Verdict

The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 is a premium wireless over-ear headphone featuring custom-designed 40mm bio-cellulose drivers angled to deliver a detailed and immersive 24-bit high-resolution soundstage. Weighing 307g, it offers 30 hours of battery life with a 15-minute quick charge providing 7 hours of playback, and utilizes six integrated microphones for hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) and clear telephony. Main pros include its luxurious build quality with memory foam ear pads, support for advanced codecs like aptX Adaptive, and a refined, bass-rich audio profile that excels in musicality. However, some cons include ANC performance that trails behind industry leaders in blocking low-frequency engine rumbles and a companion app limited to simple bass and treble adjustments rather than a full parametric equalizer.
