Design & Fit of the Bowers & Wilkins PX7 Headphones
The PX7 headphones are a delight to the eyes, they look and feel quite premium, which given for the price is expected, the earphone cups swivel smoothly, and there is a nice branding of the Bowers and Wilkins on the headphones
The headphones feel a bit heavy on the head and tight on your ears, but that is due to the high-quality build materials used, but overall they feel comfortable, the headband is flexible and feels solid.
In terms of Fit, the PX7 fits very well, these would one of the most comfortable headphones that we have used till now, the earpads are super soft, and we used these headphones regularly for a long time [4-5] Hours continuously and still, we didn’t feel any discomfort.
The Volume, Active noise cancellation, and Power buttons are tactile and give good feedback, plus the ports are made well, and the USB- C charger fits in perfectly.
Audio Quality, Microphone & Sound Isolation on the PX7
The Audio output via the PX7 headphones is super loud and clear even at full volume levels, We also noticed the sound balance is extremely good, although it has great bass, in our opinion we felt the treble could have been a bit better by default but, that’s, not a big deal at all, we can adjust the sound to your liking on your phone and laptop Equalizer and you are good to go.
We listened to a few 80s pop and early 2000s rap music [Eminem songs and Backstreet Boys] and the recent ED Sheeran songs, these albums were a delight to hear on these headphones. These headphones are great for day-to-day general usage scenarios and also your occasional Hi-FI music sessions on those rainy evenings.
Speaking about the microphone, these were good enough for your regular phone and Web Calls, The Audio while making and receiving calls was loud and clear. The Sound Isolation on these headphones is good enough if you are in a quiet or less noisy environment. The Sound isolation is fair in our opinion, the most common sounds were cut off up to a great extent, noises such as Fans, airplanes and general hiss were cut out and we only the sounds on the headphones.
Operations & Battery Life on the PX7 Headphones
Operating the headphones is very simple, you have the buttons on the bottom of the earcup, through which you can control these headphones easily. The Buttons are tactile and give good feedback while pressing them.
Using the buttons you can perform certain operations like increasing the volume, playing/pausing music, accepting a call, etc. Using these earphones, We got around 30 hours of battery life without the active noise isolation with the volume levels at 70 percent, and around 24 hours of usage with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) turned on at the same 70 Percent volumes.
Also, charging the headphones for 10 mins gave us around 4 hours of battery life, which is quiet as, you can anytime quickly charge your headphones and be good to go for a short trip.
