The new Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 features a brand new high resolution drive unit angled within each earcup to provide a more immersive sound stage. I was thrilled to see the new Px7S2 have a new active noise canceling system with an updated microphone set. My biggest complaint about the original Px7 was that the noise cancellation wasn’t as good as the competition.
Bowers & Wilkins has also streamlined the design, improved fit and upgraded materials including new memory foam earcups. The app is also refined with user-adjustable EQ and voice assistant support. The Bowers & Wilkins press release states:
