Highlights & Key Technologies

Incredible Sound
Px7 S3 utilises advanced audio technology, developed from nearly 60 years of engineering expertise, to deliver incredible sound quality and truly focused, immersive listening experiences. A high-performance DSP with a dedicated DSP and amplifier/DAC, a true 24-bit audio connection, and a 5-band customisable EQ with TrueSound™ mode — which bypasses any tonal customisation to deliver the audio as the artist and Bowers & Wilkins intended — combine with two 40mm dynamic full-range bio-cellulose drive units for reference-grade clarity. Compared to Px7 S2e, Px7 S3 delivers richer detail, deeper bass and even better clarity from a sleeker headphone design.

Block Out the World
Outstanding sound, no distractions. Px7 S3 features advanced noise cancellation that you can adapt to your surroundings, using eight microphones (four per earcup) for uninterrupted sound performance no matter where you are. Active noise cancellation requires a good seal between the headphones and your head for optimal performance; lifting an earcup stops noise cancellation from working. An ambient Pass-Through mode allows external sounds, such as conversations or safety announcements, to be heard without removing the headphones.

Crystal-Clear Calls
Px7 S3 uses eight precisely positioned microphones and next-generation voice technology, including the ADI Pure Voice call-quality algorithm, to ensure crystal-clear call quality and help you find focus in every conversation.

Exceptional Wireless Performance
With aptX™ Lossless and aptX™ Adaptive support, Px7 S3 adjusts dynamically to optimise performance and connection reliability. Whether you are listening to music, watching movies or playing games, you’ll always experience the same exceptional sound quality. Multipoint connectivity allows pairing with up to two devices simultaneously, with automatic switching between them and call routing to the headphones, and Google Fast Pair and Apple MFi Made for iPhone support are both included.

Enhanced Wear Sensing
Px7 S3 incorporates enhanced wear detection sensors in both earpieces, automatically pausing playback when an earpiece is lifted from the ear and resuming when replaced. The sensors also enable intelligent battery conservation by entering low-power standby when the headphones are removed, waking and reconnecting to the last device when worn again. Wear sensing can be enabled, disabled and adjusted for sensitivity via the Bowers & Wilkins Music app.

Wired Connectivity
In addition to Bluetooth, Px7 S3 connects to audio sources using the supplied cables. The USB-C to 3.5mm audio cable enables use with analogue outputs such as aeroplane headphone sockets, smartphones or a traditional hi-fi system, while the USB-C to USB-C cable lets the headphones function as a USB sound output device at up to 24-bit/96kHz when connected to a capable computer, charging the battery at the same time.

Premium Design, Perfect Fit
The best sound deserves the best fit and finish. Px7 S3 features an all-new ergonomically tested design with slimmer earcups and a refined headband for comfortable, extended listening from a sleeker headphone silhouette.

Direct Streaming, Complete Control
The Bowers & Wilkins Music app integrates your music streaming services, lets you set your preferred type of noise cancellation, and adjust your audio preferences thanks to a five-band EQ. The app also provides device naming, connection management, streaming-quality settings, auto-standby, and headphone software updates, and is available free on iOS and Android devices.
