B&W PX7 S2 Overview
As with other models from the PX series, the Px7 S2 is powered by a pair of Class D amplifiers that output up to 115W. They're controlled by a programmable multi-function button on the left ear-cup that toggles ANC modes and can be configured to activate phone assistant functionality.
Battery life is excellent, matching the PX7's 30-hour playback time with a 15-minute charge. That figure is only three percent lower than the WH-1000XM5's, although it must be noted that they don't work while charging and don't support passive audio.
The headphones' acoustic performance is genuinely impressive, and they provide a big, emotive soundstage that's impressively wide and expansive for closed-back headphones. The Bass is deep and rumbly, and vocals cut through clearly among synths, piano, and other tones.
B&W PX7 S2 Features
The B&W PX7 S2 is the first in a pair of wireless headphones that promise to deliver the best sound that Bowers & Wilkins has ever created. They have a more angular esthetic than the original PX (Bowers & Wilkins' first headphones with active noise cancellation), a revised algorithm for the noise canceling, and a new app, but they face tough competition from the Sony WH-1000XM5 -- which offers more smart features and higher audio quality -- and Apple AirPods Max, which aren't as comfortable or well designed.
A new pair of 40-mm free-edge dynamic drivers deliver a more linear, refined sound than the previous generation's, with significantly less harmonic distortion. That's thanks to acoustic upgrades including a "significantly angled" driver housing that the company says results in superior spatial placement and total consistency for stereo imaging.
They support a range of Bluetooth codecs, including SBC, AAC, and aptX Adaptive for 24-bit high-resolution playback. They're also compatible with a 3.5mm audio jack, though you'll need to use an adapter to connect them to a wired device.
Call quality is improved compared to the original PX7 with a wider frequency response, which is more efficient at blocking out noise and capturing sounds around you. Voice microphones are positioned and angled differently to boost noise suppression, which should result in better calling even when the music is too loud or in noisy environments.
Design and build are strong points for these headphones, with the ear-cups and headband sitting snugly and forming a good seal around your ears. They're very comfortable to wear for long periods and have a nice swiveling yoke that makes them easy to put on and take off.
They're not quite as light as the original PX7 but they still feel comfortable to wear for long stretches, despite their extra weight of 307g. They're still very well shaped, too, with soft corners forming gentle rectangles on the sides of the ear cup that protrude naturally from the swiveling headband.
The earcups are held securely in place with a ratcheting hinge and a neodymium magnet that helps create a stable, comfortable fit for most heads. The ear-cups aren't collapsible but they can be folded flat and placed in an accompanying hard-shell case.

- After Sales Support - The only issue with Hi-Fi equipment is that you will not find local service centers in every city. Most of the brands have their service centers only in the metro cities and hence it becomes difficult for the customers who are living far away places to claim warranty. At AV Kart, we solve this problem by arranging pikcup and drop facility from the nearest service center with the help of our logistic partners.
