My take on PX8 S2 vs Focal Bathys MG, B&O H100, Dali IO-12 + EQ Fix!

Yeah, B&W seems to have that 'warm tuning' that results in muddled bass in music like Gojira and harder rock / metal. I've largely found the EQ settings I shared help with that. I loved both H100 and IO-12's but one is too expensive and the other too impractical. My wired Beyerdynamics DT990 Pro I u

Anyone else with Beta having audio issues?

I plugged in my Bowers & Wilkins PX8 S2 via USB & I was hoping to get louder volume from them since the player has a USB Exclusive mode now & it's still low volume. I thought I was going to get the same type of volume that UAPP puts out.

Risk worth the savings? Probs not… unlessss

There were sweat stains on the headband, and the headphones

Px8 s2 Connectivity Issue

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

Apple Airpods Max vs B&W PX8 S2 for an iPhone user

Device connectivity for Apple users is certainly better with APM. I bought the B&W Px8 S2 and have been A/B comparing the APMs.. if you have more than 2 Apple devices (apple TV, etc) just put on the APMs (or AirPods etc). with B&W you get last 2 connected so i have to manually connect often (but I h

My wallet has been shattered into FRAGMENTs 🥲

If you check my previous posts you'd know I am the one who made a post exposing them and a lot of YouTubers even mentioned my famous post about B&O deleting LDAC support without excuse. Was I disappointed? Yes. But I have compared best of wireless headphones from Bower & wilkins Px8 S2 to Focal Bath
