Wireless noise-cancelling headphones
Beautiful design; beautiful sound
High-end audio brand Bowers & Wilkins has made a few different wireless headphones in the past, but the PX is the company's first headphone to feature both Bluetooth and noise canceling. It's actually B&W's first noise-canceling headphone of any kind.
Although not quite as strong as some competitors, the Bowers & Wilkins PX still ranks among the top wireless noise-canceling headphones available right now.
The Bowers & Wilkins PX headphone offers impressive build quality and excellent sound; Wireless operation is nearly flawless, battery life is very good, and a premium carrying case is included; Works well as a headset for making calls.
Competing models from Bose, Sony and Beats are less expensive, more comfortable and offer better noise cancelling; -- and its noise cancelling is quite on par with those same competitors; Battery isn't user replaceable.
Bowers & Wilkins' first wireless headphones with active noise-canceling are almost perfect.
A few minor quirks aside, Bowers & Wilkins PX wireless headphones offer equal measures of great audio and adequate noise cancellation.
Wide soundstage with excellent audio separation; Comfortable to wear during long listening sessions; Long battery life; Easy-to-use on-cup controls
More expensive than the competition; Small drop in sound quality with ANC engaged; USB-C charging port can't be used to transmit audio; Headphones...
The Bowers & Wilkins PX is a classy product with high-fidelity audio, although it's not the best value at $400.
High fidelity audio Stylish looks Quality build Straight-forward to use
Auto turn-off not implemented well Audio prompt for noise cancelling is needed
Bowers & Wilkins has established itself as a top player in the headphone market over the last few years, but the firm hasn't branched into noise cancelling… until now. Here's our Bowers & Wilkins PX review.
For most of us, peace and quiet is a rarified commodity. Cities throng with static noise, offices are abuzz with chatter, and even empty homes are filled with the hum of fridges, extractor fans and washing machines.
Gorgeous looks; Adjustable noise-cancellation works well; Balanced; natural sound
Headband is uncomfortable for long periods; Treble is a tad soft
Wireless noise-cancelling headphones feel like the pinnacle of headphone technology. It's here that you'll find all the major brands really flexing their audio muscles.
Noise-cancellation impresses; Auto pause-play works well; USB-C charging
Sound lacks definition; No classic B&W black leather
Let's hope this is an early hiccup for the new team leading B&W. Since we tested two pairs, we're confident that we at least had an experience that will be similar to what customers will encounter, though it's possible we were sent two defective units.
Powerful audio performance with rich bass and crisp highs; Comfortable, stylish design; Cable included for wired use; Noise cancellation can be turned off; App allows for nuanced NC adjustments
Expensive; Glitchy in testing; NC changes audio performance noticeably; Can't be used in wired passive mode-cable requires power
The Bowers and Wilkins PX headphones provide noise cancellation that doesn't alter how music sounds, and a comfort level that means you won't want to take them off.
Full; rich sound quality; Three noise-cancellation modes; Noise cancellation doesn't drastically affect sound; Wonderfully comfortable; AptX HD
You'll need an AptX HD device to get the best from them; No USB Type C audio in
