If you're not going to amp it, I think the PX will sound better than the P7.

There will be a battery icon on whatever device you're connected to.

As for battery, sounds more likely you'll wear out the headband before the battery.

I'll be using it wired 99.9% of the time so relying on the phones themselves for the battery levels. Also it seems the band on the PX looks more durable than the P7 design.

Why would you use these headphones 99% wired? I mean, you have so many more options of other headphones that are not bluetooth and probably offer better quality sound too.

Just a personal choice tbh. And I love the B&W sound quality/signature, and the build quality/design.

There's always the P9 if you want the ultimate B&W experience without getting their 800 series speakers.

Also the PX can be wired via USB -C... that should bypass your computer soundcard and send the signal directly to the PX's internal dac/ amp.

Haha I wish, it's a little out of my budget. Might have tried to stretch it if they had it in black!

I didn't like the color of the P9 at first, but the brown leather probably does a good job at matching the walnut finish of the Eames lounge recliner chair that one would be sitting in while enjoying the P9's. (I don't have P9's or an Eames lounge chair unfortunately)

I would like to know about the sound signature of this particular pair. How is it for classical/acoustic ? Because generally B&W is more bass oriented and lacks in treble but not sure about the PX.

PX is much more neutral with a wide soundstage and great instrument separation. You should try it yourself.

I really want to try it but I couldn't find a store that has it. If someone knows a place in Greater London please do let me know.

Half of november they will be available in a lot of stores.

According to their website, Bay Bloor Radio doesn't have them in stock (listed as coming soon), although I haven't been in store to check. I'll try later this week. I can't find any other Canadian retailer that actually has them (Amazon.ca has them listen as shipping within 2-4 weeks. I wouldn't call that readily in stock).

Yeah even though bbr says coming soon, you can call and ask if they have them in stock.

Interesting. I just received a notification on the app that new PX firmware is available literally 10 minutes ago.

Good to know. I just purchased off Amazon, although it seems that it will be some time before they'll arrive. I might pop into Bay-Bloor Radio to see if I can pick them up and cancel my Amazon order.

Seems like all the inital reports were right. Firmware update at the beginning of November. Have you had a chance to test it out yet? Is the "Smart" features working more as intended? Anything else you notice off the bat?
