there that attempt to drown out glaring audio imperfections by over-emphasizing bass tones. I did bump up the bass in the app a bit and was impressed by the thumping, visceral tones the drivers in this headset elicited. I tested Bass Head from Bassnectar and was astonished during some of the deeper bass drops that all the tones came through and even reverberated as they would with external audio equipment. If I wasn’t aware of these headphones on my head, I would have thought I was back in my high school car with dual 12” subwoofers enclosed in a ported enclosure in the trunk! The rest of the audio balance is incredible too. The driving rhythm track in the mid-range towards the beginning of Empress of the Damned by Gunship comes through in such a manner that it feels like it is pulsating in my throat and my chest with the tonal qualities. Vocal and instrumental music comes through unexpectedly balanced and detailed as well. Rylynn by Andy McKee stuns with the detail of his acoustic guitar playing, and Sea Shanty Medley by Home Free was giving me chills along the sides of my neck with the separation and detail of each of the singer’s vocal ranges. Finally, the Sound of Silence (Cover) by Disturbed almost had me choked up with just how precisely David Draiman’s voice was projected by these Px7 S2e 40mm drive units. That is one of my favorite covers of all time and this is one of the first headsets I have used in memory that truly gives justice to that song’s range and fullness. Altogether, I think this is a headset with audio characteristics that will satisfy all but the pickiest consumer and prosumer audiophiles. The looks and beauty of these headphones cannot be understated. This Ocean Blue set is positively sublime to visually experience in person. I am a fellow who conforms more towards matte black and white colored personal electronic devices, but these are a departure from that and manage to draw attention and praise to the looks while also not leaning too far in the direction of either feminine or masculine (for those that care about such things). Every texture, piece of plastic, and component of this headset feels and looks high quality, even down to the clickiness and perfect separation of the thoughtfully implemented and positioned physical buttons. They even added texture to the middle, multi-function button (pause, play, etc.) on the right ear cup so it is easy to get anchored at where your finger is at on the buttons. These buttons are big enough too that I think you could find and press them with ease even while wearing gloves! That is a nice benefit for us cold-weather commuters. I also find the position of the buttons to be somehow intuitive. Every time I bring my right index finger up to the rear of the headset, I am somehow getting to the right button I want every time. Real thought was put into the ergonomics design of this headset! If you are interested in wearing these headphones for daily commutes on public transportation or for study or work in noisy environments, you are in luck. The noise cancellation is, in my opinion, best in class in this price range. The earcups are comfortable, conforming, and manage to create a perfect seal around my ears which is a big component of the noise cancellation equation, plus the four ANC microphones (6 mics total including the 2 mics for communication) on this headset seem to be outstanding at keeping the outside low, mid, and high tones out of your audio experience. I am certain I could be consoling a crying baby in my arms while wearing these headphones and manage to cut out most all of that noise signature. When I compare these to my AirPods Pro 2 earbuds, which are best in class for earbud noise canceling, these headphones come out ahead in that metric. The ambient Pass-Through is also commendable and helpful for phone calls and safety during risky commute portions such as crossing busy intersections. My sensitive ears can detect a just barely audible amount of hiss from the mic pass-through, but it is hardly noticeable unless I am actively listening for it. Another piece of praise is that the battery and charge time on this headset are just insane to me. You can get SEVEN HOURS with just a FIFTEEN MINUTE charge! I will say it again: 7 hours of battery life, with a 15-minute charge! That means that even in the worst of circumstances where you forgot to charge your headset for days of use and it is dead in the morning before your morning commute, just plug these into a USB-C power source for a few minutes before you leave, and you will be able to get through a chunk of the day with just that quick charge! The case is a welcome and handsome accessory and the clever little storage spot inside of it for the USB-C charging and 3.5mm audio cables is also quite clever. I might even store a couple of SD cards in there for when I am on the go editing content! The headset itself is built so comfortably that it is obvious that the geniuses at Bowers and Wilkens aren’t just a bunch of audiophiles or audio engineers but are people who actually know what it is like to wear headphones for more than a few hours straight. It can be pure misery. These headphones I am happy to report have caused me zero discomfort at all over more than 8 hours straight of wearing them with minimal interruptions between over days of use. The earcups have kept my ears remarkably cool and the earcups, to my surprise, do not press the temples of my blue light glasses into my face like some other headphones models do. The ear cups instead seem inclined to just comfortably mold around them! So, glasses wearers, rejoice! These are darn comfortable for all except perhaps the most obstinately thick and square-framed glasses out there! Some final points I want to touch on before wrapping this review up are the wireless and app connectivity features of this headset that are highly convenient and worthy of a headset at this price range. The app is not just a gimmick as with some audio companies’ apps. The B&W music app has utility in customizing buttons on this headset, adding music into the app itself for streamlined audio control, turning on and off features like wear sensor (pauses music when you move the headphones off your ears), and most conveniently, set up of multiple Bluetooth connections and how you want to prioritize them. I use both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro alternatively all day for school and work and I thought I was going to be stuck using only Apple Ecosystem products for that unbeatable quick handoff and instant connection experience the chips inside them provide. But here, my friends, is a good competitor! I have both my MBP and my iPhone set up in the connections of this app and now it will seamlessly switch between the two depending on which is playing audio. An example is that I will be listening to a lecture on my laptop, get a phone call on the iPhone, pick it up, and I am hearing and talking through the speakers and mics of this headset! That is just perfect for my needs. The only aspect of it that feels a little sloppy is that my interminable fixation with using the Spotify Connect features makes swapping back and forth a little bit of a hassle sometimes since the headset and Spotify Connect feature get things mixed up on which device I want to listen from versus control from. The only small detractor I can give to this headset is that there is no IP rating that I can find regarding their dustproof and waterproof abilities, so I do not feel confident recommending them for very sweaty use or outdoor inclement weather use when not covered. Music can be more than just an audio experience. It can be something that transports you out of wherever you are to different times, places, feelings, and more. These B&W Px7 S2e’s are headphones that are capable of doing that for you. Thanks for reading this review and I hope it encourages you to make the purchase I think you are probably already leaning towards making if you have read reviews this long, haha!

