Enjoy the finest sound quality, wherever you are, with the Active Noise Cancelling Bowers & Wilkins PX5 headphones.
Exceptional Bowers & Wilkins sound quality
From the company behind the speakers at Abbey Road studios, amongst others, the PX5 delivers the class-leading sound quality you’d expect. Custom-designed, 35mm drive units are developed and tuned by the same team behind the £22,500 Diamond 800 speakers used as reference speakers the world over. This means you get sensational levels of detail and realism that others simply gloss over.
Keep the outside world out, with Adaptive Noise Cancellation
Making sure you hear every drop of detail from the high resolution drivers, ANC (Adaptive Noise Cancelling) ensures an inky dark background. Whether you’re at a busy station or terminal or travelling by train, plane or coach, adaptive noise cancelation measures the background and cancels it out – letting you concentrate on the music.
Sleek style – race-car inspired
Just like high performance motorsport cars and bikes, the PX5 uses woven carbon fibre composite components. These ultra-strong arms give the PX5 headphones the perfect combination of light weight and strength. They also come with a storage case for protection when not in use.
Long battery life
With up to 25 hours battery life, the PX5s have enough juice for a whole day of music. What’s more, this is with Bluetooth and ANC activated, so you don’t have to go wired and passive to get this battery life. If you’re in a hurry, just 15 minutes of charge is enough for five hours playback.
Intelligent functions
They might be packed with technology, but that doesn’t make the PX5s difficult to use. In fact, they’re amongst the most user-friendly headphones in their class. Rather than using an array of fiddly buttons, the PX5 uses intuition. Lift an ear pad to hear what’s around, for example, and the music automatically stops. Put it back and music plays on.
Make music on the move a luxury experience, with the Bowers & Wilkins PX5.

Quality Bluetooth Headphones
I bought these headphones on recommendation from the Reading branch staff and really pleased with the purchase.
These ooze premium quality which is evident from the packaging. Very comfy to wear and very very good battery life. Controls & buttons are simple to use, and noise cancelling is top notch.
I've had them about 6 weeks now, so plenty of use and settling in. Sound quality is excellent and each of family who have tried them has been equally impressed. I use the new Bluetooth aptx codex whilst streaming tidal hi-res and hearing instruments and layers I had not picked up before. Wired via a dac is also great, but to be honest the Bluetooth quality is so good, that the cables usually stay in the quality case that comes with these headphones.
I'd recommend these if you are looking for noise cancelling wireless headphones. Px5 are on ear, whilst px7 are over ear.
As ever, thanks to the Richer Sounds staff for helping me make the right choice.

Great Sound and comfortable
I've had these headphones since January after RS replaced my faulty AKGs with these and i absolutely love them. I can see a lot of people find them uncomfortable, i'm female with average size head, personally i find them comfortable but i probably don't wear them for any longer than about 1 or 2 hours either while traveling or working.
The noise cancelling is great for constant noises and muffles most other noise but voices can still mostly be heard if set on low, i found this really good when working in an office or while commuting as you can hear the stops being announced but not the rumble of the train.
Would just like to add how brilliant RS customer service is, my near by stores in London are still closed due to lockdown, when my headphones took a funny turn the other day and the right side started to fail they helped and arranged a courier to exchange them very quickly. How RS are with exchanges/getting products sent off to be fixed is brilliant and i would honestly go here for any future tech. Highly recommend!

Perfect sound quality
Had a few weeks quality amazing build and sound. Would recommend you don’t get full potential of what’s capable playing through a mobile I bet it is even better through a proper hi fi amp.

Amazing sound for a great price
I bought the Bowers and Wilkins PX5s after a discussion with one of the Richer Sounds staff while he was working from home. The friendly advice was great and really informative.
The PX5s are my first venture into wireless headphones and I'm absolutely not disappointed!
They are comfortable to wear for hours at a time. The battery life is fantastic and of course most importantly the sound is amazing! The app is great and I was surprised by the ambient pass-through options that allows outside sound to bleed on through the headphone mic.
This is my first set of Bowers and Wilkins headphones and I've a feeling it won't be the last!
