Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e with 24-bit DSP and 30h Playback Time

Bowers & Wilkins introduces the Px7 S2e, the successor to the Px7 S2, intending to deliver even superior sound quality thanks to its brand-new 24-bit DSP. These over-ear noise-canceling headphones, the Px7 S2e, continue to offer active noise cancellation, dynamic 40-millimeter drivers, and an impressive 30-hour battery life.

At first glance, the brand-new Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e may appear remarkably similar to its predecessor, with identical specifications on the datasheet. However, the “evolved” version of these headphones now incorporates a new Digital Signal Processor (DSP) enriched with technologies from the high-end Bowers & Wilkins Px8 (approx. $659 / £599 on Amazon).

With this advanced signal processing, Bowers & Wilkins anticipates significant enhancements in audio quality. To fully leverage 24-bit music, these headphones support Qualcomm aptX HD and aptX Adaptive, in addition to AAC and SBC codecs. You can also connect these headphones via USB-C or AUX, with suitable cables included.

The new Bowers & Wilkins over ear noise cancelling headphones retains the dynamic biocellulose drivers with a 40-millimeter diameter from the previous model, as well as the six built-in microphones, four of which are dedicated to active noise cancellation (ANC).

The new Bowers & Wilkins over ear noise cancelling headphones also feature a transparency mode and a convenient wear sensor that automatically pauses playback when the Px7 S2e is removed. Bowers & Wilkins promises up to 30 hours of battery life with ANC activated, and recharging is easily done via USB-C. For personalized sound adjustments, you can utilize the associated smartphone app’s equalizer.
