Bowers & Wilkins PX5 Wireless Review

The Bowers & Wilkins PX5 are premium wireless on-ear headphones. They're amazingly well-built, have a great ANC system, and deliver excellent battery performance...

Good stereo imaging performance. Excellent build quality. Good battery life. Impressive noise isolation performance. Low wireless latency on mobile devices. Support for multi-device pairing. Great control scheme. Consistent audio delivery.

Sub-par microphone recording quality and mediocre noise handling capability. Mediocre stability. No microphone compatibility when using a wired connection. No EQ to modify their sound profile. Closed-off soundstage.

The Bowers & Wilkins PX5 are decent for mixed usage. They're well-built, block out plenty of ambient noise, and feature an easy-to-use control scheme, all of which makes them good for commuting. Their multi-device pairing capability and long battery...

Bowers & Wilkins PI3 review: neckband in-ears from the audiophile guys

The PI3s were B&W's first neckband-style in-ear wireless headphones. How do these stack up against the stiff competition? Here's our full review.

Same great B&W sound ; Comfortable to wear ; Attractive design

Wing system is awkward ; Average battery life

The PI3s are a true Bowers & Wilkins product in every sense. The build quality is first class, the sound is balanced, clean, and overall fantastic, and the design is typical of what we have come to expect from these guys. However, the price tag is also...
