Time is running out to grab these once-in-a-lifetime Bowers & Wilkins headphones deals

Noise cancelling headphones: Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e

If ever there was a deal we'd urge you to snap up, it would be one of these two. If you're on the hunt for some stunning premium wireless headphones that can rival the Sony WH-1000XM5 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones for sound quality and which look the absolute business, get your skates on and snap one of these up. Two of Bowers & Wilkins's finest over-ear headphones – the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 and the Px7 S2e – are on sale, and we've rarely seen them fall so low, but you'll need to hurry - Prime Day has ended and we don't know how long they'll stick around. 

The older Px7 S2 retailed originally at £379 (roughly the same as the Sony WH-1000XM5's official RRP) but have fallen to £238 at Amazon, while the Px7 S2e are down to £299 at Amazon from their original £379 tag. Both are great deals, but they're not going to last much longer considering the fact that Prime Day has, officially at least, left us for another year.

They're the older of the two pairs here, but all that means is that you're getting an even bigger clobbering of that original RRP. Arriving in 2022 for £379, the five-star B&W Px7 S2 are remarkable over-ear headphones, rivalling the best in class and proving that Bowers is as good with wearable products as it is with "proper" hi-fi. Act now before Amazon changes its mind.

This is almost the biggest major discount we've seen for the B&W Px7 S2e, although they did go slightly lower during Prime Day. These beautifully made, sonically adept wireless over-ears are worthy of their glowing five-star rating, and while they're usually around the same price as the Award-winning Sony WH-1000XM5, this superb deal makes them supremely attractive.

Both of these deals look like exceptional value, but which is right for you? Happily, they're both major drops on five-star headphones, so you're going to go home happy no matter which one you pick. There are some subtle differences between the two sets, however, that could help to sway your decision somewhat.

Both offer similar feature sets, including strong noise cancelling capabilities that are customisable via the smooth-operating B&W headphones app. The Px7 S2e can last for 30 hours without needing a charge, the same figures as the older S2 model, with aptX Adaptive support translating across both. Each pair offers a built-in microphone and on-ear controls, the latter of which can also be customised via the onboard app. 

Sonically, the Px7 S2e are the slightly more refined and dynamic performers. An upgraded twist on the standard S2 model, the "e" iteration do have the same 40mm custom drivers, leading to a similar overall sonic profile, What distinguishes them is the greater sense of coherency and dynamic contrast, blending in those exciting new ingredients with the natural detail and clarity displayed by the S2. Both pairs are outstanding, yet it's the newer over-ears that just about take the cake, as we'd expect from a supposed upgrade. 

The S2 have dropped to a lower price, being an older model that has been semi-ousted by a newer contender. Still, we'd happily recommend either model over at Amazon, so you can't go wrong no matter your choice. All we'd tell you to do is to hurry, because Prime Day is over and these unprecedented prices will likely be gone in the next days or, more likely, hours.

The Dyson OnTrac wireless headphones are eye-catching, but can they compete with Apple AirPods Max?
