The drivers have been completely reworked, using new 40 mm biocellulose units, so music sounds more expressive than before. Noise-cancelling has had a serious upgrade too, with an eight-microphone array that does a better job of cutting out background noise while also improving call clarity.<\/p>\n<p>Comfort and usability have also moved on from the S2. The slimmer, lighter design, reshaped headband, and soft memory foam pads make long listening sessions easier, while Bluetooth 5.3 with aptX Lossless and Adaptive keeps wireless audio as faithful as your source will allow.<\/p>\n<p>Add up to 30 hours of battery life, fast charging, and an easy-to-use app with a five-band EQ, and the Px7 S3 feels like a properly refined step up for anyone ready to upgrade their everyday headphones.<\/p>\n<p>For a detailed breakdown, read our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/blog\/bw-headphones-the-range-and-history-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bowers &amp; Wilkins range explanation here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.av.com\/Headphones\/Bowers-and-Wilkins-Px7-S3-Wireless-Headphones-Anthracite-Black\/761H&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;FIND OUT MORE&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Arial|700|||||||&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x35;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|30px|10px|30px|false|false&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset6&#8243; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;2px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;18.
