Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 Wireless Headphones Over Ear Noise Cancelling, Active Noise Cancelling & Transparency Mode, Hi-Res Sound, Bluetooth, 30-Hr Playtime, Quick Charge, Indigo Blue

I call myself an audiophile but honestly, just havent found the perfect headphones.... these PX7 S3 are awfully close to perfect. Vs Airpod Max USB-C Sound quality on the APMs are very close to the PX7s and everyone knows these are the market leaders (whether the fruit company cares about them is a different problem). Just incredible sound on the PX7s and weight is so much better, I love my APMs but I slot the PX7s above the APM. Vs Sony XM6 I had last 3 generations of Sonys, 4,5,6s. There are so many things great about the Sonys, especially ANC. However, for me, so disappointed, the biggest 3x issues for me - my ears touch inside the ear cup even after aftermarket pads. I swear my ears are "normal". I cant wear them for this reason alone. I am not a fan of the sound, I know, crazy but the soundstage is so narrow, I dont know how anyone can say the XM6s have amazing sound, its fine, nothing amazing, that tiny driver they use can only do so much, finally, the build. When I turn my head I can hear the plastic creak, sorry for the price I cant recommend them. Vs Bose Ultra 2nd Generation Yes, the Bose have great fit, good build, but tired of Bose shortsighted EQ and limited sound stage and other gimmicks. I returned these because the sound was just not there even after EQ. Bose should try to develop a new driver and not keep reusing the same driver for last 6 years (serious zero innovation). Overall Sound Quality is stellar....just beautiful sound. Great drivers and the improvements with the new amps on each driver, new chipset and improvements on the voicecoils are really noticeable vs the S2es. I wish I could hear the Px8 S2s as reviews say their amazing but the price point I would be afraid to take them on trips. Fit is amazing, zero pressure or comfort issues, ears dont touch inside and the headband is great and clapping force is perfect (I have a big head though so this is saying a lot!). App is great and I have EQd these which is great - would be nice if B&W had a bit more advanced EQ but it achieves what is needed. A few cons - mics could be better on calls but not bad, usable and no one has complained. Would nice if the earcups were just a hair wider and would be nice if there was bit more bass hit/extension. Good job B&W on the S3's! Looking forward to the S4's and continued improvements.

