BRITISH audio brand Bowers & Wilkins has introduced the Px7 S3, its most advanced wireless headphones yet, and it comes complete with reworked sound, upgraded noise cancellation and a more refined design.

At the heart of it is a new 40mm biocellulose driver with a new structure for improved dynamics, and, for the first time in one of their over-ear models, there’s also a dedicated amplifier inside. The result? Well, it’s a sound that feels more alive. And for the opposite end of the spectrum, the noise cancellation has had a big step up too, with eight microphones working together to block out external noise without flattening the music. Four pick up ambient sound, two focus on voice during calls, and the remainder keep everything balanced.
When it comes to the design, it’s more compact, slimmer and lighter than before, making it ideal when you’re on the go. Plus, the memory foam ear cups are softer and better shaped for longer listening with the headband sitting closer to the head. It’s available in three finishes that match the cleaner design from Anthracite Black and Indigo Blue to cool Canvas White.

The PX7 S3 lasts too, with a solid battery life of 30 hours with noise-cancelling on. A 15-minute charge gets another seven hours (handy if you forget to plug in overnight). Physical buttons are still here and have been made more intuitive to use, and it’s possible to switch between noise-cancelling modes or activate a phone’s voice assistant with one button.

Backed by the app, it lets the wearer tweak the EQ, save presets, check battery life or switch to the brand’s own True Sound tuning; and with later software updates, spatial audio and Bluetooth LE Audio will be added.
