Bowers & Wilkins is giving its premium headphone lineup a visual refresh with new colorways for the Px7 S3, Px8 S2, and Pi8. The hardware itself has not changed, but the company is adding finishes including Vintage Maroon, Midnight Blue, Pearl Blue, Pale Mauve, and Dark Burgundy.

The Px7 S3 in Vintage Maroon is priced at $479 through Bowers & Wilkins. Mashable says the over-ear headphones keep the same high-end audio package, with the company’s latest sound technology, deeper bass, and improved clarity over the previous Px7 S2e. They also include adjustable active noise cancellation powered by eight microphones, plus a slimmer design, refined earcups, and an updated headband for better comfort on long listening sessions.

The flagship Pi8 true wireless earbuds are getting two new finishes: Pale Mauve and Dark Burgundy. They are listed at $499 on the Bowers & Wilkins website. According to Mashable, the Pi8 uses carbon-cone drive units to cut distortion and bring out more detail, and ships with four ear tip sizes. Battery life is rated at up to 6.5 hours, with extra charge available from the case. The earbuds also feature adaptive noise cancellation and three microphones per earbud for clearer calls.

The Px8 S2, priced at $799, now comes in Midnight Blue and Pearl Blue. Bowers & Wilkins is keeping the same feature set here too: custom-built drivers, high-resolution sound support, eight built-in microphones for calls and active noise cancellation, and up to 30 hours of battery life. A 15-minute quick charge adds about seven hours of playback.