These headphones are AMAZING!!! The sound quality is crazy good!! I turned on True Sound and haven’t had to make any other adjustments; mind blowing! The app is flawless and I’ve been using Tidal through the app. The build quality is great! Also had an update once connected to the app. There was no issue with the update as others have mentioned. They are so comfortable, not heavy feeling on my head and the ear cups fit my ears perfectly. I first got the Cambridge P100se, but returned them the same day they were delivered. They were HUGE and too HEAVY. They were also very clunky, and not comfortable. Plus, the build quality was nowhere near as good as these PX7 S3. Wish I could have gotten these on sale to save a little money, but still totally worth the full price!! I’ve had B&O, Bose, Cambridge Audio, headphones and these PX7 S3 are so much better than those. Again, it’s the sound quality and comfort! If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! 😎❤️🎶 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I am an audiophile and music is one of my passions in life. I do own a few high end speakers and headphones: Focal Utopia, Focal Bathys, Monolith M1070 Planar, AirPod Pro 2, couple of Bose QC, and Bose NC700 among my current collection, and I’ve tested many more over the years. After reading so many good reviews and seeing people are comparing this against other ordinary headphones, I decided to order one and see how it stands against the Focal Bathys that currently is just a bit more money. The history of the bacterial processed cellulose drivers Bowers used in Px7 intrigued me which are the closest you can get to the legendary Sony MDR-R10 from the 80s that did cost $2500 per pair back then and would be $6500 adjusted in today’s money, so Px7 S3 price is well worth the test! Unboxing and First Impression: Box was easy to open. You get the sliding cover out, remove the bottom of the package perforated paper sealing, and you can remove the top half. Unboxing and holding the headphones all screams quality, and the low profile and smaller size against Bathys made my mouth drooling. Bathys is way bigger. On your head you actually can feel the big size and weight, which is not comfortable for longer use. Px7 S3 is much slimmer and lighter which is amazing. Overall, more comfortable. Connecting to Bluetooth asked to get the app and set up was easy in 3-5 min creating an account. It had 64% battery. Sound Quality: I have mixed feelings. Openness, separation, soundstage, and clarity definitely goes to Focal, but lower end extension, smoothness, noise cancellation, and overall loudness goes to Bowers that has a pleasing profile. I would describe the sound of Bowers as transparent and coherent, and Focal as exciting. If I can have only one pair, I would go with Focal for the better clarity and being better on more tracks, but Bowers is better than most headphones like Sony XM6 and Bose QC Ultra. However, Bowers boominess at times bothers me, and Focal is better with most vocals male or female. Now keep in mind, Bowers has a new 5 band equalizer, and I could mimic Focal’s profile by reversing the V shaped sound of Px7 to some extent by adding +1.5 to band between LO and MID, +3 for MID, and +1.5 for between MID and HI: [0, +1.5, +3, +1.5, 0]. After everything, still more songs sound better on Bathys while some do better on Px7S3. Bathys is like the singer is singing in front of you, and Bowers is like you’re listening to a hi-res recording with more vibrations from your subwoofer. I should mention that Px7S3 can get very loud thanks to new dedicated amps, but it gets distorted. When you increase Focal’s volume, clarity is there but things scream very brightly at you. Neither one is great at highest volumes. Maybe the better comparison is between Bathys and the upcoming Px8 S2 which was mentioned in the users manual, but for the current Px8 (version 1) with carbon fiber drivers, I think Focal has an edge. Conclusion: If you’ve a pair of high-end headphones like Focal Bathys, you don’t need to upgrade for better sound quality. However, if you need like more portability and better ANC, then Bowers Px7 S3 is a good choice with a nice history on the drivers material. It is definitely better than consumer grade headphones like Sony XM6 and Bose QC Ultra. As for me, if I didn’t have three pairs of Bose, I would keep this one for travel and commute and keep the Focal at home. I am just not sure if I need another $500 pair. *** Update Regarding In-Flight ANC: My first air travel with these headphones was a little underwhelming. During takeoff, I kept hearing these horrible pulsating noises, and on air, every time I turned my head towards the window, I heard more humming engine noise. I even had a chance to update the firmware to the latest, but it didn’t help with ANC. I will try again on my return flight again and hopefully I will have a better seat. Update Return Flight: Okay, so the noises are there for ANC. No matter which side of the plane you are sitting, left or right, turning your head to the right will increase the humming noises. So if you are in an F-seat near the window, looking out increases the noise, and if you are on an A-seat, still looking right to the isle will do the same. Must be an uneven microphone array positioning issue that only does this when turning right. Take off noise is still there too. The best way I can describe it is when you roll down the window driving fast on a highway. The same throbbing annoying wind buffeting sound happens during take off.

The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 are among the most impressive wireless headphones I’ve heard. The level of detail is genuinely jaw-dropping. Subtle textures in vocals, strings, and instruments come through with remarkable clarity, making familiar recordings sound fresh and revealing. The sound is clean, dynamic, and refined, with excellent balance across the frequency range. These headphones manage to combine detail and musicality in a way that makes long listening sessions very enjoyable. The design is equally impressive. Bowers & Wilkins clearly focused on elegance and premium materials—the build quality feels luxurious, and the overall aesthetic is sleek and understated. If you are looking for wireless headphones that deliver both exceptional sound quality and beautiful design, the Px7 S3 are an excellent choice.

