I feel the same way. I'm constantly thinking about how damn good the PX7 S3 are, so of course I want the PX8 S2 because it's the polished version of it. If even a small discount comes, I could get weak. You can hardly get closer to perfection when it comes to Bluetooth ANC headphones. The PX8 S3 wou

I sold my XM6 in favour of the Px8 S2. I was forever in the EQ trying to make it not sound like a muddy mess. If sound quality is what you're after then absolutely go for it. The B&W are bassy, like the XM6, but they also carry detail, and the bass is a lot tighter. Px7 S3 or PX8 S2 depending on bud

I don't know if you already made your decision, but I own the PX8 and they are great. The sound is excellent and warm. It made me want to listen to old songs all over again. And the DAC mode is amazing when connected with USB C device (MacBook Pro, Samsung Galaxy Fold 6 & iPhone 15 wired wired have

If you’re considering the 3, Px7 S3 has a V-shaped sound signature, energetic and dynamic, with elevated sub bass to bass which you’ll feel and hear, whereas APM frequency response is closer to Harman, it’s clear with linear bass response, though there’s a slight high frequency emphasis and harshnes

Yes. I went through quite a sequence... First I got Px7 S2e about 2 months ago, and I liked them a lot for clarity and dynamic qualities, but for me they were lacking in the low end (at least compared to my old Sennheizer Momentum 4's). So then I decided to try Px8's during the Amazon july 4-th sale

I've got the XM6 and Px7 S3 here right now, plus the S2e and QC non-Ultra. Had the QC Ultra a few times but sent them all back due to creaking and feeling very cheap. First pair also had bad white noise, the others lesser so but it was still there. Great ANC, good sound but hard to recommend when th

Interesting and thorough review, thanks for sharing. My poste below is not to counter yours, I actually loved it, I just wanted to share my experience as a "newbie" to B&W, as I've been, and still am a SONY guy in many of my A/V equipment. Your experience seems to be the opposite of my experience co

My Bang & Olufsen H6 2nd generation are some of my favorite headphones for music. B&O Beoplay H6 g2 were one of my favorite B&O's too, which I still own—9+ years. I also own Px8, Px8 S2, B&O H95 and previously Px7 S3. If you're considering something not neutral, you may like Px8 S2. It's sound signa

I think I know what OP‘s referring to. The PX8 have a rather intimate „dark“ sound signature which can easily make songs sound less existing and more closed in. They are indeed detailed sounding headphones and have an instinct clearness to them I can’t quite place but the bass bleeds too much into t

I had a px7 s3 and recently got the px8s2. Comfort wise for me px8s2 is better, less clamping and more plush cushion. Px7 s3 was quite tight and I had to use a bookend to loosen it. Sound wise I find the px8s2 has more clarity and less piercing vocal. The px7 did have more punch in the low end. Px8
