Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC)

The PX5 headphones feature adaptive noise cancellation technology. This system automatically adjusts to your environment to minimize external noise, allowing for an immersive listening experience. The ANC level can often be adjusted via a dedicated button or through the companion mobile application.

Smart Features

The headphones are equipped with smart sensors. If you lift an ear cup or remove the headphones, music playback will automatically pause. Placing them back on your ears will resume playback.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean your headphones, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials, solvents, or chemical cleaners. Do not immerse the headphones in water.

Storage

When not in use, store the headphones in the provided storage pouch to protect them from dust and scratches. Avoid storing them in extreme temperatures or high humidity.

Water Resistance

The Bowers & Wilkins PX5 headphones are not water resistant. Avoid exposure to rain, splashes, or excessive moisture to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

  • No Sound: Ensure the headphones are powered on, charged, and properly connected via Bluetooth or the 3.5mm cable. Check the volume levels on both the headphones and your audio source.
  • Bluetooth Connection Issues: If the headphones fail to pair, try restarting both the headphones and your device. Clear previous Bluetooth pairings on your device and attempt to pair again. Ensure the headphones are within the 10-meter Bluetooth range.
  • Wired Connection Disconnects: Ensure the 3.5mm cable is securely plugged into both the headphones and the audio source. Avoid excessive movement or strain on the cable.
  • Noise Cancellation Ineffective: Ensure the ANC feature is activated. Check for any obstructions around the microphone ports.
