Will there be a new version of the 630’s anytime soon?

User swappable battery like the momentum 5's plz. Oh and premium materials like b&w px8 s2. Make it a headphone that can last you a really long time. Make it worth the money.

More specs and price details leak for Sony's new luxury 1000X headphones, ahead of expected May launch date

For $850 CAD it should have genuine leather. They keep mentioning the AirPods Max 2 but they aren’t mentioning the bowers & Wilkins px8 s2 or the px7 s3 which are right up there with sound quality and materials..

Today I’ve returned my B&W PX8 S2’s

This is just my opinion but the PX8 S2 headphones are best for straightforward music listening as opposed to movies etc. although I’m fine with that on an airplane. The immersive audio is bad but I don’t prefer that technology on any headphone anyway. The ANC is much improved over past models but no

Should I get a Px8 S2 for bday?

So I got a pair of Px8 S2 last month for my early birthday present, and I really, really enjoy them. A few points to be aware of though: At the sub-$1,000 price range, you can't have both best ANC AND best possible sound quality imo. I also have the XM6s and they have fantastic ANC (but meh sound),

Sennheiser HDB 630 – A Wireless Audiophile Blend of the MOMENTUM 4 and the HD 650? [Review]

Nice review. I was already interested in purchasing the B&W PX8 S2. But the Sennheiser HDB 630 seems to be a very good alternative for me. I’m curious about the differences in sound experience between the two headphones. I would also buy a BTD 700 along with the B&W PX8 S2. I hope some good comparis

Convince me *not* to buy the px7s3

I love B&W's headphones. Got the px7 s2 and px8 s2 You can't beat the build quality. They're lower profile and comfy as hell, super fun to listen to, and the ANC keeps engine noise out. I have no complaints, other than that I wish they sounded like the Focal Bathys Bose has ok sound. Wouldn't call i

Unexpected impulse purchase: HDB 630

I probably would’ve gone with the B&W PX8 S2 for Bluetooth lossless. Your phone also must support aptX Lossless to be able to use it with headphones. Not so many phones support it, especially among the more popular lines. All other codecs are on par with what the HDB 630 provides without a dongle (B

True Immersion update

I’ve had the PX8 S2 since release and was really excited for this update. I also own the AirPods Pro 3 and the Bose Ultra Gen 2 for comparison. Honestly, I’m extremely disappointed. The Immersion mode on the B&W sounds significantly worse than Bose or Apple. You may not always prefer their tuning, b

How to get the most from Px8 S2?

For iPhone the best dongle is questyle qcc pro and sen should work on iPhone fine. it essentially uses aptx lossless and aptx adaptive better Bluetooth codec compatible with the headphones. More bitrate transfer over Bluetooth, aptx lossless isn’t hi res which is 24 bit instead this can be used with

Snagged them for 600USD

You’ll love the PX8 S2. They are fantastic. I 100% recommend the QCC dongle. It’s great and I use it with multiple devices. I also recommend Qobuz: they have a huge selection of very high quality FLAC choices. But to be honest I don’t think many can tell the difference between FLAC and Apple’s ACC.
