S Bowers & Wilkins refined the PX7 S3 headphones by enhancing their design to be slimmer and lighter while delivering a richer, more robust sound. Building on the acclaimed predecessor—recognized as the most attractive wireless noise-canceling headphones of its time—this model features a redesigned driver system that offers improved resonance and clarity without compromising the elegant aesthetic. The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S3 are over-ear headphones featuring a closed-back design that effectively reduces ambient noise. They offer a lightweight, streamlined build compared to the previous PX7 generation. Equipped with Bluetooth 5.3, these headphones support wireless music and calls, with aptX™ Lossless, aptX HD, and AAC codecs ensuring high-fidelity streaming. The aptX Adaptive codec dynamically balances audio quality and latency. Multi-point connectivity allows simultaneous pairing with two devices. Constructed from premium materials such as ballistic nylon fabric, lightweight polymer, aluminum, and fine leather, they house 40mm biocellulose drivers inspired by B&W’s 700-series speakers, delivering spacious, detailed sound with clarity and tactile bass. The redesigned driver chassis includes a new voice coil, suspension, magnet, and a dedicated discrete headphone amplifier for precise power and damping. Adaptive digital hybrid noise cancellation uses an eight-microphone system to minimize external noise without compromising audio quality. Controls include an earcup button to toggle noise cancellation levels and ambient pass-through mode, which lets in surrounding sounds. The Bowers & Wilkins Music app, available for Apple® and Android™, enables manual adjustment of noise cancellation and sound settings, as well as customization of on-ear button functions.
