Truly outstanding wireless and noise cancelling performance; Well built; Excellent specifications

My reference wireless headphone has been the Bowers & Wilkins P7, which has been a trusted source of sound for countless trips across the country, to the gym, and even for a few groovy sessions at the pool while on vacation in Maui.

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.

Every purchase of consumer tech is defined by the choices we make about what we value more. In the world of over-ear headphones, the question has up until now been a three-way tug-of-war between the contradictory desires for wireless and noise-canceling tech, lightweight and compact design, and the...

Best sound from noise-canceling headphones; Plentiful battery life; USB-C charging and connection versatility; Durable and attractive design; Headphones pause automatically when you take them off

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.

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

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.

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

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!
