HDB 630 vs Bathys OG (vs PX8 S2)
I've owned these sets. The PX8 S2 is energetic out of the box; the recessed midrange, and boosted treble and low frequencies are how most consumer headphones are tuned, which is why some listeners will have issues with sibilance on certain sets. The PX8 S2 are especially strident; I prefer the PX7 S

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

Px8 S2.... Wow. What an Upgrade.
I've tried out so many headphones recently including XM6, QC ultra 2, M4, B&W S2e, and I was pretty happy with PX7 S3, but I was tempted to try PX8 S2. PX8 S2 is so well balanced and makes music feel so alive, turning it into 3D. Your description sounds pretty accurate. It was worth the upgrade for

PX7s3 vs PX8s2 (I went with 7)
I made the same decision after testing both, side by side. The materials and build quality of the PX8 S2 are exceptional. I've owned most of B&W's over ear lineup, and these recent releases are by far their best to date. However, the decision came down to performance. The PX8 S2 is inarguably more c

Well, I went and did it, just bought the Px7s3 even though I have the PX8β¦
Excellent choice. Never had the privilege to own the original Px8 but Im a new B&W customer with the Px8 S2. Had the chance to extensively test it against the Px3 and theres really not much in it. The main difference is the materials. The Px7 S3 are a phenomenal value at half the price, congrats!

PX8 S2 Longevity and durability. Extended Warranty? How long will these last me?
I own a couple of B&W headphones β P7 Wireless (2016), P9 Signature (2016), Px8 OG (2023), Px7 S3 and latest Px8 S2. My P7 Wireless and its original battery are over 9 years old, in mint condition and still sound amazing besides its dated tech. Same with newer Px8 OG, itβs approaching 3 years and ha

Yes another one of these (px8 vs px8 s2) just here me out.
Let i start with saying I'm not an audiophile or expert at all, I just tested 4 headphones because I needed a new one. I compared the bose qc ultra 2nd gen, Sony xm6, b&w px8 and b&w px7 s3 i had the bose and sony at home for some days and then went to a store to compare the b&w So for noise cancell

Best wireless headphones worth buying in 2026? (comfort + sound)
For comfort and build quality, B&W (px7 s2, s3) - they also have much better sound than Sony Bose etc. Pure sound quality? Sennheiser probably, as it's more neutral/accurate. Some people still prefer the sound on the b&ws

Px8 S2 vs Px7 S3 vs HDB 630 in simple setup with Iphone
I'm planning to replace my old sony xm4 with a new one as well. Didn't quite like the xm5 or xm6 for build quality and comfort, so I've shortlisted bose qc ultra 2, b&w px8 s2 (wasn't leaning towards the px7 s3 as it uses vegan leather which isn't as long lasting as the real one) and the Sennheiser

Px8 quality
In terms of quality any b&w beats sony (hinge issues π) but havihg owned a px8 myself I can confirm the hand band is still an issue. Personally id wait for the px8 s2 or just get the px7 S3
