I was hopeful for the B&W P17 to be my new king of IEM's but a few issues held it back. The sound quality is great, but the bass is just way too much. At lower levels it's powerful, but crank it up and the mud starts slinging. My test for bass handling has always been Tribe Called Quest's Vibes and Stuff. The low rumble bassline just wrecks the vocals and other sounds on lower quality speakers. It shocked me that the B&W P17 couldn't handle it. Adding an EQ could have allowed me to tweak it in app, but my only option was to tweak it with my OS's EQ - a big no-no for me. With so many different devices I connect to I always keep my EQ flat and tweak on each device. This brings me to the app. You don't need it. It's beyond useless. The only options you have is to tweak audio passthrough or adjust the amount of noise cancelling. You can't EQ, you can't customize shortcuts, you can't control media...I have cheaper IEM's that have apps that do all this plus more, so it's sad that you can't do any of that with these higher end buds. On to the HD audio. Unless you're subscribed to a service that offers 24bit audio or rip your own you won't be taking advantage of this. Or if your phone, like my S21+ Ultra, doesn't support APTx Adaptive then you also won't be able to use the extra bits. So keep in mind that your source is just as important as the buds. Because of the limitation of my phone I couldn't get to test HD audio. Since talking to people on the phone is going out of style, my phone test was limited to a call to a Chinese Restaruant - if you haven't tried Crispy Pork BBQ you need to now! The call was clear and she heard everything I said and her voice came through fine. So, no complaints there. I used the buds all day yesterday - I lied, I worked all day yesterday, the buds didn't - while doing yard work and found the fit snuggly the whole time, even while sweating. The noise canceling worked wonders keeping the weed eating and lawn mowing buzz down. One neat thing is that the NC allow some high pitched sound through clearly, like voices, and I kept hearing a ping sound that I wouldn't have caught with my normal headphones on. I looked over the mower and found a pin had gotten loose and a bar that stablizes the deck was bouncing around. Great catch there! The bad part about using the P17's for yardwork was that they needed a break before I did. I don't carry the case with me while working so I had to head back inside to grab another pair of headphones. I wasn't going to carry the case around with me while I did dirty work and I wasn't ready to take a break to let it fully charge. I wasn't 1/2 done with my chores yet so a 15 min charge wasn't gonna help and I hate resting before my work is done. Overall it's a decent set of buds, but unless you have a specific need for 24bit audio you're probably better off looking elseware.

To much interference no good sound short range loose comunicación

I own a lot of different earbuds don't ask why I just like a different pair now and then. These are small and light weight they look good don't hang out of your ear to much. The audio is nice and balanced with the treble and bass. You can't adjust them they have noise canceling and ambient pass-through. The app will tell you the battery life of each bud and the case. The nice thing about these earbuds is you can have either one of them in the case and they still work. Most buds you have to have use the left one so this is a nice feature. The buds basically do nothing but ay music the side function are just pause and play most others let you fast forward and turn the volume up and down. So it did take sometime to get these paired to my phone it kept saying the app is needed to pair I had the app downloaded. When I went to the app I paired it there and it showed connected but the music was still coming out of my phone speaker. When I got it to connect with my phone it wouldn't connect to my app. So connect to the app 1st the check to make sure your connected to your Bluetooth. It works great now. I like the case it comes in nice and small. Overall nice sound disappointed that the earbuds don't control anything.

