The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 wireless over-ear ANC headphones are currently down to $279 (from $479) on Woot, marking their lowest price so far (according to price trackers), with free shipping for Prime members and a $6 fee for others. The deal is expected to run for about a week or until it sells out, so availability could shift quickly depending on demand.
The mix of fabric, aluminum, and synthetic leather gives these headphones a more premium touch than most all-plastic alternatives in this range, and their updated headband and thicker cushions make a difference over time—you can sit through long work sessions or a full flight without feeling like you need to take them off. It also gives you 30 hours of playback with active noise cancellation on (your mileage may vary), and the quick charge feature gets you about seven hours in 15 minutes, which is enough to get you through a day if you forget to plug them in overnight.
Sound-wise—as compared to the previous Px7 S2—music feels more open, with better separation between vocals and instruments. Bass has presence but doesn’t take over, and the highs have more energy than before without becoming harsh. And you don’t need the best Bluetooth setup to notice the difference, either. Even on standard AAC or SBC, the improvement comes through. If you do have a compatible Android phone, aptX Adaptive and Lossless support are available, or you can also plug in via USB-C for higher-resolution audio, which is still rare in this category.
You also get a proper five-band EQ in the companion app, so you can fine-tune the sound instead of relying on basic presets (as was the case before). That said, while its active noise cancellation has improved, it still falls short of industry leaders like the Sony WH-1000XM6 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, especially in environments like flights or heavy traffic. Transparency mode, on the other hand, is much better than before and works well for conversations, but the controls can feel a bit limiting—you still have to cycle through ANC modes instead of choosing directly, and the button layout takes some getting used to. There’s also no support for newer Bluetooth features like LE Audio or Auracast, which could matter down the line.
