Touch Controls

The earbuds feature intuitive touch controls for managing playback and calls. Refer to the Bowers & Wilkins Music App for detailed customization options and gestures.

Wear Detection

Wireless Audio Retransmission

The charging case doubles as a wireless audio retransmission device. Connect the case to an external audio source (e.g., in-flight entertainment system) using the provided 3.5 mm jack to USB-C audio cable. The case will then wirelessly transmit the audio to your earbuds, allowing you to enjoy your content with your Pi7 S2 headphones.
