Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e Bluetooth Headphones Over The Ear, Over-Ear Headphones - Enhanced Noise Cancellation & Transparency Mode, Crystal-Clear Calls, 30-Hour Playback, Forest Green

So pleased I discovered these! Exceeded my high expectations. Excellent fit and finish, awesome sound. Coming from Bose and was slightly concerned as reviews had suggested these had less low end bass compared to the Bose. Not the case. I find myself preferring 'commercial' sound like Bose and find audiophile stuff quite flat. Also don't want 50 settings for sound or the requirement to dial it in just to use the product. These are exceptional straight out of the box. You can still adjust bass and treble in the app should you want to. The main reason I chose these over Sony, Bose, Sonos etc was the USB-C charging and passthrough for wired lossless playback. This includes lossless playback from Apple devices (haven't tested others but I'm sure if Apple works they would as well). Only caveat is they need to be powered on. Power draw appears minimal (connect to USB after powering on). Buttons for volume and multifunction still work. Mic doesn't appear to work. Transparency and noise cancellation are more than adequate, but are not best in class. However, colors are and a welcome change to everything else on the market. My choice (green) is mature and understated, looks and feels very premium. Very comfortable, but haven't tested extended use yet. Weight is between Bose QC and Apple AirPods Max. One niggle is the included USB-C to USB-C cable came with discoloration/staining on the ends - pictured. Also comes with 3.5mm to USB-C which was not discolored. Works fine (cable is otherwise a decent quality soft plastic) but a bit disappointing from a QA/QC perspective.

Le Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e sono un vero e proprio capolavoro sonoro che ridefinisce lo standard delle cuffie wireless di fascia alta. Dal punto di vista audio, l'evoluzione della "e" (che sta per evolved) si sente tutta: il suono è incredibilmente dettagliato, con bassi profondi ma sempre controllati e una separazione degli strumenti che fa sembrare di essere seduti in prima fila a un concerto. La qualità costruttiva è superba, con materiali premium, inserti in tessuto e un'imbottitura in memory foam che le rende comodissime da indossare anche per molte ore consecutive senza stancare. Anche la cancellazione attiva del rumore è stata nettamente migliorata rispetto al passato, riuscendo a isolare perfettamente dai rumori del traffico o dell'ufficio senza però alterare la naturalezza della musica. L'autonomia è eccellente e copre tranquillamente intere giornate di utilizzo, mentre i controlli fisici sui padiglioni sono precisi e molto più affidabili dei classici comandi touch. Se cercate un paio di cuffie che non scendano a compromessi tra eleganza stilistica e fedeltà acustica, queste Px7 S2e valgono ogni singolo centesimo speso. Consigliatissime!

