### 2/5 — Disappointed customer

*2023-01-04, version 3.1.7*

Everytime I take my headphones off the sound continues, it isn’t like the app says that it will shut off automatically, it doesn’t. I would like to know what to do to fix this or am I supposed them back. Plus the sound is low it’s not high. The noise cancellation is the only thing that works properly. As I said before the sound is low and it sounds as if it’s at a distance and not loud at all.

### 1/5 — APP DOES NOT CONNECT TO IPAD AIR 4th gen

*2023-01-01, version 3.1.7*

Please fix this. Headphones will connect via app but music will not play. I try with my iPhone and same thing. I then try to turn my Bluetooth off on my phone and turn it back on and I’m able to connect. I try this with my iPad and It will not work correctly. It does not locate the Bluetooth device.

### 2/5 — Read the other reviews.  My advice is skip the app until it’s revised.

*2022-12-16, version 3.1.7*

The PI5 is a decent device at a good price point. They paired w my iPhone but not with an iPad (new Pro). After a couple of hours, I deleted the app w iOS and its settings. The PI5’s paired on first try w iOS Bluetooth settings. The app was the problem. By the way, there’s a review the mentioned that the IEMs reported to pair successfully in the app, however, the audio came through the iPads speakers. I had to check but it was true — Ridiculous. If you like the PI5’ then keep them and just use the iOS music settings until B&W’s headphone app is fixed. Thanks.

**Developer response:** Hi swross, thanks for your feedback; we're sorry to hear of the issue you have experienced.

Audio pairing is separate from the app and is initiated by the small, internal switch in the case, after a couple of seconds press. Up to 3 devices can be retained in the memory of the earbuds. 

For individual support, please contact either your retailer, or ourselves directly, through support@bowerswilkins.com.

Many thanks, Bowers & Wilkins.

### 4/5 — The app is fine, but PX7's flawed design

*2022-11-22, version 3.1.7*

At first, I thought that it was the app makes my PX7 noise canceling button stop working. Nope, the app is fine.

The issue is that PX7 headphones are made of nylon and graphite - both may generate and distribute static electricity in contact with hair so various faults I would attribute to that and not the software or app.

### 1/5 — Absolutely Horrible App and Software

*2022-11-20, version 3.1.7*

Every time I try to listen to these cans through my iPhone (up to date). I have to go through a weird and random combination of connecting via the (worthless) app and the native Bluetooth interface. This has plagued me for a few years now and is the reason I rarely use these headphones, will never buy another set again, and have told anyone who'll listen not to buy your brand. For a $400+ product I shouldn't have to allow for an additional 30minutes of my trip preparing to get these headphones to connect to my device. 

This is a shame because the headphones, when they work, sound great.

**Developer response:** Hi Hsbbba, thanks for your feedback; we're sorry to hear of the issue you have described.

Audio pairing is separate from the app and paired devices are stored by the phone for selection.

If you need any support, please contact us directly, through support@bowerswilkins.com.

Many thanks, Bowers & Wilkins.

### 1/5 — No longer can tell you hour batter life and no longer connects to Iohone since the update

*2022-11-13, version 3.1.7*

Fantastic product ( Px7) , terrible app. No way to tell battery life as the app searches for a connection and never finds it.  Pre- update, it worked fine.

A company that makes such amazing products should not make an app this bad.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-09-09, version 3.1.6*

Won’t recognize my PX7 set. (Yes, tried resetting the headset and reinstalling the app, and made sure headset is connected to phone in Bluetooth). And the PX7 set itself makes a loud scratchy noise in left phone when any level of noise-canceling is on. It’s done this almost since I got them. Got a replacement set; same problem. B&W seems uninterested in this defect

### 3/5 — Please fix the application!

*2022-08-10, version 3.1.6*

Hello, I got my pI7 and the application is not satisfying, I’d like to;
*change my touch controls,
*manage the exact sound I wanna hear, 
*and I literally can’t activate the ambient sound when I want to, (like I’m working out in the gym and someone comes and starts talking and I have to take them out of my ears because there’s no touch control to activate ambient sound!) 
*Also I can’t control siri with my voice!
*Please make a short cut for the battery, it’s hard to go to the app every time I wanna check my battery due to it takes a while to contact, even though they are connected to my phone!
Please fix this bogus, the sound quality is perfect and I love the soundscape Future.

### 1/5 — Needs EQ

*2022-07-09, version 3.1.6*

While I really like the headphones themselves the app has been a total disappointment. It only has the bare minimum of features that really contributes next to nothing to the headphones themselves. Glaringly, next to the headphones that it competes against it lack EQ control. While using this with music on my iPhone is somewhat alleviated using the phone it does nothing when using my Pandora channel. The new B&W music app updated this but isn’t backward compatible with the existing headphone app. Please either update the app it make more useful or make the new app backwards compatible with my Px7 headphones.

**Developer response:** Hi tolah5, Many thanks for your purchase and your review; it's great to hear that you are loving your headphones. An EQ is on the wishlist for inclusion. If you ever need us for anything; please get in touch through support@bowerswilkins.com. Many thanks, Bowers & Wilkins

### 2/5 — App Does Not Work

*2022-06-29, version 3.1.5*

I have the PX7 and like a previous reviewer I am happy with the performance but the app will also not connect to my iPhone - in a different way. I have re-paired, rebooted (hard and graceful). Music plays just fine. I can turn noise cancelling on and off from the slider in the app, I show battery levels of the case and both earbuds, but when I try to enable auto noise cancelling or ambient pass through I get an error and it does not enable either feature.  Completely second his/her suggestions to add a loudness option, and at a minimum a few eq profiles.  The app is fairly basic to be honest.
