I just picked up a set of B&W px7s2e and wow! I am impressed!

Its cool, I am just in shock how good these Px7s2e sound compared to some of my other higher end and much more expensive headphones I have like my Dali io-12, and I only paid 100.00 for these on the used market! I am very happy with them! Good job Bowers and Wilkins! 💪💪 💪 besides build what do the P

airpodx max or bose?

Sennheiser. The momentum 4 and the newly released momentum 5 are realistically the best consumer sound bt headphone at a reasonable price. Unless you're looking to spend over a g note, in which case the focal bathy, sennheiser hbd630, and the Dali io-12 would be your go to

What is the best Overall wireless headset

The metrics you have... no single headphone is the top of all of them. Arguably best audio quality, irrespective of price, are the Solitaire T and DALI IO-12.

Time to say goodbye (PX8 007 Edition)

That's actually true here in EU also, I'm just in a good situation right now. The Px8 are around 450€ and IO-8 is 700€. But when they were new, 007 Edition was 700€ euros, and now, local retail store is discounting Dali at 480€. I asked them why so cheap, they said it's their own try at bringing the

Today I’ve returned my B&W PX8 S2’s

My tested recommendation: Get the Focal Bathys MG instead!The PX8 S2 reviews vs the actual experience are two different things I found. I ve been meaning to replace my Bang Olufsen H95 after 5 years. I had high hopes for the PX 8. they seemed to finally combine design and sound. I ve tried literally

I reached the top of the wireless headphones mountain and briefly tasted the nectar of the premium headphone gods

The Dali sound amazing. But they have to be the most uncomfortable headphones I have ever tried. Ear cushions have a plastic rim inside them, making the cushions about 3-4mm at best in thickness. I couldn’t wear them for more than 10-15 mins without my ear lobes throbbing. Had to return them. Wish I

Bluetooth headphones with large cups like HD560S

Dali IO-12 has good sized cups, lager than any other headphone I've ever used and they're still very comfy

I reached the top of the wireless headphones mountain and briefly tasted the nectar of the premium headphone gods

He said Dali Io-8 not Dali Io-12, they are less expensive. I almost bought them (io-12), tried them out, they are heavenly, I put on the Io-8 headcups to make them smaller. I then realized I loved B&Ws sound so much more for casual listening at home and traveling. So I went from the PX8 to the PX8S2

So basically the Dali IO-8 in your country cost exactly the same as Dali IO-12 in my country. I always viewed PX8S2 as half a notch above Bathys, half a notch below Bathys MG, same notch as B&O H100 even though they are almost twice the price, Dali IO-12a whole notch above and IO-8 a while notch bel

Beosound grace

So what is second best choice? Sound and built quality? Was listening to eleven this weekend but liked them only OK. Similar to h100 sound is a litte to much in the highs. B&O equalizer wheel was helping a little, but then fastly bass becomes too muddy. Grace is much money. Wish there was something
