Headphones — B&W (Bowers & Wilkins) Px7 S2e

The Px7 S2e is a wireless over-ear headphone from Bowers & Wilkins, an updated edition of the Px7 S2 in the brand's wireless headphone range. B&W has built its wireless headphone lineup as a genuine complement to its core loudspeaker business, applying similar acoustic engineering priorities to a portable format.

Position in line

It sits below the Px8 in B&W's wireless over-ear hierarchy, near the standard Px7 S2 which it updates. This positioning as an incremental update to the Px7 S2 suggests B&W has refined the platform based on feedback or newer component availability since the original Px7 S2's release, rather than launching an entirely new design.

Key specs that matter

Weight is 307 g, a moderate figure for a closed over-ear wireless headphone, comfortable for extended daily wear without becoming fatiguing over a typical commute or workday.

Sound and use context

As a closed dynamic-driver wireless design, expect isolation from outside noise consistent with the sealed over-ear format B&W uses across its Px range - a sensible choice for commuting or shared office spaces where blocking ambient noise matters.

Pairing

As a wireless design it pairs directly with any Bluetooth source; a cable connection is typically also available for wired use, giving flexibility if battery life runs out during an extended listening session.

Alternatives

The Px8 sits above this model in B&W's range with a higher-tier build and finish. The standard Px7 S2 is the model this edition updates, worth checking current pricing and availability between the two before assuming the newer edition is automatically the better value. B&W own app typically offers useful EQ and feature customisation worth exploring after initial setup, and buyers should check whether this specific edition supports any features the original Px7 S2 lacked before assuming full feature parity between the two. Case build quality and included accessories are also worth comparing directly against the standard Px7 S2 before paying any price difference. Battery life and charging speed are also worth confirming directly, since these practical details vary more between generations than the core driver technology typically does. Overall this remains a sensible, incremental upgrade for anyone already drawn to the Px7 platform. A dealer comparison against the Px8 also helps clarify whether the higher tier is worth the price step
