British audio manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins presents a new premium headphone in the form of the Px7 S2. The headset includes active noise cancellation and has a hefty price tag.
The manufacturer says that the Px7 S2 is based on a “new acoustic platform”. In the middle are 40mm drivers, which react very quickly and are therefore able to “really faithfully reproduce every nuance in a piece of music” with low distortion. This should ensure a more accurate high-resolution display.
The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 features wireless technology from Qualcomm (aptX Adaptive) that automatically optimizes wireless music transmission from compatible phones, tablets and computers.
Naturally, this model also features a powerful digital signal processing unit, which makes it possible to play high-resolution 24-bit music using suitable streaming services. The headphones also support USB-C and 3.5mm cable connections. Both cable types can be found in the supplied carrying case.
Bowers & Wilkins Active Noise Canceling
The Px7 S2 also features Bowers & Wilkins noise canceling technology to keep out unwanted noise without compromising audio quality. Six high-quality microphones work together for this: two microphones measure the output of each driver, two react to external ambient noise and two ensure that you can be heard clearly during a call.

The new Bowers & Wilkins headphones are controlled by the company’s Music app. With the app, you can connect the Px7 S2 to a mobile device or tune the sound using an adjustable equalizer. In addition, you can switch the transparent mode of the noise reduction on or off with it. This allows you to let in more or less external sounds.
Finally, you can also check the battery level of the headphones with the app. In a future update, the manufacturer will allow you to stream your favorite music directly from their mobile device to the Px7 S2.
The ear cups have buttons, so you can also operate the headphones without an app. In addition, you can use the Px7 S2 to activate a voice assistant at the touch of a button. With a single charge, the headset lasts up to thirty hours. A quick fifteen-minute charging session is enough for seven extra hours of listening pleasure.
Price and availability
The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 is available in three colors: Gray, Blue and Black. It’s slimmer, lighter and equipped with more luxurious ear cushions with improved memory foam. The headphones are now on sale for a price of 429 euros.
