Bowers & Wilkins Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones Are Now Almost 60% Off.
Factory-refurbished Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 ANC headphones are currently on sale on Woot for $99, compared to $239.99 new and approximately $149.99 used on Amazon . Woot says the promotion will last approximately 26 days or until supplies last. Prime members receive free standard shipping, while everyone else pays $6. “Factory-refurbished” in this case means the headphones have been professionally inspected, fully diagnosed, and come in their original retail packaging with all accessories.
The Px7 S2 headphones use custom-designed 40mm dynamic drivers that deliver powerful bass, clear highs, and a natural sound balance. Comfort and design also play a key role. The circumaural design features memory foam cushions trimmed in faux leather, while the headband and earcups combine fabric and aluminum elements. As a result, the headphones have a discreet yet premium look and, as noted in the PCMag review , remain comfortable even during extended listening sessions. Physical controls are located on the earcups, including playback, call, and volume buttons, as well as a quick-action button that toggles between active noise cancellation, pass-through mode, and power.
The headphones connect via Bluetooth 5.0 and support several audio codecs , including AAC, AptX, and SBC. On compatible Android devices, these codecs provide higher-quality wireless audio and even 24-bit playback when using a compatible streaming service. Apple users won’t see the same high-resolution benefits, as iPhones don’t support AptX codecs and primarily use AAC.
You can connect the headphones using the included USB-C cable or a USB-C to 3.5mm audio cable if you prefer a wired connection . The claimed battery life is approximately 30 hours on a single charge, depending on listening volume and the use of active noise cancellation. Among the downsides, the noise cancellation isn’t as effective as the best Sony or Bose models, and the companion app only offers a basic equalizer . Still, at just $99, the highly rated Px7 S2s seem like a surprisingly good value.
