If I had to list the most commonly requested features from readers looking for headphone-buying advice, it would look something like this: wireless, noise canceling, stylish, and preferably easy to hook up with something universal like a USB-C connector. Alright, so the last item on that list is primarily my own desire, but pardon me for getting excited to see that Bowers & Wilkins’ first noise-canceling cans, the PX, do indeed feature the same charging port as my phone and laptop. One charger to rule them all!

Beside moving away from the MicroUSB that you’ll find on its P7 Wireless headphones, Bowers & Wilkins is also introducing an updated design and aesthetic with its new PX pair. It’s still recognizably a part of the P series of cans, but it has a patterned ballistic nylon exterior to each cup and a more streamlined headband design. My colleagues Dan Seifert and Chris Welch, who got to try out the new PX ahead of their announcement, report that they feel well built and somewhat heavy (335g) — so they should withstand the test of time, but their fit might not be as forgiving as some of their competitors. Most people’s favorite noise-canceling headphones are either the Sony 1000X, which I favor, or the Bose QC35s, both of which stand out with their long-lasting comfort.
