Review on Bowers & Wilkins PX7 Wireless Headphones by Akemi Tsuruoka ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

Actually, I bought them without first listening in an audio store. I just really liked the design, that's all. If I hadn’t found out about them, I would have taken the Beyerdynamic Lagoon, which I had listened to before along with their analogues (I didn’t listen only to Sennheiser momentum 3, Dali io-6, and models from Audio-technica and Denon). So, in terms of sound. At first it seemed that the bass was too fat, and the high frequencies sounded like mids. At the same time, I noticed the volume of sound, some kind of scene. A little later I realized that the included noise reduction embellishes the bass, but even when it is turned off, the bass still feels "fat" and high frequencies (for example, vocals) do not sound so bright and expressive. I mainly listen to rock and metal, and I will say this - some tracks / bands sound "as they should", without pretensions, while others seem to fall prey to fat bass and insufficiently bright highs. The noise reduction here is obviously worse than that of Sony and Bose, but I would not call it bad. The noise of the subway and cars extinguishes well, voices and other medium-high sounds pass through. For the street, the Low mode is enough, the High mode seems to press on the ears with its antiphase, but this is probably a matter of habit. Sound via USB cable when connected to a PC works, and, in my opinion, will be better than via a 3.5mm cable. At the same time, the headphones are also charged. In the headset mode, I did not particularly test them, once I received a call when I was at home in them, they heard me normally, as well as my interlocutor. The branded application is not very informative, it is useful - you can adjust the strength of the transparency mode, turn off the ear sensor and adjust its sensitivity (but still, as I wrote above, there will be a delay of at least 2 seconds when removing), set the shutdown timer when idle, and edit the connected to the device's headphones. The on/off switches (for example, noise reduction and transparency mode) in the application are very small and you almost never get to press them the first time.

Pros
  • -Design - probably the best I've seen. For me, it's love at first sight. - Build quality, reliability -Materials - textiles, leatherette, and most importantly - a composite-carbon bow. I have not seen this with other headphones. -Sound (but not without nuances) -The ability to connect to two devices at the same time (for example, to a laptop and a smartphone - an arch-handy feature)
Cons
  • -Noise reduction in auto mode does not work smoothly, but jerkily changes from weak to strong, and even in a not particularly noisy place it can turn on strong noise reduction. In general, the auto mode does not work as well as we would like. - The function of pausing music when removing the cup / headphones and continuing to play when putting it back works with a delay of 2 seconds minimum. Changing the sensitivity in a proprietary application does not particularly change the situation. -Does not work on 3.5mm cable if turned off. That is, if they are discharged, listening to music in them will not work until you recharge and turn them on.
