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 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

Should I buy PX7 S3 or PX8?

I don't know if you already made your decision, but I own the PX8 and they are great. The sound is excellent and warm. It made me want to listen to old songs all over again. And the DAC mode is amazing when connected with USB C device (MacBook Pro, Samsung Galaxy Fold 6 & iPhone 15 wired wired have

New addition, PX8 S2

How I hear the Px8 S2 compared to Px7 S3, Px8 S2 has a more colored and warmer sound signature tuning with its elevated mid bass, while maintaining clarity and details, and wider soundstage than OG Px8. Depending on the genre of music you listen to, the elevated lower mids can muddy instrument separ

Px7 S3 vs Px8

For ANC and mic quality, the PX7 S3 is superior to the PX8; in fact, it's superior even to the PX8 S2 as well, which slightly improved sound quality over the PX7, but was oddly behind in the ANC and transparency department. It was enough of a difference that I chose the PX7 S3 long term over both th

Maximum Headband Extension: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) vs. Bowers & Wilkins PX8 S2

I decided to buy the B&W Px8 S2. They fit me well in terms of size (they have a larger maximum headband extension than the Bose QC Ultra 2). The sound is amazing. The noise canceling is decent (not as bad as some people say). I've been wearing them for long periods, and I’ll say the comfort isn't pe

Maximum Headband Extension: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) vs. Bowers & Wilkins PX8 S2

My experience with these headphones is exactly the same. When I first listened to music on the Bose QC Ultra 2, I certainly noticed a difference compared to my old Bose QC 35 II, but I didn't get that 'wow' effect. However, the moment I played a song on the B&W Px8 S2, a smile immediately appeared o

Bose QC have terrible noise cancellation

Bose has always had the pretty much the best noise cancelation performance with around ear headphones, especially the QC Ultras 1st gen and 2nd gen. The 2nd gen makes ANC even better by bringing down the level of "noise cancelling hiss" to near zero. Something is wrong with your hearing, the way the

Wireless headphones with better sound quality than Audeze Maxwell for purely music listening? Budget ~$500

Avoid the XM6 unless ANC is the most critical feature for you. The 10-band EQ is not parametric. Just peak filters with no ability to run shelves, or modify bandwidth. You won't find a better wireless set where sound quality is concerned. I owned the Bathys, they have great sound quality, but not su