The pros for me on these headphones are a sleek design, comfortable fit and good noise cancellation (I traveled cross country twice with these). The sound quality is quite good too, though listening to podcasts for some reason sounds like listening to a conversation in a cavernous basement (the EQ helps a little but is not great). My main con is the bluetooth connection drops often and it takes a while to reconnect (several minutes). I thought this was just because of being on a plane with lots of other bluetooth around me, but then it happened at home and I just could not get the connection to come back quickly (resetting the pairing works but is a pain and should not be something you should have to do repeatedly). I ended up returning them.

Coming from a musical background, sound quality is my biggest weighted factor when evaluating headphones. These are above any others I’ve tried in this price range (Bose QC Ultra, Sony XM6, Apple APM). The app isn’t as feature rich as Sony’s app, but it’s 5-band EQ is all I needed to get the perfect sound (though, it’s honestly near perfect right out of the box!). Sound stage is a tiny bit bass forward, but it doesn’t take anything away from the clear, articulate highs. My tip - boost the mids just a tad in the app and you’ll have a perfect EQ for modern music and everyday listening. Build quality is also important to me. Once you pick these up, then hold a new pair of Sony or Bose for the same price, you can never look back. They feel like plastic toys in comparison. The only other pair of headphones that match the build quality here would be the AirPod Max’s, but I prefer the design and look of these PX7 S3s. A mix of leather, aluminum, and fabric - they look elegant and refined. Heavier than the Sony and Bose, lighter than the Apple. Perfect middle ground in my opinion. Not uncomfortable whatsoever. BIGGEST DRAWBACK, and really my only complaint is the Active Noise Cancellation. It’s just not on the same tier as Apple, Sony, and Bose. They really are the leaders in this category. Does the ANC here suck? Absolutely not. It’s just not the best if you want complete isolation. If this is your biggest weighted criteria when buying new cans, it’s the only time that I would not recommend the PX7 S3s - go with the competition. For me, I have a pair of AirPod Pro 2s that will suffice if I need more ANC. But if you want a solid build, with long battery life, real physical buttons, outstanding sound quality, and a straight forward app that allows you to EQ even further, and if your budget is up to $500 - these are VERY hard to beat.

I bought these as an upgrade to my Beats Studio Pro 3s, of which I'm on my second pair and have been using them for many years. I will keep the Beats in my "arsenal" they're better suited to handle sweat, from what I understand. The Px7s are my go-to for having a good car audio experience. > The ANC isn't as sweeping as I was expecting, but it definitely tones down the road noise in my 335i. > The audio is definitely a step up from the Beats, as you would expect for an additional $250. I'm not an actual audiophile, but I am a musician and I mostly listen to jazz on these: you definitely hear all of the acoustic instruments with greater clarity. Even listening to podcasts, I feel like I hear more of the room ambience. > The battery life is as advertised: I listened to them for six hours on a recent car trip and they were at 85%. > I would not have bought a pair (like the Sony in this range) that lacked physical controls. These are less intuitive than the Beats, but you do get the additional ability to fast-forward and rewind. > I found the auto-sensor that pauses audio when removing ear cups too quirky for my tastes, even after the firmware upgrade; I have disabled that. > I like the EQ feature in the app, and have left mine with a permanent mid-boost that works for my ears. > The physical comfort between the two is not significantly different, though it feels like the Px7 encompass and sit flat over my ears. Oddly, after a few hours, the cushioned band on the Px7s starts to bug me a bit. On an unlimited budget, I would definitely consider upgrading to the Px8 S2, to get just that additional little bit of audio superiority. But within the price band they occupy, these are a nice step up. I am definitely happy with my purchase.

