Bowers & Wilkins PI3 Wireless Headphones review

The Bowers & Wilkins PI3 Wireless Headphones may not come with waterproofing or a super long battery, but their sound makes up for it in spades.

Comfortable design Excellent sound quality Simple to use

No waterproofing Average battery life

The Bowers & Wilkins PI3 are the first neckband headphones for the company, and they're a great start. Well-designed and simple to use, they sound pretty good too. Look past the fairly unremarkable battery life and limited features, and you'll be...

Bowers & Wilkins PI3 review

Brilliant wireless buds from B&W

Clean, detailed presentation ; Solid, weighty and tight bass ; Flexible design and fine build

Not IPX rated ; Lack of eartip options

In the market for a pair of talented wireless earbuds and don’t mind a neckband design? You should definitely consider the Bowers & Wilkins PI3s

Bowers & Wilkins PI3 initial review: First neckband from the audiophile brand

Bowers & Wilkins enters the neckband wireless in-ears market with two models, including the PI3 we got to listen to at the launch event.

A promising start for Bowers & Wilkins in the wireless neckband in-ears space. Featuring aptX Adaptive support and two drivers in each ear combines class-leading Bluetooth connectivity and fully rounded, accurate audio performance.

Bowers & Wilkins PI3 review: Neckbuds for audiophiles

Bowers & Wilkins' first wireless in-ear neckband headphones are a resounding success – but there's room for improvement

Among the best sounding in-ear wireless headphones available ; Excellent design and build quality ; Easy to pair and simple to use

Become a little uncomfortable after being worn for long periods ; No IP rating ; Average battery life

There’s no doubt about it, Bowers & Wilkins have got the sound quality of the PI3 absolutely spot on. You won’t get a better sounding pair of neckband-style in-ear headphones for the money. They’re also supremely easy to use, well-built and look great.

Clear, solid sound.

Bought these as I wanted to listen to music wireless on iPhone when walking. I didn't want big headphones or tiny buds. These are very comfy even though they have a neck band and very secure in the ears. Battery lasts a decent amount of time and is...
