They are on-ear headphones, so the cups are not as large as on the PX7, but that’s okay because the PX7 were a bit heavy for me, which would have made extended listening sessions quite tiring. The padding on the PX5 was firm but gave just enough to make them quite comfortable. I also like the wireless feature when I listen to music on Spotify from my iPhone. I would definitely recommend these headphones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome luxury wireless headphone

J.W.P. · July 9, 2021

It has come to Korea, by polar air cargo and finally tried B & W PX5. I owned BOSE, B & O, SONY.This is my rank, 4th : B & O, 3rd : SONY, 2nd : BOSE, and 1st is the B & W.3 month ago, I bought my car volvo S60 B5 made in USA, and this car has B & W audio system. This is awesome! Someone said that B&W car audio system is like the position of luxury watch brand, Patek Philippe. I agree!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Nice looking headphones with really bad wired connection and slow Bluetooth device switching

S. · August 24, 2020

This are a pair of nice looking headphones, which also sound good, but device switching between two connected Bluetooth devices is really slow and the worst part is that the wired connection via usb-c or 3.5mm audio cable is really faulty. If you move the headphones slightly while having them connected via wire it will disconnect, so this makes the headphones really unreliable for listening to music via a 3.5mm wire or charging them via usb-c. So basically the two main reasons I bought this pair of headphones is not working. Headphones get uncomfortable on the ears and top of my head after wearing them for about 30 minutes or so. Noise cancelation is weak, even at the highest setting. So sadly I have them on my desk without using them, I guess it's back to looking for a better option that works reliably.

4.0 out of 5 stars Forget the Beats Solo Pro. It's all about the PX5! *UPDATED*

h. · November 5, 2019

*UPDATED 11/24/2019*Regrettably, I have some bad news. When using this for calls, I was told I sound monotone (narrow mic frequency range), quite muffled, and was asked to repeat myself numerous times, to the point I just put the headphones down and used my phone. Seriously disappointing for $300 and something advertised as lifestyle-friendly. No word from Bowers & Wilkins on any possible updates to fix this or if it's just a limitation (or defect) of the hardware. -1 StarORIGINAL REVIEWI own the P7 Wireless, which are a great set of wireless cans. The only issue is they do not have ANC.I previously had the PX, which sounded great, but they did depart a bit from the typical Bowers & Wilkins house sound. Also, the sound was dramatically affected when ANC was turned on, which was a huger bummer. Comfort? Well, the PX were not very comfortable.On to the PX5 and PX7. I demoed both of them at the same time at a local big box store and enjoyed the PX5 more. While the PX7 was overall more immersive, I found the PX5 was ever so slightly more refined. I just enjoyed the PX5 more and felt was just a bit more precise. I also prefer the look of the PX5 over the PX7.If you've ever spent time listening to Bowers & Wilkins headphones, you know they excel with strong, yet defined bass, a smooth & natural mid range, and detailed highs. The PX5 is no different. The sound absolutely fantastic with impeccable layering of instruments that really give you that "live" feeling.For the record, I do not have a large head (I think I have a "normal" sized head), so comfort for me is good. They are secure, but not too tight. To given you an idea, I was able to wear these for the duration of the workday (took them off for lunch, of course) and I did not get fatigued. They were also stable enough to use for weightlifting at the gym.ANC, although not as strong as the Sony 1000XM3, is still very effective. Also, the good news this time around, is the ANC has very little effect on sound, in fact, most people I let listen to the PX5 could not hear a difference in sound quality with ANC on or ANC off.Build quality is just marvelous. Nothing to really elaborate on here!Overall, for $299, these compete directly with the Beats Solo Pro. While the Solo Pro are better than the Solo 3 and decent headphones in their own right, the PX5 are just on another level and a strong recommendation for audiophiles on the go. Honestly, these are the best on-ear headphones on the market.

