Customer Ratings & Reviews

Meh....for $400 I expected higher volume. You want loud go cheap. Albeit the sound quality is fairly lush. Very rich, just not that loud. As far as build quality...we'll see how they hold up next 10 years. Headphones are easy to use, paired right up to my phone. Didn't need the app, although other people may need/want the app. Yes, I'd recommend these headphones to someone looking for rich sound, if you're looking to make your ears bleed....keep looking.

We are very happy with our choice of noise cancelling headphones. They have met our expectations.

My wife loves them, as she has a smaller head and they fit comfortably around the ears without applying to much pressure.

The sonic quality of these headphones is amazing. Well worth the investment.

I have been using bose headphones for years but this time i wanted to try something different so i went for bowers &wilkens headphones nd they are amazing the sound is incredible, i am very happy with my purchase.

These are the best headphones ever better the apples. I want to try the next version

I own more than a couple headphones. These are my new favorite. I cant speak of these vs the px8 but i can tell you i thoroughly enjoy the sound that they produce. They are my new daily set.

Best over ear headphones at its pricepont. Exceptional build quality and sound is warm, accurate, and detailed.

Sound is great but overall I liked the Sony better because of ability to control with swipes. I got the Sony for a better price

Amazing clear sound quality and great discounted price.

Like the sound quality and noise canellation. Build quality is good but still room to improve.

Very happy with these headphones, wasn’t sure what to expect but they are awesome

Excellent sound quality; very close to actual live sound reproduction.

These are the best! The sound quality after using the app to customize it is amazing!

I never heard of this brand before but WOW! Impressed, for sure!

Sounds great but the volume level could be higher for the price

Great quality, design and sound, i dont regret this purchase one bit

Out of the box, these headphones had a weird power issue. I charged the headphones to 100% and began using them. During their first use, I quite literally watched the battery percent on the headphones tick down 1% every 5 seconds or so until the headphones notified me they were shutting down due to low battery. Fast forward 2 months later, and the battery now has a phantom drain issue where I can charge the headphones to full and come back to them a couple of days later and they are dead. I'm really frustrated as Best Buy won't help because it's been over 2 weeks, and Bowers & Wilkins wants me to pay for shipping materials and transit costs in order to send them their defective headphones back. While these sound GREAT, this is single-handedly the worst experience I've had with a technology product. I cannot recommend you avoid these enough.

Top quality for your money, very happy with my purchase!!!

I love the look, the size, and the sound of these high end head phones! Design The design looks very clean and efficient to me. The headphones fit over my ears well, but are not extra large and bulky. I feel like they're smaller than many over the hear headphones but don't feel tight in any way. The head size adjustments slide easily but stay in position well. There are three buttons on the right ear piece and a power/Bluetooth switch. I prefer having a switch for the power over a button that you hold. The three buttons control play/pause/next/previous/answer/hang-up as well as volume up and volume down. The right earpiece has one button that used as a three way toggle for noise-cancelation, audio pass though (the mics are used to bring though external sounds to you while you listen, and off (so they function as non-noise canceling headphones would). There is one USB-C port on it which is used to charge the headphones, and it comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable for that purpose. It also comes with a USB-C cable that has an 1/8" stereo jack on the other end so you can plug it into non-Bluetooth devices with a standard headphone jack. The case also has a clean, sleek design. The zipper is mostly hidden but works well. There is a compartment inside that closes with a magnet to hold the cords. For some reason there is no handle on the case. I think they should have added that. Setup I installed the app and setup the connection without an issue. By default, at least on my Android 13 phone, it configured a Qualcomm AptX connection for higher quality audio. The app allows you to make some adjustments for bass and treble. It has a lot of features related to streaming high quality audio from premium services. I think the idea is you can use the Bowers & Wilkins app to control Music streaming from any other app you may use. There's also control for a few options, like using the button on the left earpiece to activate your virtual assistant instead if you want. Sound Quality The sound quality is excellent! I listed a number of different types of music including rock, rap, and classical. Bass is solid, treble is clear and crisp, vocals are easy to pick out. There was one song I listed to that I've heard countless times before, but for the first time could understand some lyrics I had always missed. Another song has violin that I could always hear but with these headphones I heard violin parts that were quieter and in the background that I had never heard before. Everything sounded perfectly clear and crisp, reproducing the full range of the music. Noise Cancelation One of the first things I noticed is that I don't notice the "pressure", for lack of a better word, when I turn on the noise cancelation that I used to notice on other noise canceling headphones that I've used. The noise cancellation works very well too! I was listening to music while mowing the lawn and could barely hear the lawn mower and could hear my music loud and clear. It is an electric lawn mower but still makes plenty of noise. I even got a phone call while mowing and was able to talk while I was mowing. I had no issues hearing the person on the other end and they could hear me clearly but they didn't hear the mower at all! I also did some testing with music playing and then turned it on and off and tested the audio pass though as well. I'm very impressed by the noise cancelation. I've also used it while reading to block out noise in the house. We have a small library but the room doesn't have doors. Now, when I want to read, I can just put these on and suddenly, it's like the doors are closed, and outside noises go away. I tested it with other music playing and it worked perfectly. Battery Life They claim 30 hours of battery life. That may very well be. I can just say the battery definitely lasts a long time and I'm very happy with the battery life so far. No SoundScapes? If you're familiar with older models of Bowers & Wilkins headphones, some offered a feature called SoundScapes. You could use the app to choose from a handful of different nature sounds, like rain, water running down a stream, or white noise, and transfer that to the headset and then play it without using any device connected to the headphones. I thought that was a great feature and huge value add. For some reason they don't have that anymore. You now use the Music app instead of the Headphones app and it's not in there. So I'm hoping that they will add that back with maybe a firmware update and an app update but who knows. Summary This is an excellent set of headphones! I'm sad they no longer offer SoundScapes and the case could use a handle, but the Px7 S2e is an incredible set of headphones. The sound quality is excellent. The noise canceling performance, including the lack of pressure I felt, was excellent. And even the fact that I can pull one earpiece away from my head or take them off all together to pause and put it back on to play (forgot to mention that nice feature earlier) is impressive to me. It's a solid 5 stars in my book and the SoundsScapes would have made me really wish I could give 6.
