Best Noise-Canceling Headphones I've Tested for 2026

Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S3 may not be the company's flagship headphones (the new PX8 S2 are), but they're arguably the better value as the PX8 S2 cost a whopping $799. While that step-up model does have a little swankier finish, as well as upgraded...

improved sound quality; superior noise canceling; trimmer design; USB-C audio

sound and noise canceling doesn't rise above the competition in this price range

Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3: Lab Tested - RTINGS.com

The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 are good for travel. They're comfortable with premium faux leather and plenty of padding, even with glasses. They're fairly portable for over-ears and come with a sturdy case. Their 29-hour battery life easily lasts through...

Comfortable fit, 29-hour battery life, extensive connectivity

Mic is decent, but can cut out your voice with very loud background noise, peaks and dips can be difficult to smooth, even with app's eq

Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 Review: My Favorite Headphones of the Year! Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 Review: My Favorite Headphones of the Year!

What really sets the Px7 S3 apart is their focus. These headphones aren't overloaded with gimmicky features or trying to outdo competitors with flash. Instead, Bowers & Wilkins honed in on what matters most—phenomenal sound, long-wearing comfort, and...

with emotional depth and fine detail ; for long sessions, even with glasses ; with premium materials and thoughtful design ; —no need for touch gimmicks ; and a focus on sustainability ; that stand out quietly

The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 are my personal standout product of the year. Not just among headphones, but across all tech I’ve tested. They embody what great product design should be—refined, focused, and deeply satisfying to use.

Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 Review

The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 offer terrific sound to go with their stylish appearance, good comfort levels and excellent wireless performance.

Class-leading sound ; Good comfort ; Excellent wireless performance ; Solid battery life ; Clear call quality

ANC not much, if any, improvement over older model ; Transparency mode could be clearer

I tested these over-ear wireless noise-cancelling headphones and there's nothing better to spend your money on for sound quality

Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 are the best (and priciest) over-ears in the series so far

Balanced, entertaining and thoroughly convincing sound ; Impressive standard of build and finish ; Even more impressive specification (with more features to come)

Susceptible to wind noise ; Restricted physical controls ; Price is creeping upwards

Impressive in pretty much every respect, this S3 version of the Px7 is one of Bowers & Wilkins’ very best products when judged on a pound-for-pound basis – and I do not say that lightly.

Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 review

Beautiful headphones that make a stunning sound

Full-bodied sonic character ; Impressive levels of textural insight ; Decent array of features ; Beautifully made

Very strong competition at this level ; Don’t fold away ; Not all features are available straight away

Lovely to look at and a pleasure to listen to, the Px7 S3 have laid down a serious marker at this level.

Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S3 could beat Sony and Bose to be 2025’s premium noise-cancelling headphone champ

The PX7 S3 could be the headphone benchmark in the sub-premium price range - but the PX8 S2 are also coming further up the range this year

(Rating Hidden)

The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 are truly premium headphones, aimed at anyone who wants the very best (on paper, at least) and is willing to pay for it. However, a high price isn't always a guarantee of quality, so we sent them to our test lab to put their...
