Our Verdict

Bang & Olufsen E8 3.0 True Wireless

Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 True Wireless

The Bang & Olufsen E8 3.0 True Wireless and the Bowers & Wilkins PI7 True Wireless are similarly performing headphones, and you may prefer one over the other. The Bang & Olufsen are more comfortable, have a more neutral default sound profile, and have better overall battery performance. Their companion app also offers EQ presets. However, the Bowers & Wilkins have a better noise isolation performance, thanks to their ANC system. Their carrying case can also be used as a wireless transmitter if you prefer.
