- Px7 S3 Wireless Headphones Over Ear Noise Cancelling, Active Noise Cancelling & Transparency Mode, Hi-Res Sound, Bluetooth, 30-Hr Playtime, Quick Charge, Anthracite Black

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.

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 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.

The best sounding wireless headphones so far. I have used PX8 and PX7 S2, but these are miles ahead of them in terms of sound quality, lesser had pressure and call quality. These are truly audiophile headsets.

Musik begleitet mich ständig, am liebsten über Kopfhörer – so kann ich ungestört und ganz in die Musik eintauchen. Seit Jahren probiere ich immer wieder neue Modelle aus, auf der Suche nach dem für mich perfekten Klang, bequemen Sitz und guter Geräuschunterdrückung, wobei für mich der Fokus auf Klang und Tragekomfort liegt. Mein Musikgeschmack ist breit gefächert, von elektronischen Genres wie Progressive House und Trance bis hin zu Rock, Pop und Klassik. Als Abspielgeräte nutze ich meist mein iPhone 15 Pro oder mein MacBook Pro M1 MAX. Wie immer ist alles subjektiv, daher halte ich mich mit Superlativen zurück, sondern beschreibe meine Beobachtungen. Der Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 ist genial: sehe gut verarbeitet, sehr bequem zu tragen – auch über Stunden und mit Brille – für mich genau der richtige Anpressdruck. Das Noise Cancelling ist gut bis sehr gut, für die U-Bahn, den Bus, den Stadt- und Straßenlärm schon mehr als zufriedenstellend für mich. Die Klangbühne ist breiter als beim Px7 S2e und noch breiter als beim Noch-Flaggschiff Px8. Klanglich gefallen mir besonders der präzise, tiefe Bass (der noch tiefer und kontrollierter geht als bei allen Vorgängermodellen) und die klaren, ausgewogenen Mitten. Letztere werden nie aufdringlich oder unangenehm: Endlich! Denn das war beim Px7 S2e und erst recht beim Px8 noch anders. Die Höhen sind ebenfalls sehr angenehm crisp und nicht zu scharf, da ist jede Menge Sparkle: einfach geil. Was B&W hier obendrein extrem gut gelungen ist, ist der neue 5 Band-EQ. Lange wünschte ich mir mehr Eingriffsmöglichkeit in der App als nur zwei Regler für Bass und Höhen. Endlich ist ein großartiges Refinement möglich. Ich brauche gerne noch etwas mehr Druck tief unten, ohne dabei jedoch die Mitten und Höhen negativ zu beeinflussen. Das ist nun hervorragend gelungen, ohne dass es irgendwie boomy klingt. Der Px7 S3 ist der erste Bluetooth-Kopfhörer, der es mit meiner kabelgebundenen High-End-Lieblingskombi (Meze Liric II + Chord Mojo 2 und spezielles Silberkabel + TIDAL HiRes Audio) aufnehmen kann. Klar klingt diese Kombi nochmal geiler, die ist aber auch nur was für zu Hause. Der Px7 S3 kommt für mich vorrangig mobil zum Einsatz. Der Px7 S3 liefert mir sehr guten Sound, den ich stundenlang genießen kann. Er klingt frei, voluminös, kräftig, sehr angenehm differenziert. Kabelgebunden an TIDAL mit HiRes-Audio verbunden merke ich kaum Verbesserungen; der DSP macht ein gewisses Voodoo und holt selbst aus den popeligsten Bluetooth-Codec SBC und AAC raus, wozu andere Kopfhörer nicht imstande sind. Wer einen Px7 S2e hat und über ein Upgrade nachdenkt, dem kann ich‘s nur empfehlen. Selbst wer einen Px8 hat bekommt mit dem Px7 S3 mehr ausgewogenen und breit gefächerten Sound auf die Ohren. Bleibt abzuwarten, wann der Nachfolger des Px8 kommt und was die Briten ihm alles mitgeben. Nachfolgend ein Roundup zu Kopfhörern, die ich bisher (getestet) hatte und wie ich Sound (S), Tragekomfort (T) und sofern vorhanden das Noise Cancelling (N) miteinander vergleichen würde (max. 10 Punkte für Bestnote): Update Mai 2025: Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 S: 10 T: 10 N: 9 Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 S: 9 (Höhen diffus, enge Bühne, etwas dumpfer als freier Klangeindruck - aber in sich stimmig und angenehm) T: 10 N: 8 Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H100 S: 8 (höhere Mitten für mich leider zu kreischend / anstrengend ansonsten grandioser Detailreichtum) T: 10 N: 9 Apple AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C und MagSafe) S: 10 (für mich am besten mit Equalizer "Rock" am iPhone) T: 9 N: 9 Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e S: 9 (in den Höhen irgendwann anstrengend) T: 10 N: 9 Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S: 8 (in den Höhen schnell anstrengend) T: 10 N: 9 Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 S: 9 T: 6 (sitzt zu locker, kleinste Kopfbewegungen verändern den Sound) N: 9 Sonos Ace S: 7 T: 8 N: 10 Meze Liric S: 9 T: 10 Meze Liric II S: 10 T: 10 FOCAL Celestee S: 8 T: 5 FOCAL Bathys S: 6 (insgesamt eher knöcherner Sound) T: 6 N: 7 Solitaire T+A S: 8 (zu leise am iPhone) T: 10 N: 8 Mark Lewinson No. 5909 S: 4 (Mitten und Höhen zu kreischend) T: 7 N: 4 Sennheiser Momentum 4 S: 8 T: 10 N: 10 Apple AirPods Max S: 5 (echt schwacher Klang und Ohrpolster dürfen nicht verrutschen) T: 4 (schwer und bei leichtem Verrutschen Klangeinbußen) N: 8 Marshall Major IV S: 7 T: 7 Sony WH-1000XM5 S: 6 T: 10 N: 10 Marshall Monitor II S: 5 T: 3 N: 6 Marshall Monitor BT S: 7 T: 8
