congratulations on your purchase of the brand new px7 carbon edition by
bowers and wilkins the first thing i'm going to tell you
about is you need to download the correct app on your phone before you
connect your headphones you can make it work afterwards but the
best way to do this is to download the correct app
first b&w actually has two apps that use the word headphones so the one you want
to use and download is called bowers and
wilkins headphones not bowers and wilkins px once you
download it it'll walk you through connecting the
headphones naming the headphones configuring your basic settings and all
the rest once you're all connected the next thing
i want to show you is a good way to put your px7 carbon
edition headphones on so that you don't accidentally press any
of the buttons while putting them on all right now when you're holding the
headphones you'll notice that all the tactile physical buttons
are right there on each ear cup so you want to make sure that your thumbs
don't accidentally press any of them while you're holding the headphones so
what i do is i just keep my thumb down at the bottom and my
hand's essentially like this and put them on like so
you can adjust this headband a little bit forward
just to really adjust the comfort and the support and they fit
really well so again right when you take them off
same thing thumbs on the bottom of the ear cups
lift up and just like so i also find it's easiest to scroll through
the noise cancelling settings just by pressing the button
one by one to toggle through the individual settings
in terms of those preferred settings when you go into the app the first thing
i'd recommend is turning auto prompts on if it's not already
enabled by default these automatic prompts make it really
clear and easy to learn how your new px7 carbon edition
headphones actually work because you'll get instant feedback
when pressing buttons and so forth the next tip i'd suggest
is going to the ambient sound setting on this screen
you can actually go through the ambient sound and choose
what level of ambient sound you want so you can hear
and pipe in these types of sounds into your headset
once you've dialed in your preferred setting here the button to activate
the ambient pass-through mode that pipes in sounds from the outside world into
your headset is right here on the left
ear cup holding this anc button down will activate the setting
press it again and it resumes active noise cancellation
and regular playback in the app you can customize the volume of the music
when you initiate pass-through mode this is useful when you run into someone who
wants to have a quick conversation with you
so you can just have the conversation without taking your headphones off
the right ear cup hosts the rest of the buttons
the one in the middle controls your music playback a single press plays or
pauses and a double press skips to the next
track and a triple press will go back to the previous track
the other two will control the volume up or down
another thing i'd recommend is going into the standby screen
and deciding if you want standby mode timer to be on
or not this screen will let you determine how long your headphones will
stay powered on before they power off after you stop wearing your headphones i
set mine to 15 minutes so that they automatically power off
just in case i forget to turn them off later
