Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2: amazing sound, average noise cancellation

We recently got our hands on the new Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2 headphones and we’ve got to tell you… they sound great! The sound quality these headphones deliver is typical of the legendary British audio company and is second to none. We were really impressed by how much detail and how wide the soundstage was.

Pros

• Outstanding sound quality
• Extremely comfortable
• Great battery life

Cons

• Average noise cancellation
• No features like ANC or ambient sound mode

That said, let’s talk about the not-so-great part of the Pi7 S2. The noise cancellation here is average – not bad, but not great either. If you’re looking for headphones that truly block out external noises, you’ll want to look at something else. Plus, you won’t find features like noise cancellation or ambient sound mode on the Pi7 S2 from Bowers & Wilkins.

Conclusion

Overall, the Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2 deliver great sound quality and are extremely comfortable, but don’t expect any impressive ANC or additional features. If amazing sound quality is all you want in a headphone, then the Pi7 S2 just might be the right pick for you. Otherwise, you may want to look elsewhere.
