Bowers & Wilkins refreshes Pi8 earbuds and Px7 S3 headphones with new colour options. April Ossington | 19 Mar 2026 Bowers & Wilkins has expanded its premium headphone and earbud line-up with a series of new finishes, adding more variety to two of its flagship audio products. The Pi8 true wireless earbuds are now available in Dark Burgundy and Pale Mauve, increasing the total number of colour options in the range to six. These join existing finishes such as Anthracite Black, Midnight Blue, Dove White and Jade Green, giving buyers more choice without changing the underlying hardware. At the same time, the company has introduced a new Vintage Maroon finish for its Px7 S3 wireless noise-cancelling headphones. The addition brings the total number of finishes for that model to five, alongside Canvas White, Anthracite Black, Indigo Blue and Frost Blue. While the update focuses on design rather than performance, both the Pi8 earbuds and Px7 S3 headphones continue to use the same audio technology that has positioned them at the higher end of the market. Bowers & Wilkins has consistently emphasised build quality and materials alongside sound performance, and the expanded colour range reflects an effort to appeal to a broader range of personal styles. The new finishes are now available in Australia. The Px7 S3 in Vintage Maroon is priced at $699, while the Pi8 earbuds in Pale Mauve and Dark Burgundy are available for $649.

Bowers & Wilkins' 707 Prestige Edition: Santos Gloss finish + 705 S3 Signature tweaks. Bowers & Wilkins has unveiled the 707 Prestige Edition, a dressed-up version of its entry-level 700 Series standmount loudspeaker that borrows a few tricks from its pricier siblings. The headline here is the Santos Gloss finish: 12 layers of paint and lacquer inspired by the 805 D3 Prestige Edition's rosewood aesthetic. A rear plate confirms this isn't your standard 707 S3. But it's not just about the lacquer. Or the back plate. B&W has pinched the optimised tweeter grille mesh and upgraded speaker terminals from the 705 S3 Signature, claiming improvements to resolution and soundstage scale. The core driver complement remains unchanged: the same 25mm Carbon Dome tweeter and 130mm Continuum mid-bass unit found in the regular 707 S3, housed in that familiar curved-baffle cabinet. For context, the standard 707 S3 sells for around €1200, so you're paying roughly €550 for the finish upgrade and Signature-derived parts. Whether those tweeter mesh and terminal changes deliver audible gains commensurate with that premium is another question entirely - one that'll require ears-on time to answer. The optional FS-700 S3 floorstands are available in black or silver for those who prefer not to place their shiny new loudspeakers on a bookshelf (despite the alternative category name). The 707 Prestige Edition is now available through select retailers for €1750 or £1550.
