Bowers & Wilkins Pi6 In-Ear True Wireless Earbuds - Cloud Grey

A B&W Earbud Built Around Fit and Sound

The Bowers & Wilkins Pi6 are in-ear true wireless earbuds. They have active noise cancellation, 12mm bio-cellulose drive units and a pocket-size charging case. They bring the Bowers & Wilkins sound to the commute, the gym and your calls.

Each earbud weighs 7 g and is rated IP54 for dust and water resistance. Four sizes of ear tip come in the box, from extra small to large. Find the seal that keeps noise cancellation working at its best.

A Full Day of Battery, Topped Up in Minutes

Plan on up to 8 hours from the earbuds with noise cancellation on. The case adds 16 more hours. A 15-minute charge gives about 2 hours of playback, enough for a short stop before you head out.

Bluetooth 5.4 carries aptX Adaptive, aptX Classic, AAC and SBC, and the Pi6 are Made for iPhone. Multipoint lets two devices stay connected at once, so a phone and a laptop can both be ready when you need them.

Small Drivers, Careful Processing

Bowers & Wilkins says the bio-cellulose drive units reduce distortion and improve high-frequency detail. A DSP and a true 24-bit audio connection sit between your phone and those drivers, so the signal stays clean.

The noise cancellation was designed from the ground up by Bowers & Wilkins and adapts to your surroundings on its own. Ambient Pass-Through lets conversation or safety announcements in without taking an earbud out. Three microphones per earbud handle calls and noise control.

Wear Sensing pauses the music when you remove an earbud and resumes when you return it. The free Bowers & Wilkins Music app for iOS and Android lets you set noise cancellation, Pass-Through, Wear Sensing and a two-band EQ.
