Should I or should I not?

If it means anything, I have the Bowers and Wilkins PX8 S2, and the Bose quietcomfort ultra 2, and the latter are better in both the sound and ANC department. The Bowers have better build quality. If I were to be taking a flight, the Bose would be coming with me

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

HDB630 Pros and Cons

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

P100 SE current state

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

Px7 S2e or Px8 or Px8 S2

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

PX8 S2 Mentioned on Packaging to Customers

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.

PX8 S2 Longevity and durability. Extended Warranty? How long will these last me?

I own a couple of B&W headphones — P7 Wireless (2016), P9 Signature (2016), Px8 OG (2023), Px7 S3 and latest Px8 S2. My P7 Wireless and its original battery are over 9 years old, in mint condition and still sound amazing besides its dated tech. Same with newer Px8 OG, it’s approaching 3 years and ha

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

PX7s3 vs PX8s2 (I went with 7)

I made the same decision after testing both, side by side. The materials and build quality of the PX8 S2 are exceptional. I've owned most of B&W's over ear lineup, and these recent releases are by far their best to date. However, the decision came down to performance. The PX8 S2 is inarguably more c

Px7 S2e or Px8 or Px8 S2

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
