Bowers & Wilkins introduces the all-new Px7 S3, its most advanced wireless headphone yet
Building on the multi-award-winning pedigree of the Px7 S2e, the new Px7 S3 is the most advanced and capable wireless headphone the brand has yet made
Re-engineered drive units, Qualcomm aptXTM Adaptive 24/96, aptXTM Lossless and dedicated headphone amplifiers combine to deliver exceptional sound quality.
Greatly upgraded active noise cancellation features new eight-microphone configuration for outstanding ANC performance and optimised call quality.
All-new design features slimmer profile, improved fit, upgraded materials and superior comfort, including memory foam ear cups for effortless all-day listening.
Improved Music app features include user-adjustable five-band EQ with preset memory, plus support for spatial audio.
Bowers & Wilkins is proud to introduce the latest generation of its critically acclaimed headphones: the all-new Px7 S3. With a comprehensively re-imagined industrial design that elevates the brand’s iconic design DNA to new heights in the premium headphone category, the Px7 S3 is designed to deliver the next level of Bowers & Wilkins performance, comfort, and style.
Px7 S3’s all-new design and profile has been carefully engineered for comfortable, extended listening, with a notably slimmer form than previous models – even the new carry case is more compact and easier to fit into your bag. The new headband and redesigned arm mechanism ensure the headphones fit even closer to your head, while luxurious earpads with improved memory foam perfectly encapsulate and cushion your ears for ultimate comfort, however long you are listening.
Sound taken to new heights
Almost every element in the Px7 S3s design is new: its 40mm biocellulose drive units feature a redesigned and improved chassis, voice coil, suspension, and magnet, with only the cone material itself carrying over from the previous generation of headphones. The comprehensively redesigned drive units deliver lower coloration and distortion, improved resolution, and superior dynamics. These are carefully angled to the listener’s ears to ensure a consistent distance from every point across the surface of each driver to each ear, ensuring better imaging and stereo spaciousness.
For the first time in a Bowers & Wilkins over-ear headphone, these high-resolution drive units are powered by a dedicated, discrete headphone amplifier. This provides notably more scale and energy to the sound, ensuring Px7 S3 is as dynamic and exciting as it is accurate and realistic to listen to.
The Px7 S3 includes both aptXTM Adaptive 24/96 wireless technology and the latest Qualcomm innovation, aptX Lossless. Both technologies can automatically optimise wireless music transmission from compatible phones, tablets and computers, ensuring the best possible sound quality with high-resolution music streaming services such as Qobuz and TIDAL - also streamed directly from the Music app.
Block out the world
The Px7 S3 features the most powerful and effective active noise cancelling technology the brand has ever developed. This chosen approach carefully balances effective cancellation of unwanted noise while doing no harm to the musicality of the performance – and in this new generation of headphones, the results are simply exceptional.
Using a proprietary Bowers & Wilkins-developed platform, Px7 S3 features eight high-performance microphones, carefully located around the periphery of each ear cup and working together to deliver the best results.
Enhanced features
The Px7 S3 offers 30 hours of battery life with full noise cancellation on, while a 15-minute quick recharge is sufficient to provide up to seven hours of additional listening time.
Listeners can now opt to fine-tune their personal sound style through an adjustable five-band EQ, complete with the option to store their preferred settings as easily accessible presets - all configured within the brand’s Music app. If preferred, the EQ option can be bypassed by selecting the True Sound mode, which represents the preferred audio tuning selected by the acoustic team at the Southwater Research Establishment (SRE).
Physical controls on each earcup are also included and the revised button layout is more intuitive to use than ever.
For the first time in a Bowers & Wilkins headphone, Px7 S3 will offer support for spatial audio. In line with the brand’s True Sound philosophy, the engineers at SRE have developed a proprietary audio processing technology designed to give listeners a realistic sense of acoustic space and a natural, yet immersive, experience with spatial audio.
In another first for Bowers & Wilkins, Px7 S3 will also offer support for Bluetooth® LE Audio, complete with AuracastTM broadcast functionality, enabling a single audio source to broadcast to an unlimited number of receiving headphones. Both of these new technologies will be rolled out as an over-the-air update later this year.
Premium looks, premium finish
Px7 S3 is available in three elegant finishes: Anthracite Black, Indigo Blue and Canvas White, each with complementary detailing. To ensure long-term pride of ownership, Bowers & Wilkins has engineered the new design so that both ear cushions and headband are replaceable by trained service engineers.
The all-new Px7 S3 is available from bowerswilkins.com and select third party retailers, priced at £399.