Amazing headphones that have Evolved!
The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2e Wireless Headphones offer a premium audio experience with a sleek design that caters to the audiophile in you. The standout feature is undeniably the sound quality – the headphones deliver a rich, well-balanced audio profile that truly immerses the listener in their favorite tunes.The build quality is impressive, featuring a sturdy yet lightweight construction. The ear cups are plush and comfortable, making extended listening sessions a joy. The design exudes a sophisticated elegance.The active noise cancellation (ANC) is commendable, effectively blocking out ambient noise for an immersive listening experience. The adaptive nature of the ANC adjusts seamlessly to your surroundings, whether you're in a bustling coffee shop or enjoying a quiet evening at home. The battery life of the PX7 S2e is impressive, providing ample usage on a single charge. Quick charging is an added convenience for those on the go. The inclusion of USB-C for charging is a welcome modern touch.However, no product is without its flaws. The price is a slight drawback. Additionally, the headphones lack customization options for the sound profile. Unlike some competitors in the market, the PX7 S2e does not offer an equalizer for users to fine-tune the audio according to their preferences. This limitation might disappoint users seeking a more personalized audio experience. In conclusion, the Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2e Wireless Headphones are a top-tier choice for audio enthusiasts who prioritize exceptional sound quality and premium design. Despite some minor drawbacks like price and limited customization, the overall experience is superb. I would rate the PX7 S2e a solid 4.5 stars out of 5, acknowledging its excellence but leaving room for future improvements in user interface and customization features.

Comfortable with exceptional sound quality
Bowers & Wilkins are synonymous with high-end quality audio products and the Px7 S2e wireless headphones live up to the reputation with great audio and build quality. My blue Px7 S2e headphones come in an elegant matching blue pouch that sets the expectation. They look and feel great and well built. The set-up is straightforward and starts with downloading the ‘Music I Bowers & Wilkins’ app. From there, the headphones are detected and connected via Bluetooth. The app itself is simple and shows the status of the headphones, it has a good tutorial and you can play your music by connecting streaming services such as qobuz and Tidal that offer high-resolution music and other services such as TuneIn, deezer and Soundcloud. It has a simple equalizer to control the highs and the lows. The headphones have simple control buttons on the right earphone such as the power/Bluetooth button, two buttons to increase and decrease the sound and an action button for music playback and phone calls. The left earphone has one action button that can be customized from the app. The headband has a soft padded contour and the earpads are soft enough to be worn for hours without strain. The battery lasts for days but is shortened when playing a lot of high resolution music. Now for the performance, those headphones may be considered entry-level but the sound is truly premium especially while playing high resolution music. I took a free trial of qobuz that offers thousands of 24-bit and 16-bit formats songs. Those headphones truly came alive playing high resolution songs. The 40mm drivers delivered crispy clear sound from the highs all the way down to the deep lows. Listening to some Bob Marley and Radiohead songs blew my mind. I had a hard time going back to ‘normal’ resolution music listening again. However, those headphones still delivered solid quality sound from regular streamers. Listening in noise canceling mode doesn’t deteriorate the sound quality, which I command the engineers at Bowers & Wilkins for a job well done. I own several premium headphones from well known manufacturers and I made a few head to head comparisons and the Px7 S2e came out on top not only with their superior sound but also with their better quality build. The app is not the best app out there but I like its minimalist approach and lets me do what I need to do. Those are the best headphones that I own and I would recommend them to anybody looking for high-end headphones at an entry-level price. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Excellent quality
Both modes work well. It’s far better than Bose QC45 in sound quality and battery life. None of the cutting out that happens w Bose wireless. The bass is richer than Beats, Bose, and Skull Candy (though most of their lines are inferior, the bass is sometimes passable).

