Bowers & Wilkins Px headphones are built like small hi-fi systems, with materials and drivers that justify the price. The parts that wear are the soft ones you touch, and the battery. That is good news, because those are exactly the parts that can be replaced.
Blue Apple repairs Bowers & Wilkins headphones at Rijnstraat 76-H in Amsterdam. Every model has its own page with the repairs we offer for it: start at the Bowers & Wilkins headphones repair page.
What usually goes wrong with Bowers & Wilkins headphones
- Ear cushions that wear or peel. The cushions take sweat, skin oil and daily handling. As they wear they lose their seal around the ear, and the bass and the noise cancelling both suffer.
- Headband wear. The padding and its cover flatten and mark with use.
- Battery that fades. After a few years of daily charging, battery life drops noticeably.
- USB-C port faults. A loose or dirty port that charges only at an angle.
- Sound on one side. A cup that is quiet, or a crackle, can be a driver or the wire to it.
The Bowers & Wilkins models we repair
Every model below has its own page, with the repairs we offer for it and what each one costs.
Bowers & Wilkins Px8, Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3, Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e.
Repair or replace?
The Px8 and Px7 are premium headphones and are worth repairing: new cushions, a new band pad or a new battery brings back most of what the pair gave when new, for a fraction of the cost. We say after the diagnosis if a pair has too many faults to be worthwhile.
Looking after your headphones
- Wipe the cushions with a dry cloth. Skin oil breaks down the surface.
- Store them in the case. It protects the band and the cups.
- Do not leave them in the sun. Heat is the enemy of batteries and cushions alike.

Questions about Bowers & Wilkins repair
Do you repair the Px8 and the Px7?
Yes: Px8, Px7 S3 and Px7 S2e are all on the Bowers & Wilkins page.
Will new ear cushions change the sound?
They restore the seal the headphones were tuned with, so the bass and the cancelling usually come back.
