B&W PX5 S2 Overview
Bowers & Wilkins has made a name for itself as the creator of top-quality studio monitors and loudspeakers. So, when the company launched a new pair of wireless headphones, we were naturally eager to test them out.
The app is free to download and has a handy search function for finding content. It also allows you to add titles to your library and share them via social media.
There's also a separate EQ setting that can be used to customize the sound profile and add extra warmth or bass. It's a nice addition and we hope the app is expanded to include other options in the future.
The ANC system is a great upgrade over previous B&W headphones, and it's also really convenient to use. The quick-action button on the left earcup toggles between three different noise cancelling settings - on, passthrough and off. It's a really useful feature for travelling and in everyday urban life between open-plan offices, underground trains and cafes.
B&W PX5 S2 Features
The Bowers & Wilkins PX5 S2 are premium on-ear headphones that deliver a rich, detailed sound paired with an excellent ANC system and long battery life. They're also comfortable enough to wear for hours at a time without getting tired.
They feature custom 35mm drivers that are angled slightly to create a more comprehensive soundscape. That means they're a good choice for listening to modern music that isn't too bassy or trebly.
B&W's Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology uses six microphones to detect ambient noise, suppress the rumbles of your environment and boost voice clarity. It's an impressive improvement over previous models and works well with both wired and wireless audio playback.
It's a great feature for travellers and for people who are always on the go. It's a simple way to keep your ears safe and protect your hearing while on a train, in an airport or even on a plane.
You can turn ANC on or off by holding down the quick-action button for three seconds while you listen to your music. The app lets you reassign the quick-action buttons to activate your voice assistant, or to adjust the frequency of the ANC.
Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity allows you to stream media from up to two devices at the same time. You can also take calls and control the volume using the on-ear remote control.
A 15-minute quick-charge option tops up the battery to give you seven hours more of listening time.
The battery isn't as large as other brands' but it does last an impressive 25 hours with ANC on. That's on par with the average for the industry and is more than enough for a day of travel.
They also have a 15-minute fast charge that gives you five more hours of listening.
This is a nice feature that can save you some money if you're travelling with the headphones on. It's a great option for listening to music or podcasts on your mobile phone while you're away from a power outlet.
