Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 Wireless Headphones - Indigo Blue

A New Standard for Bowers & Wilkins' Wireless Line

The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 refines everything about the acclaimed Px7 S2e into a genuinely new standard of wireless performance, with a slimmer, lighter design built from nearly 60 years of B&W engineering.

Custom 40mm bio-cellulose drivers, angled inside each earcup for focused imaging, pair with a 24-bit DSP borrowing technique directly from B&W's flagship Px8 S2 headphones sitting above it in the lineup.

Bluetooth 5.3 now carries aptX Lossless alongside aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, and AAC, so the Px7 S3 reaches genuine CD-quality wireless playback on compatible sources rather than a compressed approximation of the original recording.

Where the Refined Driver Earns Its Keep

A Bio-Cellulose Cone, Built for Clarity

Bio-cellulose is stiff and lightweight, letting the driver move quickly and precisely without the flex that softer cone materials introduce, a genuine step up in detail retrieval over the S2e's driver.

Eight microphones now handle noise cancellation and calls, two more than the S2e's six, giving the Px7 S3 a more capable, adaptive cancellation system in genuinely noisy real-world environments overall.

A Slimmer Silhouette, Refined for Long Wear

An all-new ergonomically tested design brings slimmer earcups and a refined headband, aiming squarely at comfortable, extended listening sessions from a genuinely sleeker overall headphone silhouette than the generation that came before it.

A five-band EQ in the Bowers & Wilkins Music app lets you shape the sound to taste, alongside the same Ambient Pass-Through and Wear Sensing features carried over directly from the S2e generation before it, both refined further.

What Reviewers Are Saying

What Hi-Fi? awarded the Px7 S3 a full five stars, calling it "very much the real deal" and noting it "outmatch their predecessors in almost every department" sonically.

Sound & Vision's Mark Henninger called it "a meaningful evolution, combining excellent audio quality, solid noise cancelling, and luxury build," praising its clarity and musical engagement specifically.

Who Is the Px7 S3 Best For?

• You want the latest B&W wireless technology at a mid-tier price: aptX Lossless and eight microphones are genuine, current-generation upgrades

How Does It Connect to Your System?

Pair over Bluetooth 5.3 using aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, or AAC depending on what your source device supports, for wireless quality that scales with your equipment.

A USB-C connection handles digital playback directly from a computer, and a standard analog input covers any device with a conventional headphone output when you'd rather stay wired.

Not at all. It works over standard Bluetooth with any phone or tablet — aptX Lossless simply unlocks CD-quality streaming on devices that support it.

The S3 adds aptX Lossless, two more microphones, a bio-cellulose driver, and a slimmer, more refined design — reviewers found it a meaningful upgrade in nearly every respect.

What does the wear sensor do?

It detects when you take the headphones off and pauses playback automatically, then resumes when you put them back on. You can disable it in the app.

Up to 30 hours per charge with noise cancellation enabled at average volume, giving you a genuinely full day of listening between charges without much thought.
