Our take

Verdict: B&W’s luxury statement headphone — superb sound and materials at a price that demands you really want them.

The problem. You want a premium wireless headphone that looks and feels as good as it sounds. Why it matters. At this tier you’re paying for materials and tuning, not just feature counts. What it is. B&W’s flagship: carbon-cone drivers, cast-aluminium arms, Nappa leather, aptX Adaptive and a detailed, refined signature a notch above the PX7 S2e.

Pros

Excellent, articulate sound — arguably the best in B&W’s wireless line
Genuinely premium leather-and-metal build
aptX Adaptive support

Cons

Very expensive for what is still an ANC-class headphone
ANC and app trail Sony/Bose
Heavier and warmer to wear than mainstream rivals

Who should buy it

Buyers who want a luxury-grade headphone and prioritise sound and materials over ANC

Who should skip it

Anyone chasing best-in-class noise cancellation or value — the PX7 S2e gets most of the sound for far less

Bottom line. A beautiful indulgence; justified only if build and sound matter more to you than the price gap to the PX7 S2e.
