The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
2.highest frequency
30000Hz
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
3.impedance
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
4.sound pressure level
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.

Zolang ik de PX7 met bluetooth gebruikte, was ik enorm tevreden. Mooi geluid en een goed design. Helaas is bij mij na gebruik van de usb-c kabel het geluid links verdwenen en ondanks vele malen resetten en de batterij leeg laten lopen nooit meer teruggekomen. Aangezien de garantietermijn van 2 jaar verstreken was, mocht ik van de B&W klantendienst een nieuwe kopen met korting; reparatie of vervanging onder coulance zat er niet in. Op internet vind je meer van deze klachten, dus het lijkt op een fabricage- of constructiefout. Ik vind het niet passend voor een merk als B&W om een koptelefoon met een levensduur van 2,5 jaar op de markt te brengen.

La calidad de sonido y la inmersión en la música es simplemente indescriptiblemente buena, en el pasado he tenido varias marcas de audifonos de bastante renombre, pero ningunos audifonos se comparan a la calidad de sonido y lo divertido que eschar musicos con ellos.
