Great review. Having also reviewed and rated the Sennheiser Momentum Wireless (M3), how would you say the PX7 compares in sound quality, comfort and noise cancelling (from memory, unless you bought/kept some M3s)?
'Performance in keeping with headphones in the £150 - £200 price range'.
Call me a traditionalist but if I spent twice that much I'd be expecting better.
But then it's a B&W product so the laws of consumer logic no longer apply, and no doubt it will find it's demographic in folks who fail the 'more money/sense' test.
These are fantastic. Best Bluetooth headphones i have listened to and had all the flagships from Bose, Sony, Sennheiser. 9/10.
Yes. You can even see the second connection window in one of the app screenshots.
I bought a new pair of B&W 601 S2's twenty years ago for £250. Still working perfectly, still sounding great. Do I pass the more money/sense test?'Performance in keeping with headphones in the £150 - £200 price range'.

Good review. I had some older P5's and loved the sound quality. I tried the original PX and was really impressed with the sound. I fly a lot and nearly bought a pair as they sounded better than the P5's and had the added functionality of NC.
In the end, I bought the P7's. They sound better than the P5 and PX (so it would be good to get a comparison of the P7 vs PX7 for sound) but as I also use an FiiO amp, I prefer wired. I also don't like having too many devices that I have to charge. I'd rather have wired and know they will work every time I pick them up. Do the PX7 come with a wire in the box that you can use instead of the wireless option?
As much as I love the sound I get from my setup, I'm still tempted with these for the NC features. If they sound as good as the P7's do when not in NC mode then I might end up swapping over.
My big concern with the PX7s is that, like the PX, they cannot be used passively and wired.E
Thanks for the review - looking to demo some headphones next month at the Bristol hifi show.
