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

Let i start with saying I'm not an audiophile or expert at all, I just tested 4 headphones because I needed a new one. I compared the bose qc ultra 2nd gen, Sony xm6, b&w px8 and b&w px7 s3 i had the bose and sony at home for some days and then went to a store to compare the b&w So for noise cancell

Bose QC Ultra Gen 2 would be my pick. Best bass response, great little app to tune sound to your liking. Surprisingly very resolving even with gobs of bass or treble. Always smooth yet detailed. Floats on the head. Very comfortable. Sony XM6 sounded extremely muddy and boomy to me. I did not like th

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

If you’re considering the 3, Px7 S3 has a V-shaped sound signature, energetic and dynamic, with elevated sub bass to bass which you’ll feel and hear, whereas APM frequency response is closer to Harman, it’s clear with linear bass response, though there’s a slight high frequency emphasis and harshnes

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

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

Dunno about the Dali but here is my unbiased opinion on the PX8 S2: I’ve had them for a month now and I’ve tested various tracks (Lossless, on USB C and Bluetooth via an iPhone). I’ve also had a pair of Bose QC Ultra Gen2 (which I have decided to return after buying the B&W). EQ and Sound This is a

My Bang & Olufsen H6 2nd generation are some of my favorite headphones for music. B&O Beoplay H6 g2 were one of my favorite B&O's too, which I still own—9+ years. I also own Px8, Px8 S2, B&O H95 and previously Px7 S3. If you're considering something not neutral, you may like Px8 S2. It's sound signa

I can say Px8 s2 is an upgrade of Px7 s3 at every areas in terms of sound. Px8 sits in the middle, while Px7 s3 highs are a bit harsh, Px8 is more comfortable and sweat. I can listen to it all night. But I would like to warn you that the Px8 is a bit on the warmer side, which is the signature sound
