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

Today I’ve returned my B&W PX8 S2’s
This is just my opinion but the PX8 S2 headphones are best for straightforward music listening as opposed to movies etc. although I’m fine with that on an airplane. The immersive audio is bad but I don’t prefer that technology on any headphone anyway. The ANC is much improved over past models but no

After walking into a local shop and trying out the Focal Bathys, Bathys MG, Sennheiser HDB630, and the Px8 S2 side by side, I have walked out with a nice new pair of Bowers & Wilkins!
I had both, the HDB 630 and the B&W Px8 s2 and kept the Px8 s2. HDB 630 are overhyped by „Audiophiles“. They are maybe the most neutral but were absolutely no fun to hear for me, lacking brilliance and liveliness. Parametric Equalizer didn’t help much here to come even close to the Px8 S2 and reduce

Who are B&W buyers typically?
Na, us regular average low-mid income folk like music to sound good too!! I have the Px8 S2’s. Wireless codecs have really gotten better that’s for sure. I still like my OPPO-M3’s (wired) but the wireless B&W’s are really convenient.

PX8 S2 Launch poster
The poster was from B&W’s official social media account. The price in Asia will be around USD $730 or CAD $1000. The initial launch will include two colors: Onyx Black and Warm Stone. It features an upgraded 40mm carbon driver with new suspension, while the same Amp and DSP and QCC3084 chip, 8 micro

What happened to headphones being a statement piece!
AirPods Max Are 368g, B&W PX8 II are 310g, Momentum 3 are 305G Clearly it’s nothing to do with weight but cost savings.

What happened to headphones being a statement piece!
If the B&W are equal sound wise and with similar ANC then sure, they look better. AirPods will not compare in that area, they are design first. I would argue Sennheiser might have chosen to put the money on the sound and the inside instead of fancy metal. And if they put metal instead price would go

Bought px8 s2… wow!!
I’m thoroughly enjoying the PX8 S2. It’s the best headphone in the B&W range I’ve ever tried. Enjoy. Cheers.

IS MOMENTUM 4 STILL WORTH BUYING TODAY? CAN IT STILL COMPETE WITH THE NEWLY RELEASED HEADPHONES THIS 2025 IN TERMS OF SOUND QUALITY?
I bought them a year and a half ago aprox, and dont ask why, but I also own Airpods Max, XM5, QC Ultra, Airpods Pro 2, XM4 and have tried regular QCs and Sonos Ace. My favorite sounding headphones have been the Airpods Max and the Momentum 4, specially with sound personalization, though, the Momentu

Returned PX7 S3 after 4 days of use, back to Sony XM5
I never warmed to the XM5s, not a patch on any of the three B & W headphones I've had (px2, px2 SE and px8) in terms of sound, nowhere near any of them in fact. In fact, the XM4's were far better than the XM5's.
