While I might be exposed to many of the best headphones in my job, if money were no object, I’d be hitting on a pair of Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 over-ears without hesitation. And that’s without ever actually holding a pair in my hands, let alone listening to them.
So I’m thrilled to see that they’ve had their price slashed by up to 45% (depending on the colour) at Amazon SG for Prime Day, making them an easy recommendation for anyone seeking a premium set of cans.
So, why am I so confident recommending them, having not actually heard them myself? My complete and utter trust in Simon Lucas, who published our Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 review. Not only did he heap praise on the headphones themselves, but he went one step further and claimed they were one of the company’s “very best products when judged on a pound-for-pound basis”.
B&W is a hi-fi brand steeped in history and really does know a thing or two about producing high-end audio products. All its expertise has trickled down into these over-ears, allowing them to deliver a wonderfully balanced sound profile, and are able to unearth extreme amounts of detail from recordings.
They’re well-specced when it comes to features too, with support for higher quality aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless audio codecs, 30 hours of battery life and great, but not quite class-leading, active noise cancellation.
And, as you’d hope from a pair of headphones that normally retail for SG$699, they look and feel like they’re worth every dollar, especially in the Frost Blue colour that receives the biggest discount — Indigo Blue and Canvas White colours are available for an extra premium.
I don’t expect these deals to last forever, and they’ll very likely come to an end when Prime Day in Singapore finishes at 11.59pm SGT on Friday, June 26, 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 — do note that all pairs are shipped and sold from Amazon Germany, so may take a bit to arrive at your door.
