Introducing B&W’s new flagship: the Px7 S3
British audio brand Bowers & Wilkins has introduced a brand new addition to its premium headphone lineup: the Px7 S3. Known for producing high-fidelity audio equipment, the company has redesigned its flagship over-ear headphones to deliver improved comfort, performance, and functionality. The new headphones feature a slimmer profile and a more compact carry case than previous models. Updates include a new headband, refined earcup arms, and enhanced memory foam ear pads for a more comfortable fit during extended listening sessions. Sound quality has been significantly upgraded with redesigned 40mm biocellulose drivers, now featuring new components such as an improved chassis, voice coil, and magnet system. These changes aim to reduce distortion and improve detail and dynamics. A discrete headphone amplifier powers the high-resolution drivers, offering a more immersive and energetic audio experience.
KEY FEATURES
- Building on the multi-award-winning Px7 S2e, the new Px7 S3 is Bowers & Wilkins’ most advanced wireless headphones to date.
- Combining newly designed drivers, Qualcomm aptXTM Adaptive 24/96, aptXTM Lossless, and specially developed headphone amplifiers, the sound quality of these new headphones is unprecedented.
- Eight microphones ensure excellent active noise cancellation and optimised call quality.
- The new design features a slimmer profile, better fit, improved materials, and optimal comfort, including memory foam ear cups for a comfortable all-day listening experience.

The Px7 S3 supports aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and 24-bit/96kHz playback via USB-C and 3.5mm connections. DSP technology developed by Bowers & Wilkins ensures high-quality sound whether streaming from a phone, computer, or using a cable. A new eight-microphone system delivers advanced active noise cancellation while preserving sound quality. This system also enhances voice clarity during calls through updated speech-processing technology. The Px7 S3 is the brand’s most effective noise-cancelling headphone to date. Battery life extends to 30 hours with ANC on, with a quick 15-minute charge providing up to seven hours of use.

The Px7 S3 is the first Bowers & Wilkins model to support spatial audio and Bluetooth LE Audio with Auracast, both arriving via future firmware updates. Available in Anthracite Black, Indigo Blue, and Canvas White, the Px7 S3 is priced at £399 / €429 and is now available through the Bowers & Wilkins website and select retailers.
