nothing beats the Bose for noise cancelling alone.so here comes the B&W PX .... looks and feels premium, excellent sound, a bit more open then the P7 wireless, the noise cancelling is very good, not up to the Bose standards, but much better than the B&O
-
High is very clean but a tiny bit harsh on vocal when it goes louder, volume it down a little fixes it.
-
My problem is that in initial use of the headphones I found the sensors to be perhaps a bit too sensitive -- I was enjoying some streaming tunes and while doing so I turned my head from side to side a bit to try to see if someone else in the office needed my assistance and as I did so the audio cut out.
-
Another drawback is that these leak sound quite a bit
-
Can get a bit uncomfortable with prolonged use
-
The sensor still seems to be a bit too sensitive, so it turns off and on quite a few times in the first 10 or 15 minutes of wearing, but then it seems to settle in.
-
I really tried to break them in, wearing them for a few days to see if the cups would soften or the tension would relax a bit, but no
-
Sure enough, after perhaps less than a day, the tips crushed down a bit to where they are now soft and cushy, with a luxurious feel, and very comfortable wearing for extended periods (If it helps, I have average sized ears and a 7 1/4 hat
-
Like others have noted, there is a bit of break-in period before you experience that lush, exceptional sound quality
-
Initially I was skeptical on the comfort as it hurt a bit
-
I have the space grey version, which allows it to be even more minimalistic, but there is also a blue and gold variant that is a bit more exuberant if that’s your thing
-
The sound is better with the noise cancelling off (the mids suffer a bit with the NC) but it's better the B&W PX and the Bose QC35 (with noise cancelling on)
-

-
They took a bit to break in, comfort-wise, but I've had no issues after the first few days - I wear glasses with flexible frames so they've never posed a problem.
-
The P7 Wireless bass was not only rather boosted too much, but was a tad bit soft and loose in its impact which is another bad character to have in bass
-
Automatic detection works well, connecting to new Bluetooth devices took a few attempts to discover which button to hold, just a bit fiddly at first until you know what to
-
they should have given a hard caseSensitivity sensor ( i'm not a fan of it) is a bit weak, but firmware updates improves on it
-
Cons:- press a bit too hard on the head,
-
They have a good sound but not as clear as this b&w px
-
and it shows B&W's commitment to the future.4.
-
Heavy headphones and the sound just wasn't what I was looking for--it just wasn't "expansive like the B&O beoplay headphones; although the noise cancelling feature is better than the B&Os, so there's that to consider; however, the sound quality in noise cancelling mode isn't as good as the B&O Beoplays, so that's an issue too.
-
the B&W P7's sound very good, but doesn't have noise cancelling and its a little too tight on my
-
Despite having been a loyal B&W client for decades, I'm getting no joy from B&W support.
-
I haven't used it with the dragonfly yet, but I don't think you can bypass the internal circuitry on these headphones, meaning, there is no point using an external DAC.... but the B&W headphones are very good
-
The B&W's so far have been far superior to the Bose
-
The construction of B&W is much more solid, they feel sturdy in your hands.
-
The case is quite the surprise in the otherwise normally flawless B&W product experience, given these are travel headphones
-
ANC is not as good as the Bose QC35 but still decent, level of ANC can be changed in the (barren) B&W app
-
I felt that the high was not as clear as I
-
n’t want to disturb or be disturbed by anyone around you
-
n’t sound that good.
