Bowers & Wilkins - Px7 S2 Wireless Active Noise Cancelling Over Ear Headphones - Black

As an iPhone user jumping to another headphone always brings fears of how much are you gonna to have to sacrifice. Nothing can ever do more for you than the IOS devices. But if you only looking for key things… comfort, sound, ANC, and cost then the doors open up for you. The bowers and Wilkins px7 s2 are easily the second best headphone on the market today. It won’t do more than the ios device does but things like , comfort, sound, battery life, and looks are areas where the Px7 S2 steps up and beats all others in most and equals them in others. The b/w shocked me with just how good they felt on my head and ears. They cup around my ears without any touching of the driver. With that comes amazing sound quality , soundstaging, and powerful yet high quality. For me, the build of the S2s are much higher than I thought. The hinge movement are the best I’ve ever felt. I love the black chevlar look as well. I think I might have found the headphone going with me to my next business trip flight.

I tried Sony XM5, Bose Q700, Sennheiser M4, Airpod Max, Technics A800, Beats Studio Wireless. They all have strengths and weaknesses but I could only afford to keep one. Whichever one I chose I was going to have to decide which little imperfection I could live with. And there’s so much more that goes into it besides sound quality. There’s ANC, controls, comfort, portability, connection etc. My biggest priorities were sound quality and, due to a broken arm a while back and lingering nerve damage in my fingers, the controls. I’m kind of an audiophile so I’m really picky with sound. Rock, Jazz, ambient, folk. Etc. These had the best and most natural sound quality by far. Nothing added to try and beef it up no heavy sound signature and tuning. Just super clarity and natural punchy bass. Sennheiser was a really close second. Third Apple. Fourth Bose. I know Sony has its fans, and there’s a lot to like, but I found it a little muffled and overly compressed. The Bowers and Wilkins brought out details and channel separation and still had a nice balanced and full sound. The bass didn’t swallow up the rest of the sound like some of the others. I just love these. I found the noise canceling to be almost on par with the Bose. And these rivaled the Apple air Max in terms of build quality. And now. The controls. The best controls for my situation was easily the Apple AirPod Max. One button. Clickable not haptic. Awesome. Loved it. But the sound quality was not as nice, they were kinda heavy…and they were the most expensive. The beats also had great controls …But the sound was not even really in the ballpark of all the others. All the others had touch controls that I just found very frustrating. Sennheiser was probably the easiest of the touch controls but the stupid power button and shutting them on/off was an adventure every time. The Bowers and Wilkins have buttons which were a little tricky but thankfully the center button has ridges to distinguish it from the others which my thumb and finger, which have numbness, were able to recognize. I guess the controls were something easier to live with than the others. The two cons with these which I find easy to forgive are the app only has Bass and treble…no eq. And the wear sensor, which senses when you take them off and pauses the music, will often malfunction. Luckily this is easily fixed. You can just disable it in the app and then they work flawlessly. And because they have physical and clickable buttons, pausing them and shutting them off is way easier than all the other ones. I bought them in blue. I love them. My teenage daughter, who swears by her Air Pod Maxes, even admitted that these sound way better and look really cool…just not as cool as her maxes:) Anyway this is a long review because I spent weeks trying them all and it was important to my lifestyle. If you try these you need to be patient and let the simplicity and nuance of the sound settle in. It won’t blow you away with bass or make it sound like you’re in a noise deprivation chamber like the Bose…They have a mature and exciting sound and BW nailed it! I cannot recommend these enough and I feel so confident that I picked the best ones for me.

I was hesitant getting this headphones but im impressed on how well the headphones are. Great detail and quality of making. Love the physical control button and the NC is far more than expected. Easy to connect wirh the app or without it. Im happy with the purshase.

Stylish design with premium materials that feel and look better than anything else in its price point. Sophisticated, mature, neutral sound. More of an audiophile headphone than a head banger but you can turn the bass up if you desire. ANC not as good as some competitors, but their sound does not come near the quality of the Bowers and Wilkins. Great battery life.

The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 headphones are an absolute game-changer! The active noise cancelling is not the best, but it handles most noise. The sound quality is crystal clear, delivering an immersive audio experience. Unlike other high-end wireless ANC headphones, these have convenient physical buttons that make controlling the audio playback a breeze. The sleek design and exceptional sound quality make them my top pick! Highly recommend these headphones!
