Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 have a weight of 307g, these weigh below 320g, which we consider as the highest average a headphone should weigh for comfort during long use. We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with. Detachable cables are cables that have connectors on both ends.
One end goes into your headphone earpieces, while the other end is inserted into an audio source. Some new headphones, and not just the expensive ones, are coming with detachable cables, Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 are one of those. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 are foldable, which makes them more portable.
Foldable headphones are easier to transport and take up less storage space. Twisted headphone cables can be a great source of annoyance and inconvenience, Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2's cable is designed to minimize tangling. Constant twisting of the cables can also lead to microfractures in the copper wires, affecting sound quality, or
rendering your headphones defective.
A long cable ensures more freedom of movement, but remember that every cable based on the conducting material used has a certain amount of parasitic resistance, inductance, and capacitance. How much depends on the length and construction. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 comes with a 1.2meters cable.
Over-ear headphones have larger earpads that fit around your entire ear Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 have a comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This design is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2's 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 more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out environment noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out.
The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out. The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
If your headphones play wirelessly, cancel ambient noise, or enhance your listening experience with active features, their battery life will reduce over time. The device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2's battery life is 30 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2's battery.
It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the headphones for the first time or when they have been unused for extended periods. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your headphones.
A rechargeable battery is a type of electrical battery that can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2's battery can be recharged and used over again. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 can be used wirelessly, wireless devices allow you more freedom of movement.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 has a v5.2
Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power on a single cable. The USB-C plug is now part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets, it features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.
Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps), which means it can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as listening to HD audio or reducing interference from other devices. The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 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).
Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 support APTX, a codec used for transmitting audio wirelessly with Bluetooth. It is developed by Qualcomm and supports 16-bit audio at a bit rate of 384kbps. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio.
It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances.
The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 can connect at a 10meters distance via Bluetooth or infrared to another device. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 support fast Bluetooth pairing using NFC so it can communicate with other devices over Bluetooth. You can fastly pair devices without entering a code by simply holding one device next to the device with which it is to be paired.
Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 have only 6 microphones, more microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard. It’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, for example when you’re having a jog but would still want to be able to hear traffic. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when they are removed from your ears so that the music is paused, saving battery life and improving your listening experience while at it.
Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 have a mute function, they have an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device. The mute function means that you unilaterally turn off the microphone, but you can still hear the other party's voice. There is a control panel on the Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to.
Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 can be used as a headset. A headset is one headphone or pair with a built-in microphone. Headsets can be used for apps that require communication i.e.
Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, games with voice chat, mobile phones, etc. Carrying headphones without a case, or putting them in bags without a casing can easily put them at risk of getting damaged. The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 come with their own special case or pouch, which is useful for safe transportation.