3.0 out of 5 stars Impressive sound as usual but too tight to wear for a long time

J.C. · October 4, 2019

First of all, I ordered blue but received black, so I'm gonna return the wrongly sent out item.Then, the sound quality is crazily impressive as usual. I like B&W because the sound is way better than what offered by BOSE and SONY. The noice cancelling is improved as well, since I tried at home while turning on the air conditioner. I feel nothing but the music when the cancelling turned on. Definitely better than PX, the previous version.Cons:1. The design of PX5 seems to aim for people with smaller heads/light hair... I cannot wear it comfortably since the clamping force is so strong that I feel pain on my head. However, I don't think it would be a problem for those who have a smaller head.2. It's still a little heavier than Sony XM3, as the materials are metal like Carbon Fiber, which is more luxury than plastic like in Sonny XM3.I generally like this product but it is not a fit for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good headphones

I.O. · January 16, 2020

These are a good pair of headphones. Only issue is with the "wired" option. Bluetooth works like a charm. When I tried to set it up to work in wired mode on my wife's macbook, it was hard to do so. We gave up.

Soddisfatto a metà

L.A. · May 12, 2021

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } A malincuore ho effettuato il reso e vi spiego il perché. Cominciamo dalle note positive: l'usato Bolo è eccezionale; per un terzo del valore di listino ho portato a casa una cuffia praticamente nuova, imballaggio e prodotto immacolati, sfido chiunque a distinguerli dal nuovo se non per i sigilli tagliati. Ma andiamo alla cuffia: bella sicuramente, durata della batteria notevole, ergonomia nella norma, costruzione robusta, anc direi adeguato e soprattutto poco influente sul suono, fruscio inesistente, bluetooth stabilissimo e dalla portata notevole. Passiamo alle note dolenti: appena indossata dà fastidio in tutti i sensi e credetemi ho ascoltato a lungo proprio per convincermi del contrario ma non c'è stato nulla da fare. La prima impressione è rimasta tale. Sorvolando su dimensioni e peso( per me una on ear dovrebbe essere più piccola e leggera ma è una opinione del tutto personale) la cuffia non è comodissima. Stringe decisamente e se e i cuscinetti da un lato ammortizzano dall'altro riscaldano parecchio al punto che dopo poco le orecchie letteralmente friggono ( a me diventano rosso fuoco dopo 5 minuti) . Anche la timbrica non mi ha convinto, a volte il suono sembra scatolato e i medio alti sono troppo in evidenza generando una fatica di ascolto non indifferente anche a basso volume. Un comportamento decisamente lontano da quello della p5 col filo provata diversi anni fa della quale avevo invece apprezzato la compattezza, leggerezza e suono molto equilibrato. Tutto questo mi ha lasciato sinceramente molto perplesso anche se ho letto una recensione sulla px7 dove si lamentava lo stesso problema di timbrica. Forse rodandola un po'di più si potrebbe attenuare l'asprezza in alto ma l'impostazione a me sembra quella e comunque resterebbe per me la scomodità, tralaltro non è neanche tanto stabile in testa. Forse io sono esageratamente puntiglioso magari sono le mie orecchie di mezza età ma sinceramente ad un audiofilo di lunga data come me non mi sento di consigliarla ( al prezzo di listino poi non se ne parla). Peccato perché pensavo di aver fatto un vero affare. Forse la Bowers e Wilkins si è un po' sbilanciata cercando di allargarsi ad una clientela più giovane. Ovviamente ribadisco che le mie sono opinioni del tutto personali, la cuffia perfetta non esiste e sui gusti non si discute anche se, in base alle recensioni, le delusioni sono proprio da chi conosce il marchio. In conclusione la px5 resta comunque un prodotto di alto livello, resta da capire se il giogo valga la candela.

Excellent sound

Creo que son unos de los mejores audífonos que podido comprar hasta el momento la verdad es que logré obtener una promoción al momento de la compra y me salieron muy baratos porque el precio es mucho más elevado de lo que yo los compré aquí pero han sido una cosa excepcional el sonido de la calidad todo es magnífico creo que sin duda esto audífonos para los amantes de la música y de la calidad de audio de la fidelidad son los que están buscando

Descontento

i. · January 20, 2023

Me ha ocurrido lo mismo. Compré los Px5 en Bolo, el auricular izquierdo no me funciona, como la garantía ya no está vigente, no se hace cargo ni el servicio técnico ni Bower & Wilkins. Reconocieron que les has ocurrido a más dispositivos pero la solución es que me Lis cambiaban por unos Px7 pagando casi 300€, una tomadura de pelo. Estoy esperando su Bolo me da una respuesta, me los recoge, abona, etc. muy, muy insatisfecho porque cuando compras algo de una calidad y precio tan elevado esperas un buen producto y el mejor servicio
