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.

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.

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.

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.
