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

Sennheiser momentum 4 vs Bose Quietcomfort vs Bowers and Wilkins PX7 S2e?

Ruling out ANC, on sound quality alone: Momentum 4 > B&W PX7 S2e > Bose QC Considering ANC: Bose QC > Momentum 4 ~= B&W PX7 S2e The Momentum will also have much better customization options when it comes to EQ, offering both a 5-band EQ and Sound Personalization, which is a pretty powerful little to

I thought I was a Sennheiser guy...

Compared the Momentum 4 to the PX7 S2. Stock sound of the B&W definitely is better/more hifi. But I hated the ANC. Got a feeling of pressure on my ears and missed an adjustment of ANC in the app. With a little eq (wavelet app) I really like my Momentum 4 now. Stock sound was too bassy and not enough

My PX8 experience

I've been sick for a week and my ears seem to still be congested. Last week, for many weeks, I was sure my B&W Px8 were the greatest sounding ANC headphones ever the way I adjusted them months ago in the app, with the most comfortable Bose QC Ultra 2nd Gen also adjusted to my preference pretty much

Px7 S2e just the goat?

B&W headphones have a warm, bass-heavy sound profile. In my experience, it can even sound a bit like a turntable. Newer models have moved further away from this sound, focusing more on treble while minimizing bass and mid-bass. With the PX8 S2, not only are the treble shrill, but they also sound unn

PX8 bracket - material problems

in my experience, b&w is hit or miss. i do not have px8. i did have the orginal px, and the whole earpiece broke. most of my bad experience with b&w was the usability and hardware quality. the sound is amazing, but they really need to spend time making a full product. i had 4 of their headphones, 2

B&W please do not let the PX8 S2 become the standard for sound.

Wait a minute... I have original Px8 and I thought they were the ones going for flat neutral sound after PX7 S2... But I agree with OP, B&W was succesful because they allways managed to sound "audiophile" but actually attractive, they stood out from the rest of hifi products. Of course many listener

Bose QC have terrible noise cancellation

Bose has always had the pretty much the best noise cancelation performance with around ear headphones, especially the QC Ultras 1st gen and 2nd gen. The 2nd gen makes ANC even better by bringing down the level of "noise cancelling hiss" to near zero. Something is wrong with your hearing, the way the

“Px7 S3 sound quality deep dive – resolution, layering, EQ changes?”

they are terrible in case of pure sound, i go this way and there is no way at all in pure sound in B&W, I read that maybe Px7 S2 was last that sound good in case of sound naturalness, I try all of them and in this price range is closest to good soud Melomania P100 and SE. but they are also far far a

B&W PX7 S2E I have a noise in the left ear when starting the headphones for 10 seconds

It's not normal at all. I also recently got PX7 S2e and noticed a short static sound after turning them on (like something brushed against the microphone). I did a full reset of the headphones, and it looks like the noise is gone now. Px7 S2/S2e has a known issue with the left ear cup. It might even
