    Bowers & Wilkins PX7 noise-cancelling over ear headphones

    My replacement PX7 came today. Quite possibly psychological, but I think this pair is a tad less muffled sounding. No problems with them so far. The only unique identifier I found on the on the package was on the barcode the first pair had “19.10” and the replacement has “19.11”. Who knows if...

    Bowers & Wilkins PX7 noise-cancelling over ear headphones

    After more listening they are growing on me. They are still a little muffled. The bass is really awesome. They are really comfortable. I am going to exchange them because the left cup has cut in and out a couple of times. I tap on the cup and it comes back on. Clearly shouldn't happen with...

    Bowers & Wilkins PX7 noise-cancelling over ear headphones

    Well I'm only about 10 minutes in, but I currently think the sound is a bit muffled. Comfort is good. Noise cancelling is outstanding. Need to give them some time and compare them to my P7W, but seems the P7W may be hard to dethrone. Still I may sell the PX and keep the PX7 for flights...

    Bowers & Wilkins PX7 noise-cancelling over ear headphones

    I just sprang for the PX7's. They are due here Saturday. I started with B&W back in P7 (original). I've tried a TON of headphones since then. My favorite is still the P7W. I got the PX and enjoy them on flights, but they don't sound as good and aren't as comfortable. So with all of the...

    Bowers & Wilkins PX Noise-Cancelling Over-ears

    Very tempted. I have the P7W that I use every day now and I also have the P9’s, which I rarely use because I have just stopped using wired cans. My biggest gripe with the PX design is that it’s isn’t a folding design but rather a flat style. I have always had folding styles and right now they...

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    To me they are both the best I've ever used. The P7W has a big better bass I think. The P9 is a bit more refined and has a tad better detail and separation. I really enjoy using both.

    AirPods

    I agree 100%.  This is similar to the photography adage "the best camera is the one you have with you."  I don't have my P9's and an amp with me all the time.  That is my #1 preferred headphone with an amp or Dragonfly Red, but if I don't have room for that, the P7 Wireless sounds really almost...

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    Yes, the drivers are angled toward the back of your head.   I just sold my Z7's after buying the P9's.  And then the P7W inspired me to sell every other headphone I have aside from the P9.  Then I picked up AirPods and now I feel like I am 100% set.  I love this trio.  P9 at my desk at work...

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    My old Z7's are on the for sale forum if you are interested. ;) Surprisingly the P9 has better/more/deeper bass. They are also more detailed and have better staging and feel more open. I was surprised when I did side by sides. It wasn't even really close. The Z7 was more comfortable, but that...

    AirPods

    The regular EarPods don't fit me well at all.  These have been in most of the day and I just forget they are in.  I don't work out, so can't help you there.   The more I listen to these the more impressed I am with their sound quality.  Not hanging with any of the mid-fi around ears I've...

    AirPods

    I stopped by the Apple Store yesterday to pick up some Beats X.  The guy said they had AirPods in stock.  I put a demo unit in while he was getting the Beats X and decided I'd give them a try as well.  My impressions of the 2 were completely the opposite of what I expected!  The Beats are going...

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    I wasn't worried about them lasting. I was worried about not enjoying headphones that cost me $900!!!

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    I picked up my second pair tonight.  No creaks and I'm again blown away by these things.  I can deal with a wire if it delivers sound like this!  Hopefully these don't start creaking.  I did spring for the warranty through Best Buy though.

    Post Your Spotify Playlist!

    Just came here looking for lists and had an idea to start a collaborative Head-Fi list.  Found some really great lists.  Right now I'm checking out this old "Reference" list.  Some really awesome stuff!!

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless - Impressions Thread

    I found a couple of threads.  I am currently working my way through this "Reference" list.  Some stuff is not for me, but they really do each bring out some phenomenal features of headphones.  I'm on my replacement P9's now (creaking ear cup on the first set) and I'm really blown away.

    Glad you enjoyed those tracks.  I am thinking we need to start making some collaborative playlists on Spotify among Head-Fi users!  I'm off to the Music section at lunch to look for such a thing.   I have not had any connection issues or lack of audio feedback for connections.  I get 1 or 2...

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless - Impressions Thread

    Wow.  Demons just sounds like a horrible mastering/recording.  Love the Way You Lie isn't too bad.  Try "Down" by Marian Hill.  It's the song in the new Apple commercial for the Airpods.  There is a strange ticking near the beginning and in a few other quiet parts of the song, but otherwise I...

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

      Only if it bothers you.  Mine creaked just moving my head and completely ruined the music.  I am swapping them for another pair today.  Reading that you have this issue and Beagle did as well is making me wonder if I should just give up on them and stick with the P7 Wireless.  I tried...

    Comparisons: 36 of the Top Closed/Portable Headphones Around

    Any plans to test the P7 Wireless?  With the original P7 still in your top 10 and looking at some of your other top 5, I'm pretty sure even without the ANC these would land in the top 5.   I really want to love those Sony's, but they completely butchered the controls.  Just give me buttons.  I...

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    Mine the left ear cup creaks when it moves. It's gotten so distracting I have stopped using them. I'm exchanging them at Best Buy and getting the geek squad warranty this time. My original P7s made the geek squad warranty pay for itself. The sound is so good though. I got the P7w over the...

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless - Impressions Thread

    I have heard it now if there is dead sound at the beginning or end of a song.  I have not found it at all distracting.   I did forget to mention another pretty big difference between the M2 and the P7 is the volume.  The P7 gets much louder.  I have always felt that the M2 does not get...

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless - Impressions Thread

    Quick initial impressions between the P7w and the M2w; very close race.  I honestly don't here much/any hiss with the P7 that some have talked of.  I wish the P7 had ANC.  It definitely makes a difference with the M2.  The P7 seems to have a bit more bass impact and a bit more clarity.  Comfort...
