Very good, I come from Samsung Earbuds Pro 2 earphones. which were always full and no longer sounded good... it was time for something different and no more in-ear. After some searching on the internet I came across these headphones, I think the price was quite favorable at the moment they are a lot cheaper than when they came out.
I am very satisfied with the sound. The sound sounds more spacious and fuller than I am used to with in- and on-ear headphones. (jbl/sennheiser inear/samsung/ps5). Or it may be that I now have "high end" headphones on and pay more attention to them, but I can distinguish the individual musical instruments better. I now understand what they mean by being able to hear more details. I haven't had it at full volume yet, it was too loud for me. Noise canceling works well, good enough for me, loud clatter in the gym can be heard, but I no longer hear the whirring of fans, etc., and it can also block wind and rain well. (noise canceling Samsung Buds Pro2 was better to be honest)
The Bowers interface is not really necessary, I adjust the sound from the Spotify equalizer, which gives me more setting options than with the Bowers software (bass and treble).
I don't agree at all with the clamps that some others complain about, it fits well over my ears and is not too tight (I also have a thick head). I am very satisfied with the clamping force, I mainly bought it for sports, even on the treadmill I can continue to enjoy the beautiful music. Wearing time 1.5 hours per day.

After years of using my Sennheiser wireless headphones (HD4.50), it was time for something different. I was looking for something high-end, but unfortunately the Sennheiser range is not easy to find. Then I came to this one in the recent Olen branch.
The headphones are made of high-quality materials and the unboxing experience was also great. Then I immediately tested it and I had never experienced what a sound these headphones produce. The high tones stand out, while it can also produce an unparalleled low bass. The sound is very balanced, without any form of sound tweaking via an equalizer - out-of-the-box. You can also operate and equalize it via the B&W app, I have not tried that yet, but that is not even necessary to make it sound beautiful. The device is simply plug & play (and even the plug is not necessary, because it is wireless). I was not able to spot any form of distortion during the first few hours of playing! Something that you can sometimes experience in the lower price range at higher volumes (cough cough JBL).
If you have the budget to purchase this, look no further. Forget JBL, Bose, Sony... Only Sennheiser can compete with these, but as mentioned above, you will not easily find this price range at the major chains. I don't regret my purchase, just my wallet was a bit sad.

I'm happy with my purchase. I use the headphones daily at the office, and the sound is excellent, as is the comfort. I can easily wear them for hours without any problems. The noise canceling is excellent for the office; you can no longer hear the air conditioning, and you can no longer hear colleagues as soon as you start listening to music. The design is also very sleek; it looks premium without being too obtrusive. The battery life is excellent; after a full week of use (at least 4 hours a day), I often still have more than 65% battery left.
While the noise canceling is good in the office and "quieter" environments, the noise canceling of headphones like Sony or AirPods is better. I don't necessarily see this as a drawback, as I find excessive noise canceling annoying. I feel that these headphones offer excellent "passive" noise canceling. One final drawback is that the case had a very strong "factory" smell for the first few weeks, which the headphones smelled of while wearing.
The device's app is fine. Connecting the headphones went smoothly, the settings were easy to find, and updates worked smoothly. The app also connects to other B&W devices and a number of music services, but Apple Music and Spotify are not included.
All in all, I'm very satisfied with my purchase and would buy it again.
