Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2e: Improved performance and elegance

With the PX7 S2e, Bowers & Wilkins has made an impressive further development of its already outstanding predecessor, the PX7 S2. The S2e scores with an extended playing time and slightly improved sound fidelity, which has been proven in the laboratory. Trained ears will hear a difference. But one thing is certain: Both Both the PX7 S2e and its predecessor deliver excellent sound with rich details and fine resolution.

The over-ear headphones offer first-class noise cancellation that can compete with renowned competitors. They also sit very comfortably on the ears.

The equipment includes an elegant carrying case and the necessary cables. The versatile USB-C socket rounds off the overall package of the B&W PX7 S2e. The scope of delivery includes a stylish plastic case, a USB-C charging cable and an adapter cable for jack sockets. The USB-C port proves to be versatile as it can be used not only for charging but also for connecting to various devices.

Timeless on the outside, powerful on the inside

Visually, the B&W PX7 S2e remains unchanged from the previous version, but continues to use high-quality materials such as fabric, classy plastic and metallic accents. The over-ear headphones therefore appear stylish and classy. The ear cups covered with artificial leather ensure a high level of comfort, even though the weight of the headphones at 307 grams is slightly noticeable.

Intuitive operation and practical extras

The number and layout of the buttons on the PX7 S2e have been retained from its predecessor and are extremely user-friendly. All important functions can be activated with a short press. The free 'Music' app from Bowers & Wilkins offers additional functions such as firmware updates and sound adjustments via a Equalizer, which is a nice addition.

First-class noise cancelling and convincing sound

The active noise cancelling of the PX7 S2e is particularly impressive, as it effectively suppresses ambient noise and thus ensures a quiet listening environment. The headphones offer a balanced sound with powerful, well-balanced bass, clear mids and highs. Voices are reproduced precisely and without distortion.

Longer runtime and versatile connectivity

The noticeable improvement lies in the extended playing time of the PX7 S2e, which achieved an impressive 40 hours and 19 minutes in the test with noise cancellation activated.
