Bowers & Wilkins PI7 vs PI5 Earbuds Review | Sonically Superb...But Worth $399?

[@insidetechltd]

Ok...THESE are the new best sounding true wireless earbuds you can buy. But would you pay $399 for them..? 👀

[@simonsaysrewind]

Nope 😆 I would like them free if you giving 1 away 😆🤣

[@TylerMarsh87]

I’m trying too but they’re sold out. I was told 30-60 days until a restock by an authorized dealer. Seems there is super high demand for these buds regardless of price.

[@insidetechltd]

Ah thanks a lot 😄

[@malcolmwright430]

Thanks for another incredible review. I'm in two minds about whether such a high price tag can be justified for the IP7's given the features or lack off that you covered in this comprehensive appraisal.

[@insidetechltd]

[@rodcoop119]

Outstanding review, I was considering the B&W PI7’s as we have a few Bower & Wilkins products already. Thank you for a great review we will wait a year or so see what developments B&W incorporate into the next model or improvements to the PI7 before we spend that much. We have Headphones from B&W I’m satisfied with those although more cumbersome for travelling.

[@insidetechltd]

Thank you so much! Sounds sensible. This is their gen 1 product, so it'll be interesting seeing what the come up with next!

[@MrDerya94]

I just bought the IP5 for 115€ from Amazon and must really say that I’m gladly surprised. I really like the sound of these and how crystal clear they deliver voices from different genres. My last on the go headphones were the normal Air Pods so this was a huge upgrade. I had never connection or app problems on iPhone. I give them 4/5, for under 150 these are totaly worth it.

[@insidetechltd]

Great price!

[@riz7588]

[@insidetechltd]

Haha thanks 😅

[@JoeGillian0]

I absolutely agree with your conclusions except the ANC on the PI7 worked well for my case. They really need better controls customization and much longer battery life, then i think they would be unmatched. Also the pairing process is a no go for me as well as limitation of transmitter case to B&W only products. I have a small bluetooth emitter around i bought for 20 euros that i take with me when i am on a plane (they have dual receiving and transmitting audio) Especially At their price point they should be flawless...how you going to review Devialet Gemin?

[@insidetechltd]

I agree, they need to be flawless (or at least closer to it) at this price point! No plans to review Devialet Gemini yet, but if I get time and enough people want it then I will!

[@karlcleveley1114]

I'm a virgin earbuder, so this is all new to me. I've ordered my PI7 today. Not too concerned about not having an equaliser on the B&W app as I already have this on my music player...just a tad concerned whether or not they will fit into my ears or not. I'm surprised that earbud developers have not thought about memory foam buds, that remember the size of your ear canals.

[@insidetechltd]

Some earbuds have comply foam eartips bundled in the box. These don't, but they do have a universal eartip size - so you can buy your own and swap them in if you like 👍🏼

[@sebastianlejon1313]

I've only tried these out in a hi-fi store near where I live, and honestly they sound so damn good for True Wireless earbuds (the PI7's, that is). But I feel kinda exactly like you're saying: The PI7's are so damn expensive that i'm not sure that it's worth the upgrade on sound over for an example Sony and Sennheisers' offerings that are at this point almost half the price (or at least 35% cheaper). The PI5's sound great too but they're definitely less of a compelling package at that price point compared to some other brands too, so I'd have a hard time recommending those unless someone is a real B&W fan but don't want to break their piggy bank just yet. If you got money to spare and want the best sound the Pi7's are a major go, but i'm not sure if they're worth it for a lot of people. I'm still personally on the fence, i'm not exactly flush with cash but I really do enjoy audio, and i'm in that awkward stage where I kinda only like in-ears and want the best sound, and I can't go back to cables at this point so all the real wired IEMs that probably sound better than these at lower pricepoints are just not for me at this point either. But since our return policies for earbuds here are non-existent (if you open the package, you ain't returning them, that's that) I don't feel like I can spend enough time with them to see if I think they're actually worth it.

[@insidetechltd]

Very well said. And I completely relate to this! It’s really tough if you’ve not got a returns policy guarantee 😕 I’d be inclined to say that the PI7 needed to tick a few more boxes first, or maybe wait and see if the price drops a little?

[@philippesandmeier3736]

thanks for the very honest review of these two earbuds from B&W; at the price of the PI7, you would expect a better execution; just having the best sound at that price won't get me to make a purchase, unfortunately....

Was tempted to get the 2nd gen AirPods Pro’s but having already owned the 1st pair. They never fully stayed in my ears. Hence the beats fit pro. All the apple technology with the H1 chip while having a good fit in ur ear. Stable connection and a price point which wasn’t too much compared to the airpods and Bose quietcomfort

[@rickwells9929]

I listened to Foosy Carter review and these are kicking and dope. I went right to B&W and ordered the exact color I wanted charcoal and gold. Cost was 433$ with tax. At this price tag it’s not for the faint of heart, but I want deep Rich bass!!! B&W are in all high end BMWs and McLaren so meed I say more from a company started in 1966 in England.

Great review plenty of details covered. I'm on the fence, the sound I'm sure is good which is what I'm after, I don't care about features but the price vs batt life..I dunnu. I'm heard the Sony MX4 are also right up there, but I really love the BT transmitting feature because I have an old ipod classic converted to ssd and I'd like to make that wireless.

[@insidetechltd]

Thanks a lot! Sony's M4s are very close to be fair... Also LG have some upcoming earbuds (review from me coming later this month) which have the BT transmitting feature! They're a LOT cheaper than the B&W earbuds, so that might be worth looking into!

