Customers are mixed about the build quality of the headphones. Some mention that they're of good quality, while others say that they have lower quality components and construction. The sound was decent but just not good enough for a $350 pair of headphones. They broke in less than two years.

The phone's ear cup is large so it can cover the ears completely without pressing. They are very comfortable and stay in place while moving about. However, others say that they are tight fit for a person with a small head, a little big, and barely fit over their ears.

Pros
1. Sound quality is undoubtedly the best among all the above. Clean, wide soundstage, extreme clarity. Bass is on point. If you are a bass head, please look elsewhere. At the time of writing this review, B&W does not provide an equalizer in-app. So you cannot tune the bass even if you wanted to. I expect that B&W will resolve this in a future app update. But the default sound works well for my ears. The Sonys are more boomy and muddled in terms of bass and is pleasant enough. The Bose N700 is just bad in terms of sound quality. The Sennheisers and Master and Dynamic M65 are perhaps close in terms of sound quality.
2. (Auto-)ANC is great. There are some who prefer the stronger ANC of the Sony and Boses. I never liked the ANCs on those because the pressure in my ear gets too discomforting and the hit on sound quality is significant. I'd rather have a bit of noise than ear pressure. The PX7 has somehow managed to incorporate ANC that does not cause any pressure at all. In most instances, I leave ANC off since the passive NC is good enough. I only turn on ANC on flights. The effect on sound quality is barely perceptible and the suppression of the noise is effective enough for my ears. The Sennheisers and Master and Dynamic M65 have much worse ANC.
3. Comfort. These are miles ahead of the predecessor PX. I love my PX, but the clamp force is too strong and it does not fit all ears. The PX is also much heavier. The PX7 resolves all this with a much lighter carbon fiber construction. Clamp force is still quite strong but nowhere as strong as the PX. That said, the Sonys and the Bose QC35s are still more comfortable. I only have the PX7 for a week thus far. Maybe the clamp force will continue to decrease with time. Even at the current moment, there are no issues with hours of listening. But this obviously will depend on the shape of your head.
4. The Bluetooth 5 connectivity seems to be great. I had sporadic connection issues with the other headphones and none absolutely with the PX7 so far. The fact that you can connect two devices at once is a great advantage over the Sony XM3. For example, I use my phone for music when walking to my flight and go into my iPad for movie watching seamlessly when I am in my seat.
5. Misc. Auto-pause works as great as in the PX. The auto ANC mode seems to work well, though I generally prefer to control the ANC manually. The app is an aesthetic improvement over the old app for the PX, but rather basic at the moment - no EQ. The Sony and Bose apps are better developed. Master and Dynamic has no app whatsoever.
6. Power. These charges on USB-C like the other flagships. I have no issues with any USB C source. This cannot be said for the Sennheiser, which are extremely fussy in terms of power source, e.g., I cannot charge the Momentum 3s using my MacBook Pro’s charger! Battery life is great.
7. Design. Matter of taste, but the Master and Dynamic M65 has the best design in my opinion and the previous PX is a close second. Maybe the Bose N700 is third. The PX7 does feel cheaper than PX because it is no longer metal and hefty. The upside is of course comfortable. It still feels more premium than the Sonys and Bose QC35.
To summarize, this is certainly the best ANC headphone at the current moment. It is expensive but on par with other new flagships. The sound quality is unrivaled. The ANC is a matter of taste, but if you are someone who hates uncomfortable, strong ANC, these are for you. Comfort is much better over PX, but Sonys still win on this.
Minor update
----------------
1. Portability. These fold flat and are quite portable without the case. But the case is pretty large compared to the Sony XM3. Weight + volume - Sony XM3 definitely more portable.
Here’s my opinion about the PX7’s:
PROs:
-The Soundstage! Wow these are fun to listen to! Such great stereo separation, the other two didn’t come close. This is ultimately why I picked the PX7’s.
-Excellent noise cancelation
-Battery level shows on your paired device
-Accurate lows, although definitely has a boosted low end over the others. I don’t mind it, not obnoxious. It made them more fun to listen to music, which is my intended purpose. Not using as monitors.
-Great mic for phone conversations. I used these in some MS Teams meetings with good feedback on my voice quality.
-Dual device pairing worked well for me, going from IPhone11 to Windows computer.
CONs:
-No EQ adjustment in the app.
-Not a flat sound signature, although I don’t mind it. Maybe not a great studio choice.
-Ear pads could be softer and they are a bit on the small side for my ears. The Sony M4’s were more comfortable on my head.
What I also found in my testing was that all 3 headphones did not sound near as crisp and punchy as my closed back’s on a desktop DAC/Amp and not nearly as loud. So if that’s your expectation, lower it. That said, all these sounded better when pushed by an amp instead of internal power.
The Sony M4’s were a close second for me and I could be happy with them in all honesty. They were cheaper. Their BT connections/transitions were more seamless than the B&W. Their ear cups were more comfortable. I liked the touch gestures. They had an accurate and pretty flat sound signature that I really liked, plus a way better control app with an EQ. But not great separation which takes the fun out of stereo music for me.

I can't talk about longevity but I am a bit of an audiophile and have other B&W products and they have served me very well over the years. Headphones give you a completely different perspective and often the over ear variety don't afford you the range that these do. The clarity is excellent. The static over BT at times is present but the slightest input clears it.
The noise cancelling is also brilliant. Effective and easily switched on an off (further adjustment via the app).
The ear pads are soft, secure and not too hot. It's hard to fault these things!
Charges in no time.
I am slightly concerned they plastics will scratch but intend on being careful with them so don't expect this too much beyond normal wear and tear.
