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

I work in a noisy office with a really irritating air conditioning duct above me. I bought these to try and blot out the noise so I could concentrate. It was cutting through my noise isolating headphones that I use for monitoring recordings. These cancel this out.

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

Bowers & Wilkins is best known for its hi-fi speakers, but the company also puts out some fantastic headphones. The B&W PX is its first crack at a set of wireless, noise-cancelling headphones.

Fantastic sound; Handy smart sensors; Auto power/connect/play; Attractive design

Noise cancellation could be stronger

I've tried these, the new Bose QC 35 II and the Sony WH-1000 Mk2 and the most uncomfortable out of all 3 for a person that has to wear glasses as part of normal day to day life are the Bowers and Wilkins PX.

This is one impressive pair of portable headphones. I'm using these for my daily commute to London and can't fault them. Sound is incredible, build and finish is first class. Don't hesitate, just buy!

I'm a longtime Bowers & Wilkins fan . The headphones are so good, I've always thought, they don't even need noise-cancelling. Well, Bowers & Wilkins didn't listen to my thoughts and recently released a set of noise-cancelling headphones. I was wrong.

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.

Bought these to replace a ageing pair of sony mdr1 nc and wow! Sublime sound, top build run them in use a good source and sing these babys do! Better than any at price simply stunning pair of headphones, i got the gold and blue love them best i have ever owned.
