Bowers & Wilkins PI5 True Wireless Noise Cancelling In Ear headphones - Charcoal, Small

Bought these as replacement for B&W p5 on ear and am not disappointed; great sound quality, noise cancellation works perfectly (in fact ANC brings the sound to another level). Very small & light & very comfortable! On top of that the design is beautiful. Battery life rated on basis of reviews I read as still ‘working on my first charge’. Would highly recommend on basis that the sound quality is as good as the on/over ear B&W’s. As always, Amazon ordering straight forward & fast (reliable) delivery. 👍

On the positive side, these have great sound quality (lovely, as you would expect from B&W). But - and it’s a huge but - the Bluetooth connection (even using the app) to an iPhone and also an iPod was dreadful. Dreadful. They *keep* dropping the connection to the iPod every few seconds just sitting in a chair at home. They also *keep* dropping the connection to an iPhone 13 every couple of minutes. And that’s after pairing (a process that takes a while) through the app. Infuriating. And such a shame. I had tried another B&W earbud model previously which I returned for all the same faults: poor connectivity, poor noise cancellation. I was really hoping it had been a one-off, duff pair of earbuds. I have a £20 pair which don’t drop the connection (although the sound quality bears no comparison). The tech isn’t impossible but these just don’t work properly. Again.

Pros: With an equalizer you can get very very good sound!! ANC is also very good, I work with machines and they do a very good job at blocking out unwanted sound. I have had many headphones and earphones and i think these take the crown for ANC. Cons: Have to take them out your ears to access dedicated app otherwise they fail to connect, however the app is rarely needed No equalizer built into the app Battery life is around 4 hrs Distort at high volumes when ANC is turned on but dont when ANC is off. I have my equalizer fine tuned with presets for ANC and NO ANC without this i would have returned them. I would still give these a 4* rating because with some EQ presets these sound amazing!!

ordered on Friday, received on Monday morning in china, it is fast. can it be turn volume louder ?it seems only control by music player or your phone. can not find any control on earbud. the sound is clean. but i will switch to a pair of comply tips the sound might be have more bass. wait and see. the app sucks, better to use phone yourself to pair the earbuds.

Still getting used to in ear buds. Sound quality is good, however main issue has been sound dropping out. Also went for a walk in very windy conditions and the the headphones kept pausing with a tone as if I’d manually paused them. I’ve disabled the move detector on the app, snd so far this seems to have solved the issue. Bit disappointed given the cost. Hopefully it will improve.

As a D&B DJ I like my music loud and punchy. Having owned and enjoyed B&W home speakers I thought I'd give the PI5 a go for mobile use. Unfortunately it was not a great experience, here's why: - Sound quality: really rich, punchy and full of bass (only good thing I can say about these really) - Connectivity: really unreliable, the left earbud had connection issues and the app never seems to connect - ANC: was ok but I noticed a little buzzing/chirping sound when enabled - Case: decent size, feels very plasticy and the flap seems a bit weak and could easily break if forced too much - Power: I didn't use them enough to know much about the battery life when the flashing light on the case is annoying when its charging - Support: friendly support line but never really offered any helpful solutions when I explained my issues with connectivity, if anything the response was like "yeah we know, just persist with it or disable features to avoid the issue". Design: they do look good, one of the reasons I chose these over the Bose QC Earbuds As a result I'm returning these and re-considering the Bose QC Earbuds for a better functional experience, despite the bulkier look and feel.

Sounds so good - great product

Good price for the item

The B&W PX7 is not a very good upgrade from the previous model or to many other headsets. The Bad: - The quality of the built is not that good with the very bad cheap quality of the case. - Noise cancellation is not that good I still can hear a lot of noise when I use it on the road - It kept on falling from my ear. They need to add a hook so it stays in your ear since it's quite a heavy earphone. - Tried it for different genres of music and for movies. The bass of the earphone is just not that powerful for EDM. Listening to jazz. mainstream is okay. It is not good for classic - Need to have a louder option since it is not loud enough The good: - Listening to movies has quite a muffling system so it was quite good to watch movies with this. Nonetheless, it still did not outweigh the bad. - Aluminium design added on the earphone so it was not that bad B&W still needs a lot of things to reach out to compete with the other competitors. I hope they listen to this feedback and get better for the next headset!

A company like B&W should be ashamed of releasing a product that has sooo many connectivity flaws...the sound, design and fit is very good so it could have potentially a good product but I've had so many problems like already mentioned in many reviews that makes these earphones useless

I bought these for my wife to use for phone calls b/c she is on the phone a LOT for work purposes. As expected from B&W...excellent sound reproduction overall!! For misic...I don't know how they manage to produce such a rich and full soundstage. A little heavy on the low frequencies for my personal taste, but one can adjust this with an equalizer app (assuming use with a phone or tablet) if need be. Excellent sound quality for phone calls. Voices are clear on both ends. Noise cancelling is a bit subject to the fit in ypur ear. If you get a good seal in your ear canal...lesser ambient sounds do not leak in. Personal comfort level is key IMO. i.e. How hard do you wish to push these into your ears. A good portion of these buds are metal, so not as light weight as lesser quality earbuds. Still, not nearly as heavy as a pair of over the ear headphones, and still very comfortable. Comes with 3 additional...I don't know what they are called...the cover portion thst goes into your ear canal. All are different size, so you just need to pick the one that is most comfortable. Functionally there is a touch sensor. It works as expected and does NOT require a heavy touch. Great product over all!!

Bowers & Wilkins need to improve their wireless game. This is my second pair and after only few weeks of moderate use they are barely usable. The first PI5s worked for few hours and then died. I received a second pair and they continue to have issues at least they worked for little longer this time. The battery life is not sufficient especially compared to the competition, you will be lucky to get a decent workout from them. The sensors are struggling to detect anything it randomly stops in my ear when taken out they stop playing as they should only to play and stop randomly until you put them into the case that means that you will have to put them neatly into their case if you want to talk to anyone even for a minute, there is no stop pass through so you will can’t even leave them in ear. Borderline annoying sounds at every step no one mentions this the headphones will play very loud chimes at every step and while the call quality is one of the only things done well, every time even with the volume level at minimum the first ring is set to the loudest setting and then it switches to the current volume this will kick your eardrum. The case is cheap plastic for that brand and price very poorly designed as well as the taking out of the headphones you need both hands and be careful not to rip of the lid. They sit in ears fairly well and will provide really good passive noise canceling ANC is not going add much more isolation. You will hear People talking loudly, construction noise and any beeping sounds. The only thing that it is good at isolating is cars driving slowly people walking next to you and pretty much all the surrounding sounds that you are used to orient yourself will be blocked but the annoying sounds that you want to block will not be blocked at all. However that is also it’s bad points when walking or exercise they feel uncomfortable because they are too snug. It unfortunately fails all the things that you want from a wireless headphones the only time that they are usable was at home, where you can have a nice overhead headphones that have amazing sound for that price or less. Finally the sound quality this is subjective: I found the signature really balanced with silent but wide range bass not overpowering enough for most but not punchy enough 70% volume in quiet environment. Great for listening to any type of music with detail and good quality. There is not enough volume they are very silent and because of ANC 70% volume even outside is ideal for casual listening, however if your favourite song comes on these are quiet. That is if they work. Even when they work it’s not a good design for everyday usage and they are not even worth the price I was unlucky with my items being faulty, however I would not buy them again even if they worked perfectly as the sound quality is not worth so many shortcomings cheap quality and annoyance.