[@johnnymunoz5014]

I had the Sony mx4 and returned them. They lack volume

[@charliewilson3234]

I bought them, have them for 2 weeks now. Good sound, it's clear good bass and does a really good job with producing sound, but if your file is of low quality you will be able to tell with the PI7. The batt drains quick, call quality is good, Have the ability to be EQed and not fall apart as others, does not play loud out the box. I still like the JayBird X3 better over these. JayBird for gym and runs when I need pumping up, PI7 for relaxed listening sessions. I also found the BT range weak paired with a Note9. 8 to 9 Ft. Its a bummer as I work in my garage and listen to podcasts and walk away from my phone often and it's breaks up, so I used the X3. These are great because you can eq and then it has a great sound. I use Poweramp pro with the ability to eq and increase preamp vol. My 2 cents. If these are going to be your only pair you might not like them the $400 price tag is bunk. Also connected to ipod classic and used BT transmission function, the volume out put was worthless. Very low.

[@gulfblue]

Hi InsideTech! I know this is about something you reviewed two years ago, but I just picked up the SANDMARC telephoto zoom lens for my iPhone XS, and my camera goes black if I zoom in over 2x. Do you know the fix for this? Love the videos!

[@insidetechltd]

Thank you! I certainly do, because I had the same problem. So you’re using the default camera app right? Unfortunately the iPhone will try to switch back to the other camera (which is blocked by the lens and that’s why it looks black). So you have to use a third party app to manually select the Tele lens. You can use something like “Lightroom” (which is free) or other third party apps. You don’t need to pay for a subscription or anything like that. I used Lightroom, and it let me select each lens manually and fixed the issue!

[@dennysmith2291]

I have sennheiser momentum 2.....is it worth the upgrade. awesome video thank you 😊

I don't think so. Before these, the momentum 2 were generally considered to be the best sounding. The difference is close enough that the other factors and the price doesn't make it worth switching (unless you're unhappy with Sennheiser's earbuds)

[@insidetechltd]

Thanks a lot! I think the PI7 are superior for sound, especially with the treble. The roll off in the highs on the MW08 means the highs don't sparkle as much as with the PI7. Both sound excellent though!

[@bill3117]

Great review! I love B&W products. I have their full sized PX7 headphones. Do these allow connection between two devices at once? Like an iPhone and iPad? I’m torn between these and the Apple AirPod Pro earbuds. I’m sure the Apple AirPod Pros probably don’t sound as good as the B&W I7, but the Apple walled garden usually has some features that third parties don’t get to offer.

[@insidetechltd]

Thank you very much! No, there is no multipoint here - so you can't be connected to two devices at once. You could always get AirPods for causal use and switching between iPhone and iPad, and then use the PX7 for high quality audio 🤷‍♂️

[@stevel4329]

Mine should be here today. I do not listen for longer than 4 hours at a time typically and I do not care about all the other bells and whistles. I understand the convenience and needs of the majority but I want them simply for the sound quality. Everyone says they are the best sounding so I can not wait to hear them later today. I will be running them with my Hiby R6 2020 so they will not be with a phone as this is another reason for getting them to take advantage of Hi-Res.

Honestly, they are incredible - even just over bluetooth straight to a phone. Amazing sound quality. I hope you love them, but let us know what you think when they arrive!

[@stevel4329]

@@insidetechltd They arrived and the sound is YES the best wireless in ear I have ever heard. I am so glad I did not get the new Sony headphones. Before this i liked the devialet Gemini's. But man these are simply amazing! I have no idea how they did this. They sound better than some over ear cans! The vocals are upfront but not in your face. The midrange is exceptional, and the Bass is both strong and detailed. There is a mid bass, there is a low end. They are very dynamic. Only thing is I am only getting an Apt X connection with my Hiby R6 and at times I am getting some cut out during playback. Now I am not using a phone but a pretty good DAP in the NEW HiBy R6. I am thinking it might be the Hiby rather than the PI7's. Have you experienced any connection issues?

[@insidetechltd]

Agreed - better than a lot of over-ear headphones! Yes, I expect the issue is with the Hiby player because i've not had issues with the phones i've tested. I'm no expert on Hiby, but it could be to do with the antennas/bluetooth profiles - I really wouldn't know. But the PI7 were engineered to work with phones so better performance with them makes sense. Are you able to fiddle with the settings on the Hiby? Play around with the codecs etc?

[@stevel4329]

@@insidetechltd Connection is better now with Hiby. I also tried streaming from my NAD M10 via apt X connection and the M10 Does apt X HD yet the app is stating apt X only. Does it always default to this and is there something I am missing if you happen to know? Or is this other codec only available when using the charging case as the streamer? Thanks in advance for any insight you may have! Appreciate it!

[@insidetechltd]

I can't say exactly, having not tested that device myself, but a lot of phones often default to particular codecs like aptX. With those you can go into the settings to choose a specific codec, so is that possible on your device? It might be only on the device end that you can specify this 🤷‍♂️

No they aren’t. And I mainly say that because Sony’s earbuds are a lot louder. So if that’s important to you then stay with Sony. If you think Jabra are quiet, the B&W earbuds definitely will be.

@@jameswilkinson150 First of all, you're only seeing some capture of me putting the earbuds in my ears to film with them - this doesn't necessarily represent the way I wore them every single time I used them. Secondly, If I place the earbuds in my ears naturally, comfortable (as anyone else will) and the microphone is poorly positioned....so be it! That's a design flaw, or perhaps they just don't work well for me (and this review is my experience, my thoughts). If you have to wear them differently to 'normal' just to satisfy the mic positioning, that's a flaw with the earbuds. It's nothing to do with not bothering. This is my experience from using the earbuds, it doesn't invalidate the results I found at all, perhaps just your perception of it.

Not every review I make is for everyone, I hope you find the one you're after!

@@insidetechltd OK, I like reviews that actually know what they’re talking about, so I won’t find it here.
