Stunning sound, Small and comfortable design, Excellent active noise cancellation, Case doubles as a Bluetooth transmitter
Battery life could be better, No equaliser in companion app
The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 true wireless in-ear headphones are the best we've ever heard. The company has delivered the sound quality and accuracy we've come to expect from its excellent speakers and shrunk that technology to fit into these fine earphones...

Exquisite sound quality, Clever Bluetooth charging case, Fantastic build quality
Mediocre battery life, Really quite expensive, No volume controls or EQ
Bowers & Wilkins' debut true wireless buds are brilliant for reasons we weren't quite expecting, but we felt slightly let down in other areas that should be sewn up for the price you're paying. The retramission tech on the Bluetooth charging case is a fa...

Clear, agile, insightful sound, Classy finish, Retransmitter case feature,
Expensive compared to main rivals, Occasional sound drop-outs, Noise-cancelling is basic,
The sound clarity offered by the B&W PI7 is class-leading in terms of detail and neutrality, and the novelty of a case that transmits audio to the headphones is a definite plus.As an overall proposition though, we expect more from a set of true wireless e...

Thoroughly engaging and convincing sound, Clever charging case, Premium look and feel
Treble response doesn't need much provocation, Unblinkingly expensive, Noise cancellation and battery life is nothing special
The fact that the Bowers & Wilkins PI7, with their sky-high price-tag, a control app that's more style than substance, an incomplete suite of touch controls, and humdrum active noise-cancelling and battery life, must sound incredible to come this close to...
Very expensive, Ambient mode is controlled via the app
So, to the million-dollar (£350) question: should you buy the Bowers & Wilkins PI7? They're the best-sounding noise-cancelling earbuds I've tested and although their ANC isn't class-leading, it's not far off. They also look great, fit comfortably (for me...
Impressive sound,Can transmit audio from a non-wireless source via the case,Easy pairing,Neat design
Can they justify the price
We want to investigate further before we give our full opinion, but so far, it seems like Bowers & Wilkins is onto a winner with the PI7 wireless in-ears.These earbuds are extremely high quality and look tasty to match. Their musicality is right up there...

…but size is literally too big for some, No quick ANC/Transparency switch, Average battery life,
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 are a true wireless masterpiece, with some fantastic extra features. But the design of the earbud may be an issue for smaller ears.Reasons to buy+The best-sounding wireless earbuds yet+Solid noise cancellation+Really clever extra feat...
