Welcome to Bowers & Wilkins and PX7
Thank you for choosing Bowers & Wilkins. When John Bowers rst
established our company, he did so in the belief that imaginative design,
innovative engineering and advanced technology were keys that could unlock
the enjoyment of audio in the home. His belief is one that we continue to share
and inspires every product we design, tailored for new audio experiences outside
of the home.
The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 are high performance over-ear headphones designed
to deliver the highest quality mobile personal audio experience combined with
the convenience of wireless operation and the serenity of noise-cancellation. This
manual will tell you everything you need to know to get the most from your PX7
headphones.
Your PX7 can play music streamed wirelessly from your mobile phone, tablet or
computer via Bluetooth, or conventionally connected by a jack cable to a suitable
analogue headphone output. PX7 can also play audio via a USB connection from
a computer and can be used for wireless telephony.
PX7 Real World Listening features include our latest innovations in Adaptive
Noise Cancellation, Ambient Pass-Through and enhanced Wear Sensing
technologies. Our latest generation noise cancellation feature was designed
from the ground up with intelligent environment sensing capabilities,
automatically selecting the appropriate type of noise cancellation best suited
to your surrounding environment, its only goal is to deliver an uncompromised
listening experience. Ambient Pass-Through enables external sounds, such as
conversation or safety announcements, to be heard clearly without any need
to remove the headphones. The Wear Sensing feature enables PX7 to respond
naturally, pausing and resuming the music simply by lifting either earpiece on
or off your ear. These features can be enabled and further customised via the
Bowers & Wilkins Headphone App available for free on iOS and Android devices.
ENGLISH
PX7 incorporates a rechargeable battery pack. When fully charged, depending
on the degree of Bluetooth, Adaptive Noise Cancellation and Ambient Passthrough use, the battery pack can provide up to 30 hours of continuous
wireless media streaming with noise cancellation enabled at average playback
volume levels.