Truly Premium Headphones
The PX7 S2e’s are my new favorite headphones. They don’t have all of the features that Sony or Bose have, but they nail the sound, materials, and comfort. For me that’s pretty much everything. I’m always looking for an excuse to put these things on. They’re one of the few headphones I’ve handled that really ‘feel’ high-end and don’t just pack in a bunch of stuff to justify a higher price tag. The PX7 S2e definitely has the high-end look and feel to match its price, which is something I missed in my Sony XM5’s, which I found to be rather plain-looking. The different materials all blend seamlessly into each other and have a soft touch throughout. The buttons and switches are easy to press, but a little challenging to find by feel. The adjustable headband extends to fit my head and the leather cushion and ear cups don’t get uncomfortable even after hours of continuous wear. The Ocean Blue color also looks great and is suitably classy. It comes in a nice color-matched case with a cream colored interior. There’s a magnetic flap that holds both cables. Unfortunately the PX7 S2e’s don’t fold to make them more compact, so if that is valuable to you you may need to look elsewhere. They take up about the same amount of space as my Sony XM5’s in my bag, maybe a little bit less. The PX7 S2e supports sound via Bluetooth 5.2 with AptX Adaptive (no AptX Lossles unfortunately) and wired sound via the USB-C connection via either a direct USB connection or using the included USB-C to 3.5mm cable. They sound fantastic no matter which interface I use. It carries through a ton of detail in music, video, and gaming. No one particular part of the sound overwhelms or underwhelms and they sound very balanced and full. I will say that using them via USB-C on my Pixel 8 Pro they were rather quiet, but that was not an issue on any other device I used. There’s no mention of spatial audio or head tracking with the PX7 S2e, but I’ve yet to have an experience with other headphones I’ve worn that makes me miss that here. The noise canceling on the PX7 S2e is very good, but not quite as good as my Sony XM5’s, which is just fine with me. It easily drowns out most annoying sounds like loud fans without any problems and even if the ANC isn’t quite as good as my Sony’s I still would go anywhere I’d with them with the PX7’s no problem. The transparency mode is also good and while it doesn’t sound completely natural (there’s a bit of an airy background noise that comes through), it was very easy for me to carry on a natural conversation while wearing them. The noise canceling is not automatic or adaptive like it is on other headphones, but I found this feature to be finicky at best with them, so I’m fine with it not being here. Noise canceling and transparency mode can be cycled through using the Quick Action button on the left earcup, or they can be turned off completely. The microphone quality is excellent and not what I was expecting. In my experience the microphone/call quality is usually an afterthought even on the highest end headphones. The people I spoke to could not even tell that I was using a Bluetooth microphone instead of the normal microphone. The battery life is rated at 30 hours and while I haven’t come anywhere close to running these down just yet due to my combination of wireless and wired USB-C usage, that estimate seems to be holding up in the limited battery drain I have seen so far. The app is somewhat barebones, but it’s easy to use and it doesn’t get in the way with unnecessary notifications. It offers some basic bass/treble adjustment (no full EQ) and lets you change the Quick Action button to trigger the voice assistant instead of triggering ANC/Transparency/Off. It also allows you to turn wear detection on or off. For me it was off by default. I played with having it on for a while, but ended up turning it back off since it didn’t trigger reliably for me or muted the headphones at inconvenient times. This hasn’t been a strong area for any of the previous Bowers and Wilkins headphones and earbuds I’ve used either. Overall I’m really happy with the PX7 S2e’s. They get all the things that are important to me right and they mostly leave out the fluff. If you’re shopping in this price range and want something that’s truly premium I don’t think you need to look much further.

A Comfortable and Impressive Listening Experience
I recently got my hands on the Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2e Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones, and overall, I'm quite impressed with the experience they offer. Let's start with the positives. The first thing that struck me was how light and comfortable these headphones are. Wearing them for extended periods is a breeze, making them ideal for long listening sessions or binge-watching your favorite shows. The design exudes a premium feel, although I could do without the bold 'Bowers & Wilkins' emblazoned across the ear cups – a more subtle B&W logo would have sufficed. Sound quality is where these headphones truly shine. Whether I'm immersed in music, gaming on my iPad, or watching movies, the audio reproduction is impressive. The Bowers & Wilkins app provides easy customization of bass and treble, although I wished for more options. The app itself, however, leaves much to be desired, feeling more like a platform for ads than a genuinely useful tool. Stick to what you do best, Bowers & Wilkins, and leave the music services to the experts. The buttons on the headphones are intuitive, and I appreciate the customizable quick action button. However, a missed opportunity lies in the lack of a double-click function, limiting quick access to both voice assistant and environment control. Small details, but they matter. The 'Made for iPhone' label on the box seems more of a marketing point than a significant feature. While the headphones do have an app, the transition between Apple devices lacks the seamless handoff expected. Connecting still involves the traditional Bluetooth settings, and the headphones don't support SharePlay, a feature sorely missed when wanting to share audio experiences with others. On the upside, the sleek and well-designed case is a winner. The magnetic compartment neatly hides the cables, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall package. In conclusion, despite a few quirks, the Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2e headphones have won me over with their comfort and impressive sound quality. If you can overlook the minor inconveniences in the app and device connectivity, these headphones offer a delightful audio experience.
