#420 Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3: $429.00 Wireless Amazon $429.00 eBay
Pros: It brings active noise cancelling, a claimed 30 hours of battery life and Bluetooth 5.3 with an unusually wide codec list, including aptX Adaptive, aptX HD and aptX Lossless alongside AAC. A wired connection is also supported. For listeners who want heavy, elevated bass, its strong low end fits a bassy taste.
Cons: In two hobbyist measurements on squig.link it scores only 30.7 for Harman preference with a 4.23 dB deviation, one of the least accurate responses in its class. Bass runs about 8.3 dB and sub-bass about 7.7 dB over target, which muddies the low end, while an 11.5 dB peak near 8.7 kHz next to a 6 dB dip near 5.4 kHz makes cymbals and sibilance sound hot and uneven. It rates below the Sony WH-1000XM6 and SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, which also offer noise cancelling at a similar price.
