Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 Review

Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).

Scoring IP54, the Bowers & Wilkins PI7's rating is read as, the first value of 5 denotes that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and the second number of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have a weight of 50g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.

True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Bowers & Wilkins PI7 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables.

Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. ANC makes use of advanced technology to actively counter noise.

ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.

The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.

Bowers & Wilkins PI7 sit well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out at the same. Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have a unit size of 9.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size determines the sound produced by the earbuds.

Bowers & Wilkins PI7's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Bowers & Wilkins PI7's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. The Bowers & Wilkins PI7's battery life is 4.5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.

A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
