This is exactly my question as well?is the P7W a worthy purchase now for $350 AUD brand new? Beside the sound, the technology is a bit aged now and I’m afraid of the battery lifetime as well. I was really hopping that the PX7 was going to be a worthy successor but you are said that they didn’t sound good? There are very limited reviews of the P7X on YouTube but the guy put it on top of all the other headphones! What was your expressive with them?

They don't make me 'move'. There is not as much excitement or energy with them. They look awkward as well and have major quality control problems. No headphone made me move to the music like the P7W did. The 1000xm3 are fine and great at N/C which i will continue to use for traveling on planes and busses. But for walking around town, listening at home and at the office I'm going with P7W. The P7W have been so good that 4 years later no bluetooth headphone can come close to the sound quality these have. Even from the same company. That says a lot.

Well, that is certainly good to know, thanks! since you have experience with P7W, would you recommend it for daily commute on the train etc? I don't care about the NC is Sound Quality is as advertised for P7W, however, I mostly use my headphones when I get out of the house, spend an hour on the train and watch movies and listen to music! so, just wondering if they tick that box or not! again, I know they are not as comfy as XM3 or Bosem but if they are manageable and have much better sound, then that should be OK.

If you don't care about N/C and not overly worried about Comfort these are defiantly the best bluetooth headphones. Comfort is just ok, i wouldn't reccomond them for long periods

Comfort is just ok, i wouldn't necessarily recommend them for long listening sessions. Id use to get a pinch on the crown of my head after listening for more than two hours or so, but this can be easily fixed by adjusting the headband a tiny bit. not a big deal. They are also great for watching movies, the sound quality is very similar to what you would hear in theatres. You feel like you're actually there.

I think P7 W is very comfortable. I would say it's excellent. P9 Signature on the other hand was terrible!

I MISS MY OLD P7W headphones and now I cannot find them anywhere. Tried the new PX5 but the sound is awful.

Have you tried the PX7?

 

[Brava27]

Have you tried the PX7?

Nope, I will try them later at the store and go from there. The PX5 had 0 bass compared to the P7W

Can you let us know what you think and how they compare to the P7W?

This is obviously about personal preference ultimately, but by chance does anyone have any favorite iPhone EQ settings with these particular headphones? As I posted upthread, I haven't used any EQ in the 9 years I've had iPhones, but the bass-heavy sound with the P7W is disruptive for me with some albums. Vocals in particular are something I want to hear clearly.

I've tried Bass Reducer but it takes out a little too much, and the midrange sounds a little thin. Spoken Word seems a little better on this front but also sounds too "EQ'd" sometimes. To my surprise, the Late Night EQ has an odd appeal to it, but my understanding is that it just compresses everything and it certainly doesn't sound natural.

This.

Sorry If I resurrected an old post. But I have been testing this Late Night EQ option, and quickly figured this works as a system wide option, works for youtube and even tidal, and it does not compress too much.

Have you tried any of the Master & Dynamic models?

Well, I am starting to have an issue with my P7Ws. They are charged 100%, I take my hour walk and in about 20 minutes, they cut off. The first time, I couldn't turn them on again.
I charged them for hours and used them on my next walk and they cut off after around 30 minutes.
I turned them on the next day and it says 100% charged.
Not sure if it is a battery issue.
One good, they work great passive but it is nice to have it wireless.

It does sound like a possible battery issue. Good thing about the wired connectivity being well done. That is my one concern with wireless where the batteries aren't easily replaced. It becomes an environmental issue if people are just getting three or four years out of them and then discarding them. I used to coordinate a pretty busy little electronic waste drop-off depot and man is there ever a great deal of waste that is only marginally recyclable. Hate the idea of disposable headphones which is why I loved the Bang & Oulfsen designs that featured user replaceable batteries. I very much enjoyed the sound signature of the H7 that I owned, lovely headphone in general, but it couldn't play loud enough for me which was mostly problematic on quieter, more dynamic recordings.

Love my P7W still. When I had a warranty claim last year because of the volumn+ button not working, I was given the option to "upgrade" to the PX7 with no extra charge as the P7W were discontinued. After reading some reviews of the PX7, I opted to stay with the P7W. I also have a pair of Sony XM3 for the office and while the sony has one of the best ANC capability at the moment, the sound quality does not come close to the P7W.

I've seen people do a diy battery replacement on the P7W, if all fails we can still enjoy the P7W with a real W

It's crazy after all this time the B&W P7W is still my favorite wireless headphone. For sound quality alone nothing I've heard since it was introduced has topped it.
