Bowers & Wilkins Over-Ear Headphones Are Now 42% Off.
Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 wireless over-ear headphones with active noise cancellation are now on sale on Woot for $279 (down from $479), marking their lowest price yet (according to price tracking sites ). Shipping is free for Prime members , and $6 for non-Prime members. The promotion is expected to last about a week or until supplies last, so availability may fluctuate quickly based on demand.
The combination of fabric, aluminum, and faux leather gives these headphones a more premium feel than most all-plastic alternatives in this price range, and the updated headband and thicker ear pads make a noticeable difference over time—you can sit through long work sessions or an entire flight without feeling the need to take them off. They also offer 30 hours of playback with active noise cancellation enabled (time may vary), and the quick-charge feature gives you around seven hours of playtime in 15 minutes, enough for a full day if you forget to plug them in overnight.
In terms of sound, compared to the previous Px7 S2 model, music sounds more open, with better separation between vocals and instruments. Bass is present but not overpowering, and the highs are more punchy without becoming harsh. And you don’t need the best Bluetooth system to notice the difference. Even with standard AAC or SBC, the improvement is noticeable. If you have a compatible Android smartphone , aptX Adaptive and Lossless support is available, or you can connect your device via USB-C for higher-resolution audio, a rare feature in this category.
The companion app also features a full five-band equalizer, allowing you to fine-tune your sound rather than relying on basic presets (as was previously the case). However, while the active noise cancellation has improved, it still falls short of industry leaders like the Sony WH-1000XM6 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, especially in flight or heavy traffic conditions. Transparency mode, on the other hand, has improved significantly and is well-suited for conversations, but the controls can feel somewhat limited—you still have to toggle between ANC modes rather than select them directly, and the button layout takes some getting used to. Support for new Bluetooth features like LE Audio or Auracast is also missing, which could be a factor in the future.