Bought through the brand store and I really want to warn people away from this product. As such, here goes. Pros: Sounds great. Audio retransmission is a great idea. Design is subjective, so that depends, but I personally like it. That's it. That's all they do well. Cons: 1. Constant interference and connection dropouts. It's not my environment. It's the device itself. My Airpods and Galaxy Buds work perfectly. 2. Non-customizable touch controls. I could forgive this if the controls were useful, but you can only access noise cancellation on one earphone. The other is the phone's assistant. You cannot access the ambient pass-through at all through the earphones. You need to enable it on the phone app, which is terrible, but much better than the Bose Music app, which is an extraordinarily low bar to pass anyway. So, if you are out and about and need to quickly talk to someone, you either remove these entirely, or take your phone out, open the app, wait for it to connect, and then turn on the ambient mode. And repeat to turn it off if you put your phone back in your pocket as the app may disconnect after a while. 3. The case. I was so happy to open the box and pull the case out. It felt so good in your palm. Then you try opening the lid and realize that appearances can be so deceiving. The lid is flimsy and wobbles a bit when closed. You can actually move it a bit. When you open it, you are prone to accidentally close it immediately as the spring is really weak and even a slight angle will cause gravity to pull it back. You should also be careful with how you handle it because when you pull the individual earphone out, and you naturally grip the case, your fingers might slightly graze the lid and it will snap shut on your fingers. It won't hurt though. The force is too weak anyways. 4. Audio Retransmission does not work well at all, unless you use it with a secondary headphone like the PX7, which I do have. If you use it with the earphones, it will be even worse than connected to the phones. Static. Pops. Breaks. All of them together. It's no longer functional in this mode. Basically, a gimmick. If you want to use it as a transmitter, you will have to purchase another Bowers and Wilkins headphones. In their infinite wisdom, it does not work with any other brand. The case only looks for their own brand, oddly enough. I have both the PX7 and Bose NC 700. Only the PX7 works. Why they decided to limit compatibility is beyond me. Also, sometimes it just refuses to work with their own included audio cable. Only works fine if I use a usb to usb connection. 5. Price. I expected it to be the best pair I have ever owned given that they cost the most. The PX7, their own high end headphones cost the same, and they are over the ear headphones. The pair I do have is slightly defective though, so maybe all my issues with this pair is the same thing. If so, this brand has serious quality control issues. My PX7 was replaced two times and both times, I got a defective product before I decided to use them without noise cancellation. If the PI7 is similar in this regard, I just can't deal with them. Better to return them and wipe my hands clean. Basically, wait for B&W to fix their mess of a brand. Look for the issues everyone is having and if it dies out, maybe look into these because underneath all its terrible flaws, it has great potential to be the best of them. Alas, they are the worst. Buy some other pair for some other brand.

I have about 5 different In-Ear wireless headphones and the Bowers & Wilkins PI7 are the best so far. No issues connecting headphones to my laptop, IPAD, and cell phone. You can use a USB Type C to 3.5mm cable (which is comes with) to connect the headphones to an 3.5mm audio jack. Works really well. Audio quality is phenomenal. The sounds are richer and fuller. I don’t know how describe it. You need to test it out for yourself. Like many In-Ear headphones after about 60 to 90 mins my ears get sore. Overall highly recommend these.

So I'm the type of person that finds it hard to get in ear earbuds that are comfortable but also sound good. Well this is the first set of true wireless earbuds that seems to fill both bits of that equation. As far as build and feel go the charging case and headphones have a nice solid feel to them but not so heavy or anything that they feel overbearing. They also are as far as true wireless in ears go the most comfortable set I've ever owned. I have always found it hard to find a set that I can wear for more than 10 minutes and that is not the case with these. I'm able to wear them several hours at a time with little to no discomfort which is a nice change of pace. As for the sound I'm fairly impressed. I don't expect much from true wireless headphones or Bluetooth headphones in general but these have very good sound quality and clarity. They are not overly boosted in the high and mids like a lot of in hear headphones and they have decent base as well that is not overpowering which is nice. Also the Noise cancelation is second only to some over the ear headphones I use so that is also very impressive for the size and quality. There is also one other feature which is incredible and adds to the overall value for these headphones. The case that comes with the PI7's can also act as a Bluetooth adapter for those devices that only have a 3.5mm headphone jack that feature in itself adds a lot of value if you want wireless headphones but your hardware does not support Bluetooth. Overall if I had to make a choice between these and other true wireless earbuds I think these make my top of list.

Best earbuds by far. Noise cancellation second to none and the bass bumps, studio in my ears.

High end performance Very good for you money Very light

Great sound, great fit. Best wireless ear buds I’ve ever had

These TW headphones sound amazing. Yes, they are pricey but they are worth every penny
