Overall Score 7.5 Represents average audio ecosystem compatibility score.
Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP54, the Bowers & Wilkins PI7's rating is read as, the first number 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. The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have a weight of 50g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.

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 uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise. The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 stay well in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down your environment sounds while preventing the device voice audio from leaking out .

The Bowers & Wilkins PI7's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, 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 shows how well an audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. 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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
