• My B&W's are great at sound quality & noise blocking (not 100% silence but close) however they're huge fail on calls in open areas as they pick up and amplify ambient voices to be louder than mine I'm told. A bit annoying.

  • Hmm, was it the PX7 S2 you ended up with @rhb ?

    I got a pair of the PX7 S2e for Christmas and have had no problems with phone calls inside the house but not sure that really counts as an open area?

    I love them so much anyway I could live with that if it's not been sorted by the 'evolution'. They were an upgrade for me from the original PX I bought ~6 years ago and feel like a real step up. They're more neutral/restrained (i.e. more typical B&W) than the S2's, which I'd say are a bit more of a 'crowdpleaser' with more bass and a warmer sound having done lots of comparison listening at Richer Sounds and with my own PX's.

    I ordered them for £299 from Currys just before Christmas - I think this was a misprice actually - then got £29 cashback and a £15 Currys voucher for buying them so I was pretty happy with that!