Ok. It was Black Friday / Syber Monday 2024 and I figured why not drop some money and help everyone else figure out which headphones are the best. I did not test anything $600 or more. These headphones were mid level, where most buyers are. With incredibly pricing, some of these were downright a steal! I am going to break them down into a few categories (Sound Quality, price value, bluetooth app Connection, comfort, style) and give you the results on each category. I could not test longevity since I just got them all, so I will leave that for other reviewers. The headphones I tested were the: Beats Studio Pro X Sony WH-1000XM5 Technics Wireless Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e Bose QuietComfort Ultra The overall winner for those who don't want to read why is............. Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e. Second Place...... Technics Sound Quality Winner: Bowers and Wilkins PX7S2e Runner Up: Technics Wireless Comments: This one was hard to pick a winner. Bowers and Technics were dang near neck and neck. You can't go wrong with either. I had to go back and forth 10X to finally figure it out with all the songs I played. Some songs, Technics was better, some Bowers better. What it came down to was the immersion of sound. I felt Technics had the better highs and crisp voice sounds so if you are going for vocals, I would say Technics, but Bowers had a better feeling of overall broad balance of sound, lows and immersion. The Bose and Sony were 3rd and 4th. Beats last. Beats are great headphones, but they just didn't have the stable / predictable sound that Bose and Sony had. Price Value Beats Studio Pro X ($159) Sony WH-1000XM5 ($298) Technics Wireless ($172) Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e ($249) Bose QuietComfort Ultra ($329) Winner: Technics Wireless Runner Up: Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e Comments: For $172 the technics are hands down the best value / bargain of any headphone I have ever had. I have heard they have issues breaking on the hinge, so I can't comment on longevity, but for sound quality and price, there is nothing close to the Technics. I got them on sale, so not sure if they are going to be that price forever. My review on this would change if the price went back up. Bowers and Wilkins at $249 was unreal for the winning headphone. What a great deal. Beats are nice gifts, but nothing I would own now after reviewing these others. Sony was way overprices. Bose, utter disappointment for their pricing. Bose is a solid 8 across the board but never a 10. App Winner: Technics Wireless Runner Up: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Comments: I felt the Technics were the best overall app. Super easy for the normal user. Lots of easy sound options to choose from like bass+, vocal, treble+, dynamic. No weird screens. Just easy. I felt Bowers really dropped the ball on the app here and their app seemed a bit complicated with no pre settings to choose from. This was a bummer. Bose is always a steady 8, but never a 10. Good app, but not incredible. Just good and dependable. Sony, meh. they should change their name to always over complicate everything, but if you get it figured out they rock. Beats did a decent job.. Nothing I will remember. Bluetooth Connection Winner: All of them. I had zero issues with any, so they all get at least one spot on the winner podium. Comfort Winner: Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e Runner Up: Bose Comments: Bowers felt the best for sure. They just fit awesome. No doubt about it. Clearly the winner. Bose is a distant second. Beats felt really good actually so it took 3rd place. Technics is fourth but a bit stiff. Not quite as comfortable as the others. Sony was shallow so your ears hit the speaker cloth, which dropped to last place. If not for that, Sony would be number 3. Style Winner: Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e Runner Up: Beats Comments: Bowers hands down looks and feels like quality. Winner for sure. Beats colors are rad and they look amazing. Everyone compliments beats colors so they take runner up. Technics looks kind of cheap but they are not and this frustrates me as they have such a great brand, why cheapen them with such a cheap looking stainless design. Everyone loves the new flat colors and quality builds, not a headphone that looks like an outdated stainless steel refrigerator from the 2010 era. Final thoughts. Overall, Bowers is the best overall headphone, but dang, Technics is really an audio guys headphone if you want to hear certain highs and distant lows that should be your choice. Bose is a 8 out of 10 on everything, never a winner on anything. Sony was a disappointment to be honest. Beats is fine for style but lacking in the areas that matter the most. Long live Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e this time around. Good job.

*Versand und Verpackung: Das Produkt wurde schnell und gut verpackt geliefert. *Qualität und Eigenschaften: Ich bin mehr als zufrieden mit diesen Kopfhörern. Die Farbe grün sieht klasse aus. Die Kopfhörer fassen sich wertig an und sind sehr gut verarbeitet. Zudem sind sie nicht schwer so das man sie stundenlang tragen kann, ohne das sie störend wirken. Ich habe einen kleinen Kopf und sie passen sehr, sehr gut. Sie rutschen nicht wenn ich den Kopf nach unten halte. Da habe ich bei anderen Kopfhörern Probleme mit. (Jabra, Apple) Hier passen sie sehr gut, und decken auch die Ohren komplett ab. Die Geräuschunterdrückung ist schon sehr gut, kommt an die von Apple aber nicht ganz ran. Dennoch reicht mir das völlig aus. Man kann auch wählen ob sie an sein soll oder aus, oder ein Mittelding, damit man die Umgebung noch mitbekommt. Das wird einfach an einem Schalter an der linken Seite eingestellt. An der rechten Seite befindet sich der Schalter zum anmachen/verbinden, einmal nach oben schieben und die Bluetooth Verbindung ist sofort da. Zudem sind dort die Knöpfe zum laut und leiser machen, skippen oder Telefon annehmen. Man kann die Kopfhörer so einstellen das sie auf Pause gehen wenn man sie abnimmt. Also die Musik läuft nicht weiter. Setzt man sie wieder auf geht das Lied oder was auch immer automatisch weiter. Über die App kann man noch ein paar wenige Einstellungen vornehmen, wie z.B. Höhen und Tiefen verändern. Der Kopfbügel sitzt sehr gut und ist gut gepolstert, ebenso die Ohrteile. Da habe ich nichts zu bemängeln. Das ganze kommt in einem tollen Case in dem die Kopfhörer sicher aufgehoben sind. Es ist wertig und stabil, mit einem Reißverschluss zu schließen. Die Kabel haben darin auch noch Platz. Auch hier ein großes Plus gegenüber Apple die nur ein hässliches, lächerlich wirkendes Silikonteil haben. Überhaupt nicht geeignet um die Kopfhörer im Rucksack oder Tasche mitzunehmen. Der Klang ist wirklich gut, sauber und klar. Bass als auch Höhen sind sehr gut, gefällt es nicht, kann man über die App nachsteuern. *Fazit: Ich finde sie super, sie sind wertig und sehen toll aus. Der Klang ist schon sehr gut.
