The sublime Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 is well under ?200 from John Lewis with a code
A fantastic pair of wireless noise cancelling headphones.
John Lewis is currently offering you the chance to get a premium pair of noise-cancelling cans at quite the discount. The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 might be a couple of models old in the brand's lineup of wireless cans, but they still pack a punch in terms of stylish looks, excellent audio and solid features. If you're a My John Lewis member (free signup), you can use code MYJL15HP to get 15 percent off their £199 list price to bring them down to just £170. That's fantastic.
For those going for style points and modern looks, there's a lot to like about the PX7 S2s. They continue Bowers & Wilkins' long tradition of offering plush looking headphones that are sure to turn a few heads, and look fantastic. There's a lovely blend of fabric across the headband and earcups and some matte plastic which offsets the fabric nicely. You also get accents of silver or gold across the unit, depending on which colour you pick. They look particularly fetching and almost regal in the dark blue, complete with gold accents, which John Lewis says is an exclusive to them. If that isn't to your taste, then John Lewis also sells them in a white/grey and black for the same price. At 307g, these are a tad heavier than Sony's XM4s, and Bose's NC700s, but offer a premium finish and snug clamping force that should provide a good seal for the noise cancelling.
As for their audio quality, the PX7 S2 look to offer a fair amount of low end, while maintaining a sense of clarity in the mid-range. They handle vocals well, and look to provide some excellent detail and precision, too. With these cans, B&W has reverted back to using 40mm drivers, as opposed to the slightly larger ones that were present in the previous model. They're also slightly angled in the name of providing a more direct sound, and allow the PX7 S2 to give audio plenty of width and breathing room with an excellent soundstage.
They also offer some solid noise cancelling, which should be able to block out most noise while you're out and about. There is also a 'Pass Through' mode contained within the B&W app, which allows you to hear what's going around you - think of it as a transparency mode. Combined with this, 30 hours of battery life gives you good endurance, and you can also adjust the EQ easily within the associated app, too.
For a stylish set of wireless noise cancelling headphones at a decent price, you won't want to miss this solid deal on the B&W PX7 S2 from John Lewis.
