Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2 review: Awesome sound, average ANC
It can be hard to find the right balance between a solid set of noise-cancelling headphones that doesn’t break the bank, but with the Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2, you’re guaranteed to have a pair that offers quality sound and average ANC.

Pros:
- Exceptional sound quality: The Pi7 S2 produces smooth, crisp sound that is so impressive, it earned B&W the 2021 SMA Award for “Best Sound Quality”.
- Comfortable design: The neckband design of the Pi7 S2 keeps the earbuds in perfect place for a snug, secure fit that won’t slip out of your ears.
- Long battery life: With up to 30 hours of battery life, the Pi7 S2 will always be there when you need it.
Cons:
- Average noise cancellation: While the Pi7 S2 has decent noise cancelling capabilities, it’s not as good as more expensive headphones.
- No app: There is no dedicated app for the Pi7 S2, meaning features such as EQ settings and voice assistants are missing.
The Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2 headphones are great for someone who wants fantastic sound quality without the hefty price tag. The combination of long battery life, comfortable design and impressive sound quality make these headphones a great buy – just don’t expect them to silence out your noisy neighbours.
