András, once again, to me, it is this simple: your reviews are the most comprehensive and well-steuctured as any out there. Indeed, I see no reason to look further for this information as you do such a terrific job. Tried for the SECOND time the Bose QC yesterday, and as much as I like their anc, I just can't seem to be comfortable with their size. Now to go back and look and one or two reviews you've done and check those out more fully. Thanks for this and hope you have a terrific weekend!

Let me give you a VERY useful hint in order to extend the battery HEAVILY. These ear buds are using the master & slave technology. Meaning, the earbud you take out first, serves as the master and consumes much more energy than the second one. And here it comes. When you reached a battery level of approximately 65%, put them back into the case for a moment, so they can disconnect. Then take out the one with the HIGHER battery level first. So now this one serves as master and compensates the high energy loss of the first one. Like that, I reached with ANC activated, a run time of more than 6 hours with a single charge. ANC becomes less needed, it you use memory foam tips. That also brings some extra time. The earbuds alone are outstanding, regarding the sound quality. But since the case provides a USB-C to 3.5 mm jack, I use them together with a DAC (ifi gryphon) and that makes them just MIND-BLOWING! 😁 In that case, I don't even miss the EQ in the B&W app. Anyways, I hope the info was useful to you. Best regards from Serbia😉👍

Hi András. I just wanted to say great review. That comparison between the PI5 and PI7 is what I really was looking for. If I had chose I would go with the PI7. But I am passing on both because the battery life on both the PI5 and PI7 is mediocre. I was wondering could you compare the PI7s and the Devialet Gemini(s)? The Gemini's were pulled off the market earlier this year by the manufacture over software issues. However, they were just recently re-released and are available from the same retailers that they were released to. All the reviews of the new batch of Gemini (s) have been great. Thanks again for the great review. William

Love your review man! But I have a few questions. When you use the voice assistant, do you get inconsistencies on the earbuds. For example, when I use Siri, only the right ear makes the Siri sound. Also, when you have wear sensory on, and you take one bud off your ear, does the music stop slower for the right earbud. As for the left ear bud, it almost stops instantly
