BOWERS & WILKINS PX7 S2E

Bowers & Wilkins isn’t the only audio company that can’t leave well enough  alone – but fortunately, when B&W decides to tinker with an already winning formula, the results tend to be worthwhile. Which leads us to these, the Px7 S2e wireless noise-cancelling headphones.

There really wasn’t all that much wrong with the Px7 S2 cans (or the original Px7 model, for that matter). In every respect – audio, build quality, user interface – they justified their price premium over the mainstream heroes from Bose, Sennheiser, Sony and all the rest. But for this new ‘e’ model, there have been upgrades to the digital signal processing in an effort to extract even greater audio performance, as well as a few tweaks to the control app.

All the rest of it, from the premium materials and exquisite build quality to the 40mm full-range dynamic drivers and three-stage ANC, has been carried over from the old model. And guess what? The Px7 S2e is somehow an even more compelling proposition than the model it replaces.
