Px8 S2

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

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

For $850 CAD it should have genuine leather. They keep mentioning the AirPods Max 2 but they aren’t mentioning the bowers & Wilkins px8 s2 or the px7 s3 which are right up there with sound quality and materials..

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

I’m thoroughly enjoying the PX8 S2. It’s the best headphone in the B&W range I’ve ever tried. Enjoy. Cheers.

For comparison I have the Sony Xm5, Bowers and Wilkins PX8 S2, and the Bose quietcomfort ultra 2, and I would choose the Bose over the other 2 for sound and ANC. The only issue I have with the Bose is the weak clamping force, as it creates whooshing sounds when you walk. The Auto on feature is great

So I got a pair of Px8 S2 last month for my early birthday present, and I really, really enjoy them. A few points to be aware of though: At the sub-$1,000 price range, you can't have both best ANC AND best possible sound quality imo. I also have the XM6s and they have fantastic ANC (but meh sound),

Nice review. I was already interested in purchasing the B&W PX8 S2. But the Sennheiser HDB 630 seems to be a very good alternative for me. I’m curious about the differences in sound experience between the two headphones. I would also buy a BTD 700 along with the B&W PX8 S2. I hope some good comparis

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

I love B&W's headphones. Got the px7 s2 and px8 s2 You can't beat the build quality. They're lower profile and comfy as hell, super fun to listen to, and the ANC keeps engine noise out. I have no complaints, other than that I wish they sounded like the Focal Bathys Bose has ok sound. Wouldn't call i
