The 22 Best Wireless Earbuds for 2022

 

After a few years of development, Bowers & Wilkins released a couple of sets of true wireless earbuds in 202: the PI7 ($399) and PI5 ($249). Both are excellent and feature active noise canceling along with a transparency mode. The flagship PI7 has a...

The PI7's case does transform into a Bluetooth transceiver, so you can plug it into your laptop for AptX streaming or an in-flight entertainment system. That's a nice bonus feature (the PI5 doesn't have it), but the Sony is the overall better value....

The Best Wireless Earbuds

 

WIRELESS EARBUDS ARE one of those ideas that sounded at first like a dream: Pop a tiny little headphone into each ear and listen to music or take calls untethered from everything. The first wireless buds were gigantic, died after a few hours, and had a...

These are some of the best-looking and best-sounding earbuds on the market. You get two dedicated drivers with dedicated amps for a wide and dynamic sound, and AptX Adaptive support for up to 24-bit streaming.

Rich sound and noise cancellation for a premium are what you get with the Bowers & Wilkins PI7.

Hi-fidelity sound ; Exceptional craftmanship ; Strong ANC ; Charging case doubles as a Bluetooth adapter ; Dust- and water-resistant

Poor battery life ; Notable missing features ; Very expensive

The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 is a stellar debut backed by top-tier ANC and sound, though it comes with a steep price.

Best noise-cancelling headphones

 

We're adding coverage of true wireless headphones to our repertoire and starting off with a bang: Bowers & Wilkins' PI7 in-ear headphones deliver phenomenal performance, they support Qualcomm's aptX Adaptive audio codec, and their charging case can act...

The B&W P17 is a phenomenal true wireless in-ear headphone, despite the compatibility issues we encountered with some well-known high-res digital audio players that the manufacturer aims to fix.

Bowers & Wilkins PI7 True Wireless Review

 

The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 True Wireless are high-end in-ears that are jam-packed with extra features. They support a variety of codecs including aptX HD and aptX-...

Fair recording quality. Great active noise isolation performance. Supports many codecs including aptX HD. Very well-built. IP54 rating for dust and water resistance.

Your voice may be lost in noisy environments. Bad passive soundstage. No multi-device pairing. 2.4-hour battery life.

The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 are passable for neutral sound. While vocals and lead instruments are present and detailed, their sound profile is still very bass-heavy, which adds extra thump, rumble, and boom to your mixes. Some users may find this to sound...

Bowers & Wilkins PI7 review: High-end sound with a high cost

 

Bowers & Wilkins already has the reputation befitting a reliable audio brand, so the company was bound to enter the fray with a refined pair of wireless earbuds. Its audiophile chops pretty much infer that you're entering a more luxurious level in both...

Superb sound quality Comfortable fit Hi-res audio support Excellent call quality Case and cable can stream Good ANC performance

No EQ No LDAC So-so battery life Expensive

Bowers & Wilkins stays true to its reputation by delivering superb sound with the PI7 earbuds, putting them on the same pedestal as others doing the same. The case plays a dual role that is super useful, but the rest of the overall package forces...
