Bowers & Wilkins' PX wireless noise-cancelling headphone looks great

2017-10-03
this is the px Bowers & Wilkins first wireless noise cancelling headphone and first noise cancelling headphone of any kind available in two color options has got that sleek sophisticated design that BMW headphones are known for with some metal parts and ballistic nylon on the ear cups they feel quite sturdy and I liked how their memory foam equipped ear pads adhere magnetically and are easily replaceable they cost $400 and are comfortable to wear though they're not as light or quite as comfortable as Bose as quiet comfort 35s like earlier BMW headphones the PX comes with a quilted carrying case and a cable for listening in Wired mode so you can plug into an in-flight entertainment system it's worth noting that this headphone charges via USB C and as battery life is rated at 22 hours with Wireless and noise cancelling turned on that's right there with competing models from both Sony and beats on the back side of the right ear cup there's an integrated remote and I liked how the middle multifunction button is raised higher than the volume controls which lets you operate the remote by feel alone BMWs adaptive noise cancelling isn't quite as strong as the noise cancelling on the bose qc25 but using the free companion app for iOS and Android devices you can toggle through three levels of noise cancellation based on the environment you're in which is nice to maximize sound quality you can turn off noise cancelling altogether through the app or by hitting a button on the right ear cup and you can also adjust the level pass through sound so you can hear people talking to you better the other feature worth mentioning is the auto play and auto pause feature if you pull an ear cup off your ear your music pauses and then resumes as soon as you put the ear cup back on your ear the P X's drivers are the same angle drivers previously found in BMWs $900 p9 headphone and that angle design is supposed to create a more convincing soundstage overall I did think this headphone sounded pretty open and had good clarity and natural sounding mids the bass goes deep but I wouldn't say it's super punchy or highly defined so no it doesn't blow away the competition rip Sony bows and beats but it does sound excellent for a while noise cancelling headphone and is a strong contender in this price glass