This is THE BEST HEADPHONES under $600-500 i ever Use. I compare with Bose QC ULTRA GEN 2 & SONY XM6. Pros 1. Sound Quality is top tier. Crystal Clear & sound stage The best Loudest almost same like PX8 And if you like More Heavy Bass just set EQ low to +6db incredible. For Overall AUDIO Better then Bose and sony 2. Connectivity is so Smooth and So fast then Bose and sony. 3. ANC and Transparency almost the same like Bose Ultra 2. But SONY XM6 Is Better. 4. Battery Life. Good enough for 30 hours. 5. Looks and Quality Top Tier looking Luxury and styles not like Bose and sony using Cheap Plastic. 6. Future you can use USB Losless audio or 3.5mm Cons 1. Expensive 2. No future Immersive sound or Head tracking sound like Bose qc ultra 2 have it. 3. No speak to chat or conversation ambient sound future. Even sony xm6 and Bose have it. 4. To expensive Without includes those Future.

Çok uzun suren arastirmalarim sonunda bu üründe karar kildim ve dun elime ulaştı (beklenen tarihten 1 gun erken hatta). Ses kalitesi çok güzel keyifli bence. Ses seviyesini de gayet yeterli buldum. EQ ayarlarını değiştirip farklı ses karakterleri elde etmek güzel bence (ama tabii 5 band eq ayarı yerine Sony XM 6 gibi daha gelişmiş 10 band eq ayarı olsa daha da tatlı olabilirdi). Urun çok premium duruyor güven veriyor o konuda. Usb C kablo Macbooka bağlayıp Hi-Res Müzik dinlemek çok güzel hissettiriyor. Noice cancelling yeterince iyi bence (Bose QC Ultra Gen 2, Sony XM6 en iyileri). Birlikte gelen kutusu bile çok premium. Konfor olarak da fena degil (Bose QC Ultra Gen 2 en iyilerinden biri). Yakin zamanda True Immersion güncellemesi geldi ama yapılan yorumlardan anladigim kadarıyla pek beğenilmemiş belki sonra güncelleyip iyileştirirler (Spatial Audio onemliyse Sony XM6 daha uygun olabilir sizin adınıza). Ses kalitesi olarak rakiplerinden çok onde bence almamdaki en büyük faktör de bu oldu (malzeme kalitesi ve usb c dinleme imkanıyla birlikte). Benzer fiyatta Bose QC Ultra Gen 2 da var (Konfor & Active Noise Cancelling en on plandaysa daha doğru tercih olabilir). Bütçe olarak bu kadar çıkmak istemeyenler icin de PX7 S2e de fiyat/performans olarak harika bir alternatif. Bütçe olarak daha da cikmak isterseniz Sennheiser HDB 630, bowers & wilkins px8 s2 de çok güzel seçenekler. Ama PX7 S3'den baya memnunum su an icin tabii. Beni tatmin etti.

Excellent headphones!! Very well built, excellent sound and sufficient ANC. Perfect balance.

I purchased a seinnheiser acentum plus a Sony xm6 and now this PX7 S3. Obviously the cheaper option was eliminated in the first trial but I wanted to know if a cheap headphone from a big name company would be a good move. Then comes the Sonys, impeccable ANC (slightly better than the B&W) good not great when it comes to sound even with different 10 band EQ profiles. The XM6 also felt bulkier, weird style with the cups protruding out of my head substantially, people looked at me different on the streets. Well now comes the B&W PX7 S3, low profile so it won't stick out, beautiful design (despite being subjective to the user), amazing build materials with texture, metal and solid buttons. The ear cups has more space so your ears will fit in the cavity instead of being pressed like in the XM6, the drivers are also at an angle so it follows the profile of the ears, ear cups are comfortable and of premium material that are soft but not too compressed against your head. ANC is good but below XM6 BUT remember that the first duty of the headphone is sound AND BOY LET ME TELL YOU, what an amazing experience listening with these. Crisp voices and mid tones, well separated base , great volume. Overall a superior class overall the X6 for sure. 24bit audio over USB C, and Qualcomm codecs for this with the greatest and latest android phones like me. Despite the price believe me those will be a long run kind of headphones.

The sound is really good but they need to improve the ANC as it is less than Sony and Bose. Also, when you wear it for an hour you will feel discomfort.
