IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of 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 of liquids 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 because lighter devices are easier to move with.
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Bowers & Wilkins PI7 are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds together. Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds. The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 stay well in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down your environment noise while preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same. The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound produced by the device. The Bowers & Wilkins PI7's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. Bowers & Wilkins PI7's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7's battery life is 4.5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and Bowers & Wilkins PI7's case has a full charge of 18 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself. It requires 3 hours to fully charge the Bowers & Wilkins PI7's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
The Bowers & Wilkins PI7, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you just put down on a compatible charging pad. Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery.
Its lights display the charging status of your earbuds and case. The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Bowers & Wilkins PI7 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.
Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Bowers & Wilkins PI7 will work well with your iPad. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 support APTX HD, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It supports high-quality 24-bit audio (at a bit rate of 576kbps).
The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have 6 microphones.
The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out noise from the desired sound. The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient sound so that they can still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the earbuds can detect when they are removed from your ears so that the music is paused. If lost in a room, or can't easily find them in your bag, the Bowers & Wilkins PI7 support the find earbuds feature.
The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 support fast charging. Commonly, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to lower the time it takes to charge a device. Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have a mute function, they have the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.
The Bowers & Wilkins PI7, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the earbuds. Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have voice prompts. With voice prompts, you receive information through audio messages, say if there is an issue with the connection.
The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 come with their own special case. Carrying earbuds openly, or placing them in your pockets without a casing may easily damage them.
