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

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

Nah, definitely not age – I’m 55+ and have tinnitus. AAC + Spotify is like a double strike. Apple Music with Apple Lossless enabled will help with playback quality and listening wired, lighting to 3.5mm TRS, with provide you the best sound quality at the expense of being tethered. I own one too many

They feel INSANELY cheap. Way more than anything else I've had but the XM6. The plastic isn't good and most of them creak to some extent (even if it isn't noticeable when you wear them, and I've tried 4 pairs). This is definitely part of the give and take aspect of ANC headphones. If you want better

I think the PX7 S2e is currently the sweet spot in the B&W range. Picked mine up for £200 then other day. They are sublime. If your look carefully at reviews in conjunction with the frequency response of the different B&W headphones currently available, the PX7 S2e has the "best" FR of any of them i

I’ve owned many « high-end » bluetooth headphones over the last 2 or 3 years, including the Sennheiser Momentum 4, Bose QC Ultra Gen 1 and 2, B&W Px7 S2e, B&W Px7 S3, B&W Px8 S1 and S2, Beoplay H95, Focal Bathys, Sony XM5, and several others… Right now, the Cambridge Audio P100 SE offer by far the b

I have had the earbuds from Sony XM3 and XM4, from Bose the QC ultra earbuds, and have the Sony headphones WH-1000XM3. I recently bought the B&W PX8 S2 (after comparing them to the PX7 S3 and PX8 in store) and couldn't be happier, best sound I have ever experienced so far. Reason for buying them was

Terrible question, unless you want to get sent down a rabbit hole, lol. A lot of people pick what sounds good to them, not what is considered accurate. If it wasn’t recorded with thick, wall shaking bass, then I don’t want to hear it even if it makes the recording sound 10x better. It’s like when pe

I decided to wait for the PX8 S2 instead of buying the PX7 S3. So, I can try the Sony XM6 instead of both B&W. Honestly, having the PX8 and PX7 S2e, I prefer the PX8, using the S2e only on my commute sometimes . But I hate the Xm5 so, I still having time to change my mind.
