Our Verdict

Sony WF-1000XM3 Truly Wireless

Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 True Wireless

The Sony WF-1000XM3 Truly Wireless are slightly better headphones than the Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 True Wireless. The Sony are more comfortable, have a more neutral default sound profile, which some users may prefer, and better battery performance. You can also customize their sound using their companion app's graphic EQ and presets. However, the Bowers & Wilkins have a significantly better noise isolation performance, and you can use their carrying case as a wireless transmitter.
