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

Should I choose the Px7 S3 or Px8 S2
If you love the Pi8 sound, go Px8 S2. It’s the same house sound signature scaled up to over-ear - warm, detailed, with real bass depth. The Px7 S3 is good but it’s a step below in driver quality and overall resolution. Since you already know you prefer B&W’s tuning over the Bose QC, the Px8 S2 is th

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

Getting lost in the codec and DAC discussion
If someone has a better answer please fill in but to my understanding: If you’re on an iPhone 13 mini + Tidal, the codec stuff (AAC, aptX, etc.) doesn’t really matter — iPhones only do AAC over Bluetooth, and both PX7 S3 and PX8 handle that fine. Sound quality differences you’ll notice are more abou

PX7 S3 (£284) vs PX8 S2 (£504)
I owned both sets and kept the PX7 S3. The ANC in the PX8 S2 certainly isn’t terrible and is roughly on par with the HDB 630s; but the tangible improvement to ANC and transparency that the PX7 S3 brings to the table compared to the marginal improvement in sound quality the PX8 S2 provides made the P

Thoughts on firing CEO
I sold my HX from 2021 and got the B&W PX7 S3. Payed very little more for it and so much happier. B&O was expensive but good. Now it’s just super expensive.

Well, I went and did it, just bought the Px7s3 even though I have the PX8…
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.... Wow. What an Upgrade.
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

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
