Bowers & Wilkins has released new versions of its two models of noise-canceling earbuds: the Pi5 S2 and Pi7 S2 . They’re available starting January 25 and feature small but welcome improvements to their predecessors, the PI5 and PI7, which launched in 2021. The company says both new models have improved battery life and better Bluetooth connectivity.
B&W says that the refreshed earbuds have better battery life, but it’s only a modest gain over the previous versions. The Pi5 S2’s stated battery life is now five hours, up by 30 minutes over the PI5’s 4.5 hours. Strangely, the charging case has a smaller capacity than the PI5 — just 19 hours instead of 20 . For their part, the Pi7 S2 also have a claimed 5 hours of continuous playback on a single charge, versus the four hours of the PI7.
On the software side of the story, B&W is continuing to consolidate all of its products under its Bowers & Wilkins Music app. The PI7 and PI5 were controlled via the company’s Headphones app, but this was strictly limited to performing changes to the buds’ settings. Under the Music app, the Pi7 S2 and Pi5 S2 can be managed, along with any other compatible B&W speakers, like its Panorama 3 Soundbar or its latest wireless headphones, the Px7 S2 and Px8.
