  • Bowers & Wilkins delivers on sound quality with the PI7 but comes up short with the app, smart features, and battery life. That might be more acceptable if they didn't retail for $400 and/or if Sony's fantastic WF-1000XM4 earbuds didn't exist at a more af...

  • Audio re-transmission, Adjustable ANC, Terrific audio, Clear phone quality,
  • Expensive, The case doesn't feel as solidly built as the earphones
  • It's an overused cliche, but Bowers & Wilkins hit a home run on their first try with the PI7 in-ear true wireless headphones. Yes, they are expensive, but if you want some of the best audio available in an earphone with great call quality, long-term comfo...

  • huge drivers deliver bold, full-bodied sound, especially bass, I've never used big ANC buds this comfortable to wear, With multi-point connection, wireless charging, and a Bluetooth transmitter in the case, these have lots of bells and whistles
  • This set's active noise cancellation is well below industry standard, Bluetooth connection is spotty and short-ranged, especially when using the case's transmitter, There isn't any. Also no volume controls, At $400, the PI7 just can't compete with high-en
  • Bowsers & Wilkins PI7 earbuds5/10No, sorry. The B&W PI7 sound great, they're comfy, and it has an eye-catching feature in its Bluetooth transmitter. It's just too darned expensive to justify given its poor noise cancellation, connection woes, and lack of...

  • Warm, detailed, audiophile sound you won't find in most true wireless headphones, Balanced-armature drivers, plus dedicated amps for each driver, AptX Adaptive codec for 24-bit/48kHz streaming, Ingenious relay streaming from 3.5mm analog or USB digital so
  • Incompatible with some high-res digital audio players (firmware fix is in the works), Unequal battery drain between the two ear buds
  • Has Bowers & Wilkins achieved its goal of a building a true wireless in-ear headphone that doesn't compromise sound quality for convenience? In large part, yes. If you're a serious music lover who can put up with a couple of kinks—especially as related to...

  • The PI7 gives its competition a run for their money in the world of true wireless earbuds. This is a challenging market to stand out in, and in terms of sound quality, the PI7 put up a good fight, conveying a substantial level of cleanliness without edgin...

  • Abstract:  The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 noise-cancelling true wireless earphones have been in the works for quite a while, but 2020 being what it was, they faced multiple delays. Now that they're finally here, we must tackle the question we've been pondering for months...

  • Stunning sound, Small and comfortable design, Excellent active noise cancellation, Case doubles as a Bluetooth transmitter
  • Battery life could be better, No equaliser in companion app
