Bowers & Wilkins has launched the Px7 S2e, an evolved edition of its active noise-cancelling wireless headphones.
The key to the Px7 S2e’s new sound quality is an upgraded DSP (Digital Signal Processing) engine, optimized by Bowers & Wilkins to deliver exceptional performance with all types of streamed music, including 24-bit high-resolution sound quality from suitable streaming services. The upgraded DSP has also given Bowers & Wilkins engineers the opportunity to retune the Px7 S2e’s acoustic platform to deliver greater detail, dynamics, and spaciousness.
The Px7 S2e continues to use custom-designed 40mm drive units, specifically created to suit the requirements of headphone listening. The drivers offer an ultra-fast response while remaining low in distortion, resulting in a more accurate presentation. The drive units are also carefully angled inside each earcup to ensure a consistent distance relative to the listener’s ear from every point across the surface of each driver, again producing a more natural and immersive soundstage.
Px7 S2e combines its powerful upgraded DSP and high-performance drive unit configuration with Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive wireless technology to automatically optimize wireless music transmission from compatible phones, tablets and computers. USB-C and 3.5mm cable connections are also supported, with both cable types included in the carry case that accompanies the product.
The Px7 S2e uses Bowers & Wilkins-optimized noise cancellation technology to effectively shut out unwanted noise without harming musicality. Six high-performance microphones work together to deliver the best results: two measure the output of each drive unit, two react to ambient noise from the outside world and two provide outstanding voice clarity with enhanced noise suppression for crystal-clear calls. Careful positioning and angling of those microphones enhances performance even in the noisiest environments.
The Px7 S2e is available in four premium finishes: Anthracite Black, Ocean Blue, Cloud Grey, and Forest Green, with all models featuring revised detailing coupled to high-quality materials, carefully designed for comfortable, extended listening. The new model retains its slim overall shape, lightweight, and memory foam earpads.
Px7 S2e is on sale now for $399 from the Bowers & Wilkins website and select retailers.
