How many times can the battery be recharged on the P7 Wireless?
What happens when the battery can't be recharged anymore?
For people that have tried both the P7 Wired and the P7 Wireless, how would you compare the sound?
(I got the P7 2 years ago, not looking to get another headphone, but am just curious about this new model).
The P7 wireless is widely considered to sound better than the wired. The battery dying would require you replace it yourself somehow, or just use the headphone wired. The battery cycle counts are usually quite generous and likely we bore or sell the headphone long before that happens, but it is always a consideration. That was one big plus with the Beoplay H7, removable battery.
Thanks for the response.
Why does the P7 wireless sound better than the P7 wired? Was something done differently?
When using the P7 wireless, does it sound the same whether using wireless or wired mode?
Thanks for the info on the Beoplay H7.
I'm the type of person that once I have something, and I like the functionality, I don't look for something else unless it breaks. I had the same set of headphones for 14 years before the headband cracked. I then bought a different headphone, and only got something else 4.5 years later when the cable shorted and I couldn't hear vocals anymore (and it wasn't a headphone with a replaceable cable). I had the same computer speakers for 16 years and only got something else once the subwoofer started rattling. When I do get something else, I do spend time researching (like probably a lot of people on here) and will ask others' opinions too. I went on a four year run with the same cell phone.
For me, by the time I'd be in position to sell something, it wouldn't be worth much because of how old it is.
Maybe some of the reason I don't get new things as quickly is because it takes weeks or months of research before I decide what to get, and I might try and compare a few products before I decide which one. I don't want to go through that too often. Or maybe it's also because I just like what I have, and want to focus my attention on other things.
Do you have any idea what the battery cycle count might be for the P7? If not, I'll probably email Bowers & Wilkins and ask. I'm just curious how it compares. I'd probably then do the same for the Beoplay H7, to compare with it.
Found this for the Beoplay H7 battery:

400 charges if drained completely, to a few thousand charges if partially discharged and then recharged fully.
