Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e

Confident, detailed and hi-fi level sound quality ; Capable active noise-cancelling (ANC) ; Great build and finish

Really not very different to PX7 S2 at all... ; ...except far more expensive given newness ; ANC is limited compared to competition

While it would be all too easy to suggest saving money and buying the original PX7 Series 2 for less, what the Px7 S2e represents is still a marvellous ensemble of sound quality, luxurious build and sublime comfort. Sure, the active noise-cancellation...

Excellent audio fidelity ; Very good active noise cancellation ; Beautiful design, fabulous build quality ; USB audio interface for wired connection to smartphones

Not as flashy as the competition from Bose and Sony ; ANC prowess still lags Bose and Sony ; Still no support for surround sound formats like Dolby Atmos

Billed as an “evolution” over the fabulous Px7 S2 that hit the market just last year, Bowers & Wilkins’ Px7 S2e is a subtly better headphone everywhere that counts.
