With more than 50 years of brand history, Bowers & Wilkins has been hailed as "the best speaker in the world that money can buy", and the monitors used by the famous Auroro Piguet Studios in the UK and Skywalker Studios in Hollywood are from Bowers & Wilkins. Although it is known for its speakers, Bowers & Wilkins headphones also have excellent performance. The Bowers & Wilkins PX was named Best Wireless Headphones of the Year 2017 by the authoritative audio media What HiFi?, ranked first on The Verge's list of Best Wireless Headphones, and was also the winner of the VGP 2018 SUMMER, Japan's leading imaging awards.
Compared to Sony and Bose, Bowers & Wilkins products have a better texture and workmanship, which is also reflected in the PX, with its surface mesh, leather and metal articulation just right, which is not an exaggeration to describe as a luxury in headphones. The biggest difference between PX and other headphones is that it can use the Type-C interface to connect to the mobile phone, and now more and more mobile phones cancel the headphone jack and use the Type-C data interface, which can bring certain convenience to consumers. In terms of hearing, PX supports aptX and AAC Bluetooth encoding, has a pretty good sense of low-frequency volume, dives deep enough, and the mid-high frequency performance is also very balanced, suitable for listening to pop music. In addition, the PX has added a three-level adjustable noise cancellation function, and the 29-hour battery life is at the mid-to-upper level (22 hours with noise cancellation on).
Bowers & Wilkins headphones also have P7 Wireless priced at 2188 yuan, and P5 Wireless priced at 1999 yuan. The former ranked first in its category with a score of 76 in the U.S. Consumer Reports, while the latter ranked second with a score of 71. The difference between the two is that the P7 Wireless has over-ear ear cups, while the P5 Wireless has on-ear shapes. Otherwise, the P7 Wireless and P5 Wireless are basically the same, both support aptX and AAC Bluetooth encoding, and the 17-hour battery life is in the lower middle range. In terms of hearing, the P7 Wireless has tight low frequencies and clear vocals. The P5 Wireless is more flexible in the low frequencies than average, but it doesn't have a lot of volume, and the overall detail is not very rich.
