Now that Amazon Prime Day's best deals are in full swing, there have already been plenty of headphones deals that I've covered (AirPods Pro 2 at lowest price? Check! Sony's WH-1000XM5 also at lowest ever price? Check!). But it's this premium headphones deal that's really caught my eye.
View the Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2e deal here
Sat atop T3's best headphones list, and clearly marked as the best premium headphones, the Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2e are sumptuously designed, sound brilliant and just have that materials and finish edge compared to many of the more plasticky rivals out there.
Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2e headphones: was £379, now £284 on Amazon
Netting the lucrative T3 5-star score and Platinum Award badge, while the PX7 S2e aren't massively different from their predecessor, that doesn't matter – because these are beautifully designed and made headphones that go one better on the sound-quality front for this generation. Truly among the best luxe headphones of 2024.
Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 (last gen): was £299, now £249 on Amazon
Interestingly the previous-gen model (i.e. not the 'e') is also on sale. The design is identical, the only difference is a lack of the new digital signal processing (DSP) tech that you'll find in the PX7 S2e (above). It's one way to save yet more cash though!
I've dug into third-party price-tracking site, CamelCamelCamel, which confirms the PX7 S2e has never been priced lower than this. Amazon Prime Day might not have as many mega-sale items as it once did, but when it comes to headphones deals it's a decent innings this year – and this premium offering is particularly good.
As said in my Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2e review: these headphones deliver "a marvellous ensemble of sound quality, luxurious build and sublime comfort." Any downers? "The active noise-cancellation is easily beaten by other headphones." But that's not to say it's 'bad', it's just less 'intense' than some.
But if you're not looking for the best noise-cancelling headphones specifically, then I think that Bowers & Wilkins' luxury build quality and premium finish make for a top-tier buy that's worthy of this lowered asking price.
