I’m exposed to many of the best headphones in my job. I’ve spoken many times about my love for the Sonos Ace and how they’ve been able to fend off incoming competition from the Sony WH-1000XM6, for example. And yet, there are often times when certain pairs elude me, much to my dismay. The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e are one such pair, and they’ve now received a huge 51% discount at Amazon SG ahead of Prime Day.
I should make it clear, I have had the opportunity to hear the Px7 S2e, but I’ve never been able to own them – they’re just a little way out of my price range. However, a quick listen to them around the time they launched towards the end of 2023 has stuck with me and I’ve been yearning to own them ever since.
They sound phenomenal, deliver a hugely detailed performance, are incredibly comfortable to wear (a hugely important factor for myself), and I think they look fantastic. With this discount, they’re now in affordable territory, and so I can’t recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to massively upgrade their personal audio listening. Note, however, that this is an imported model, shipping from Amazon Germany.
A quick note on the deal: the price depends on the colour you choose. I’ve selected the lowest price above, which is for the gorgeous Ocean Blue. Anthracite Black, Cloud Grey and even the stunning Forest Green colours are all available for up to SG$14 more.
We haven’t given the Px7 S2e a full review ourselves here at TechRadar, but our esteemed colleagues at What Hi-Fi? have, and in their review they boldly state the B&Ws are “tremendously detailed for wireless headphones at this level, able to surface finer details and communicate subtle dynamic shifts to an extent that is rare for their price.”
Key to their success is upgraded digital signal processing (DSP) over their Px7 S2 predecessor – and which, from my understanding, has been upgraded even further in the recently released Px7 S3 – which injects an extra dose of fun into them to the point you’ll rarely want to take them off.
Bowers also gives you plenty of options for customisation within the companion Music app. You can tweak the EQ settings to your preference, adjust the strength of the noise cancellation and change the function of the buttons on the earcups – yes, there are reliable, physical button controls for playback here, rather than touch-sensitive gestures that can take some time to learn.
Battery life is decent at a claimed 30 hours, and you’ll get seven hours of playback time from a quick 15-minute charge, and they also support wired listening, which opens up the possibility for high-resolution audio from devices that don't support it via streaming.
I don’t expect this deal to last forever, and I’d be very surprised if the price was lowered even further when Prime Day in Singapore lands next week, so if you’ve been looking for a pair of seriously capable headphones, and a pair that will look a little more unique walking down the street, now’s the time to snap these up.
