Px8 S2

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

Shit dude...you're using your Px8 s2 at the gym? Youre brave. B&W dont mix well with perspiration. I use a pair of Bose to ANC out the crap gym music and keep the crown jewels for home listening.

Yeah, the new headband construction introduced with H95/HX/Portal is a huge fail unfortunately, compared to the older one used from H6 down to H9 3rd Gen which would last a century. Seems like B&W headphones (Px7 S2/S3 and Px8/S2) are affected by that same issue even more though. Thankfully H100 are

I owned both sets and kept the PX7 S3. The ANC in the PX8 S2 certainly isn’t terrible and is roughly on par with the HDB 630s; but the tangible improvement to ANC and transparency that the PX7 S3 brings to the table compared to the marginal improvement in sound quality the PX8 S2 provides made the P

Now because of this, I will probably have to buy the Px7 S3 instead of the Px8 even though they are about the same price now and the Px8 feel and look nicer from the materials...I would love the green Px8 but with this limiting EQ, I'm unsure if it makes sense. And I can't really justify pa

UPDATE: unfortunately the Amazon preowned gods were not on my side this time, headphones got delivered in a basic Amazon box; only came in their case (which was dented n marked), no original box, no instructions, and the 2 connection cords. There were sweat stains on the headband, and the headphones

I have the Bose quietcomfort ultra 2, and they are the only headphones that almost cope with the London underground. In the office, they give me near silence. The closest I have are the Sony xm5. The Bowers and Wilkins PX8 S2 are the most disappointing, Edifier, earfun, and even buds do a better job

I never doubt the sound quality of B&W, having used almost every generation of the PX series up to PX7 s2. What stopped me from buying the PX8 or s2 is the build quality. One had its ear cup stem broken, one had the headband leather peeled off, both after a little more than just a year. For products

4 years is not the worst, but I’m hoping B&W realizes that if they charge premium prices, the durability needs to matches the cost. I do think the material and design fits the profile, but the way how they put it together is questionable base on what I read online. This is my first year buying B&W s

Just wanted to reply and say thank you for saving my sanity. I've been suffering the same and confirm it appears more often when I'm out using the device and worse in congested areas. I further suffer an issue when ANC is turned on. Sometimes, not always, the sound when ANC is turned on will dip whe
