Hi everyone, it's Adam with World Wide Stereo.
Today's video I'm going to talk about the Bowers & Wilkins PI3 and PI4
in-ear Bluetooth headphones.
Before I get started though, I wanted to remind you to please subscribe
to our YouTube channel.
You can always leave any questions or comments below for me.
So let's dive into the Bowers & Wilkins in-ear Bluetooth headphones.
So these are the Bowers & Wilkins PI3 and PI4 in-ear Bluetooth headphones.
Let's start out talking about the PI3s here.
So, again, these are the in-ear version Bluetooth headphone.
There's no noise canceling on these and the design of them is kind of neat.
They got this kind of rubberized and it goes around,
wears around your neck kind of thing.
And the nice part about them is that on both of these headphones you'll find they
have this little, what I call, little shark fin, and that's nice because it
pushes against, like, the back of your ear and really helps it
to stay in.
And it's very comfortable.
Now, don't worry, no matter how big or small, or whatever your ear is,
you have two adjustments.
As you see I just pulled off the front ear tip and it's like a silicone
rubber material, so that also helps it to stick in really good.
So you have that, and then you also get...let me take this other piece
off right here.
You can change the size of the shark fin, so if your ear is smaller or larger here
versus smaller or larger in your ear, you can interchange these two.
And in the packet, you'll get three sizes, the ones that are included plus a small
one and a bigger one inside the package.
So the PI3s come in three colors.
You have the blue which I'm holding in front of me, you have a gray,
and then you have what they call gold.
Now, the gold here is actually...I'll show you the PI4, this is in the gold color,
so it's kind of a cream or white colored band, and then the hardware,
so the controls, and the back of the actual ear tips right here, you can see
that's where the gold lives.
But back to the PI3, you have these two harder parts on the
side here, and that's where first and foremost you're going to be
able to charge.
So it's a USBC connection.
They do include in the box a USBC to SBA adapter.
They don't give you like a wall socket plug, so you either need to have one
of those or plug it into some type of USB hub that you already have.
They do give you a nice little carrying pouch for it as well.
These they say will give you about 8 hours of battery life out of them on a
full charge, and they have the rapid charge feature where if you give them 15
minutes of charge you're going to get about 3 hours of battery life
out of these, so that's, kind of, nice and convenient if you're,
kind of, running late.
On them you have on this side your controls for when you're playing
your music, the metal one being your play and pause, that's if you hit it once.
If you hit it twice it'll track forward, if you hit it three times it
will track back.
It's also how to answer a call.
And then top and bottom is going to be your volume up or volume down.
On the back of that you can see you have your little microphone right here.
And I think these are some of the best headphones that you can do, like,
the in-ear versions because the microphone for calls always ends up being really
close to your mouth here.
So when I put these in, we'll slide it back,
you can see this is really close to my mouth, so you get really good call
quality with these.
Another feature for these when you're wearing them, so if I have them in my ears
and I'm listening, I can pull them out, and when I pull them out they magnetically
clip together and that's going to pause your music for you.
So you can take them out, you put them right here, you can talk,
do what you need to do, and then as soon as I unpin them and put
them back in my ear, the music will start playing again.
Moving on to the PI4s here.
So the PI4s from Bowers & Wilkins are Bluetooth.
All right.
And you can see they're wireless, no wire between that and my device.
But these also have the active noise canceling circuit built into them.
Also, the other benefit to them is they have a much larger driver than the PI3,
so just standard sound quality of listening to my music was definitely
enhanced on this model.
You'll come to find the same type of buttons and connectivity.
You'll notice on this one you're going to get that different button here.
There's no button on the PI3 on the other side.
On this one there is.
And this is for that ambient mode.
Because it has the active noise canceling circuit, when I have these in and I press
and hold this button, it then turns these into ambient mode
where it's going to pick up all of the sound that's happening outside of my ears
and bring it through here so I can hear.
So if I'm listening to music and I need to talk to somebody, and I press and
hold this, now I can hear their conversation, I can hear myself talking
to them, and I don't have to scream at them because I have, you know,
headphones in my ears or anything like that.
So that works really well.
You also can toggle between the noise canceling circuits.
So you can have high noise canceling, you can have low noise canceling,
you could turn it off, or you could also put it into auto mode
where it's going to listen to what's happening around you and recommend a noise
canceling setting for you.
Inside the Bowers & Wilkins app for these headphones you are able to play
around with those settings with the noise canceling and things like that.
Also, it's a great way to make sure that your headphones are up to date.
That's how it gets software updates.
is via the Bowers & Wilkins app.
The PI4s come in a few different colors.
As you see here, I have the gold, so again, the cream here
with the gold hardware.
You have a silver, and then you also have a black color option.
For both the PI4 and the PI3 headphones I think they're great sounding headphones.
The comfort was nice inside my ear, it wasn't hurting at all.
It felt very stable to me with this extra shark fin in there.
I didn't feel like they were going to come out at any time when I was, you know,
testing them, walking around, you know, no problem there at all.
Again, sound quality was great for an in-ear headphone.
The customization of the different fits that you can do with these can allow
for lots of users to use them and feel confident that they're going to fit
in their ears because they give you those two different sizing options,
not usually just the one, so that's nice that you get that.
Noise canceling circuit worked great.
Of course the ambient mode allowing you to hear everything that's happening
around you is very helpful.
I think that's a feature that's becoming more common, but something that headphones
have to have.
So check that box there for me.
Again, call quality is fantastic with headphones like this because you have that
microphone that ends up being right near your mouth there, so very helpful.
