hey this is David Carr night from cnet.com and this is a quick look at Bowers & Wilkins $400 p7 Wireless which came out in 2016 is one of the swankier wireless headphones available I like the wired p7 and this model looks a lot like that one and has the same excellent build quality and premium design with leather covered ear pads and a sturdy metal infused headband in case you're wondering even though it's wireless it does come with a wire in case you want to go wired and you will get a touch better sound using that wire what's likable about these headphones is that after a little break-in period they offer a tight seal around your ears delivering good passive noise isolation but they don't put too much pressure on your head while they're characterized as mobile headphones they're fairly beefy weighing in at 318 grams or 28 grams more than the wired p7 weighs the headphones fold up but not flat into an included Halfmoon shaped carrying case battery life is rated at 17 hours of playback that's very good but not fantastic for this type of full-size over-the-ear wireless headphone I didn't have any trouble pairing and repairing the headphones with an iPhone 6s in Galaxy s7 edge overall the headphones were a pleasure to use ro bluetooth headphones sound quality's excellent there's lots of bass and the headphone definitely goes deep but may lack a little bit of punch for some folks hours and Wilkins headphones tend to be a touch warmer and more laid-back than some models from Bose Sony and Sennheiser in this price range if you're a detail hound this one may not be for you that quibble aside the p7 Wireless is an excellent wireless headphone that has the look feel and sound of a premium wireless headphone it certainly recommendable it does face a lot of competition in this price range and I can't tell you it's my clear choice over the Sennheiser momentum Wireless Bose QuietComfort 35 particularly if you're looking for something a little lighter with active noise-cancelling capabilities
