The Pi7 S2 is a flagship true wireless earbud from Bowers & Wilkins, sitting above the brand's Pi6 within the same true-wireless catalogue, sharing similar chassis proportions with a slightly heavier charging case. The Pi7 S2 brings B&W's most accomplished current wireless earbud engineering to a premium closed, true-wireless format.

Key specs that matter

The transducer uses dynamic driver technology in a closed, true-wireless (TWC) configuration with wireless connectivity. Note - the source database entry lists per-earbud weight as 0.07kg (70g), matching the Pi6's figure and appearing notably heavy for a true wireless earbud compared with typical values in this category, with the case weight at 0.47kg (470g); buyers should confirm exact weight figures directly with Bowers & Wilkins or an authorised dealer given this apparent anomaly shared with the Pi6.

Sound and use context

Expect the refined, premium tonal character Bowers & Wilkins' broader loudspeaker and headphone heritage is known for, delivered here at the brand's flagship current true-wireless tier.

Pairing

As a true wireless earbud, the Pi7 S2 pairs directly with any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet or computer without needing a separate amplifier or DAC.

Alternatives

Bowers & Wilkins' own Pi6 sits below this flagship model at a more accessible price point sharing similar core technology, worth considering instead if the Pi7 S2's flagship positioning exceeds what a specific budget requires, pending weight confirmation given the noted data anomaly.
