What's unique about the brand
What reviewers are saying
We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:
- They consistently produce clear and crisp sound, often exceeding expectations for soundbars, making them a reliable choice for audio fidelity.
- Bowers & Wilkins products, particularly soundbars, are known for their elegant and minimalistic designs, often featuring high-quality materials like Nappa leather, aluminum, and unique mesh fabrics. This blend of aesthetics and functionality aims to seamlessly integrate into any room decor.
Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "The low frequencies the Bowers & Wilkins can generate are very deep, hit impressively hard, are beautifully shaped, packed with detail both broad and fine, and controlled so completely that they never even hint at dragging at a rhythm or a tempo. The bottom end fairly motors along here, underpinning everything above it, but never sticking its oar too far in." (https://www.t3.com/reviews/bowers-wilkins-px8-review)
- "Midrange information is absolutely loaded with information, both broad and fine, regarding tone, timbre, texture and, in the case of vocalists, technique and character too. Communicative to an almost indecent degree, these Bowers & Wilkins headphones will make you realise a singer you thought enjoyed pretty sound technique is, in fact, right on the edge… if there's attitude or emotion to be revealed in a vocal line, the Px8 will hand it over in full." (https://www.t3.com/reviews/bowers-wilkins-px8-review)
- "There's air and warmth from both mellotron, flugelhorn and clarinet, and even the edge beat on the snare drum has plenty of undertones. The voice of Sofie Tollefsbøl is almost magical as it hangs in the air like a ghost." (https://www.lbtechreviews.com/test/speakers/bowers-wilkins-801-d4)
- "The defining characteristic of this system is something that was present in miniature with the 805D4. It's ability to combine enormous, visceral force without ever compromising on delicacy is a party piece that it is hard not to love." (https://www.avforums.com/reviews/bowers-wilkins-800-series-av-system-review.19691)
- "Suddenly, you can hear the exquisite grain of the strings, which become imbued with a lovely natural timbre, as do the woodwind clarinet and flugelhorn. Likewise, the sound of the electric piano work is so delicate and authentic, and the tautness of the plucked double bass strings is a joy to behold."
