Bowers & Wilkins PX7 - design review

The headphones came out in dark gray and gray colors (dark blue are taken for the reviews). In our opinion, dark gray looks more elegant, but many users on the Internet did not appreciate the efforts of the designers of Bowers & Wilkins. In their opinion, the headphones look cheap, there are no peculiarities of their own and there are not enough chips.

The headphones are excellent for me. They are comfortable, strict-looking, and the cups are sewn with fabric, so they look stylish and effective. All control is done with buttons - without any buttons and micro-USB. The assembled Bowers & Wilkins PX7 is of high quality, everything is perfectly stitched - the design is fresh and relevant.

Compared to the smaller PX5s, the PX7's fit is excellent: the large ear cups will easily hide even the largest ears. So, order without fitting. Medium hardness ear cushions. They adjoin tightly, you can listen to music at any volume level and not be afraid that others will hear it.

We can safely say that this is the most successful model - if you fly long distances, then your choice will definitely fall on the Bowers & Wilkins PX7. They do not need to be taken off for several hours - the headphones do not press, do not interfere and do not cause pain.

A dedicated button to enable ANC mode is an undeniable advantage. The headphones have a 3.5 mm jack and large buttons, a button to turn on / off.

The fabric does not wear out during use, despite the fact that they were dragged in a backpack, bag and so on. As for the entire series, the PX7 made sensors in the cups. If you move one earphone aside, the music will stop. If you return it back, the tracks will play again. The sensors are disabled in the application, and the sensitivity level is set in it.

The case for the PX7 is tough, with even a compartment for the audio and USB Type-C cables. The only drawback is that the cover is large and takes up a lot of space, so it's not easy with it when traveling.

Total about design. Minimalism plays a role here. All functionality is in place, the material does not slip when the “ears” are in the hands. The fabric looks clean and neat. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 are simple, but effective in this way, although they have their own emotions and style.

Bowers & Wilkins PX7 App

Install to be able to update the headphone software. It also turns off the sensors, turns on the transparency mode, which is adjustable. You can activate it without an application by pressing and holding the button on the left cup. The transparency mode works efficiently. Without removing your headphones, you can easily communicate with people from another room.

Bowers & Wilkins PX7 Review

Let's check the noise suppression function and the battery life - after all, 30 hours were declared.

Shumodav (ANC). Bowers & Wilkins PX7 doesn't have the same isolation and noise cancellation as the popular Bose NCH 700, for you can easily hear everything that happens around you. But powerful noise is effectively masked.

By wearing comfort there are also no questions, no discomfort, the headphones sit well. The operating time, as you understand, is also decent. The charge holds well, so the batteries, judging by the behavior of the headphones, will last you even to Australia!

Not without a typical drawback - you cannot lean your head against the wall, since the ear cups interfere.

Watching movies in Bowers & Wilkins PX7 is also a delight - the sounds are transmitted perfectly. Dialogues of actors, sound effects, explosions, scary moments. - everything is just excellent. This is understandable, since the PX7 has excellent customized drivers.

Let's just say that you will definitely be satisfied with your purchase! With the development of Bowers & Wilkins PX7, the company fixed all the bugs and problems of the previous model, which is why they managed to create such a monster with excellent noise cancellation (ANC). And once again, we note the feature of these headphones - sensors: this is especially felt on the plane. He pushes the cup aside - the film stops, asks for orange juice and continues to enjoy watching. Top!

Moreover, the buttons are mechanical: you cannot press them accidentally, no matter how you lean on the wall or back of the seat.

B&W PX7 Sound Review

I have tested different headphones. In my opinion, Bowers & Wilkins PX7 and Bose NCH 700 are favorites in their segment. Bose NCH 700 has its own setting, with it the sound immediately conquers you once and for all, great sound.

Bowers & Wilkins PX7 is distinguished by its emotions of sound: they have a lot of color and excellent, you want to live in them! The 43mm drivers are slightly tilted so that the sound goes directly to the ear. They have been designed exclusively for the PX7. Even the manufacturer says that the headphones are designed and matched by the same people who created the 800 Diamond. But they are now used on Abbey Road.

The Bowers & Wilkins teams are real professionals who are 100% focused on sound quality. Perhaps for this reason, the PX7 sound so different from other models. It seems that these headphones are unique and made just for you alone!

Why did these ears hook me? It rarely happens that you like listening to music from different platforms, and playing, and watching movies with headphones. Somewhere, yes, the sound will not suit! But this is definitely not the case with the Px7. Wonderful drivers keep the maximum, everywhere trash, voice, bass. It even feels like the headphones are jumping on the ears.

In case you do buy a Bowers & Wilkins PX7, I conjure do not forget about Vox and FLAC, Tidal (turn on Hi-Fi). You will definitely not regret it!

PX7 Review Summary

At a cost of 28,990 rubles, the PX7 is in the TOP-3 of the most expensive wireless noise canceling headphones on the market today. And be sure to note that these are the best models from the existing ones: the sound is different and it's even silly to compare. There are no better or worse analog flagships, but everyone will find what they like best. PX7 also likes the design - minimalism and simplicity are always in fashion. Tasteful and slightly strict.

Obviously, past PX models are ambiguous - there are contradictions, omissions and shortcomings. Therefore, in Bowers & Wilkins PX7, all the disadvantages were successfully eliminated. With headphones, it is comfortable on the road, good battery life, quickly connect. There is an excellent, necessary application, noise cancellation (ANC) works at a pretty good level. Even if you don't get complete isolation, when listening to music or watching a movie, the headphones will accurately mask extraneous noise so that you won't even pay attention to them!

What will happen in future PX models? I think the brand will not pay much attention to this line, since today all the possibilities are implemented in the PX7. Unless, it would be worth working on 100% wireless headphones. Alternatively, they may release a luxury wireless model with super drivers, but the price will be much higher than that of the PX7. This is quite real, because in the world of Bowers & Wilkins has earned itself fans, and expensive headphones are still in demand.

The verdict is as follows. These are great headphones that are perfect for business and leisure travelers, especially in flight. Bowers & Wilkins fans have received a real surprise, you definitely can't go wrong with it. Perhaps this is one of the best audio accessories of 2019-2020.
