Bowers & Wilkins PX7 noise-cancelling over ear headphones
thanks for the tips, very much appreciated. I thought 3.5mm would retain the better quality than bluetooth btw Joe Hisaishi has a whole mastered quality album on Tidal https://tidal.com/browse/album/131721144- chriscym

Bowers & Wilkins PX7 noise-cancelling over ear headphones
I have a try with Tidal, found the same song but with different album , mastered copy , no distortion. Found the same album in Spotify as well no distortion, I'm glad the earlier problem was due to poor quality record https://tidal.com/track/131721170- chriscym

Thanks for your reply Asspirin & Pro-Jules, usually I listen at 80% even at 80% there are some noticeable distortion so I put at 100% is more noticeable. As some pointed out that PX7 at 100% isnt loud enough for some, for me 80% is just nice. I hope its just an artifact issue.- chriscym

same here I am using PX7 with pixel 4xl. I used to have Pixel 2xl, noticeable difference is the bluetooth 5.0 support, I can get slightly more range without losing bluetooth connection- chriscym

as I have guess, the heat somehow affected the sensors, but i am surpised they didnt use proximity sensor instead using a similar tech like in touch screen- chriscym

when the sensors stop working, did u feel if its warm or probably there is sweat while the heaphone is still on? I live in tropical country , I notice the sensor stop working during when its warm and a bit of sweat. I am just guessing if that could be the case.- chriscym

I had the same issue as yours. I think it could be a design flaw. My first pair of PX7 work better with the left sensor than the right, my 2nd pair is quite consistent, but like u said the sensor stop working after some time wearing, but i notice that if heat built up the sensor is less...- chriscym

thanks I have yet to update to firmware 1.1. I will try tidal and see if the same issue happen. It sounds like a broken driver on certain frequencies , I hope its just software.- chriscym

Yes my very first unit of PX7 had this problem , but the 2nd unit I got doesn't seem to have this at least it is working consistently. I thought that maybe some respiration block the sensor, or I could be wrong- chriscym

I gotten a 1 - 1 exchange from B&W yesterday, they replace the ear pads though for hygiene purpose, I guess they will take the old set back to UK, refurbish and resale. The clicking noise is gone, but the ANC button is not as responsive / precise than the previous one, I tried their demo set it...- chriscym

I think your issue is with ANC , but my issue is not with the sound, even power off there is the clicking noise. It has something to do with the loose mechanism inside the padding or driver- chriscym
