Px8 S2

This is just my opinion but the PX8 S2 headphones are best for straightforward music listening as opposed to movies etc. although I’m fine with that on an airplane. The immersive audio is bad but I don’t prefer that technology on any headphone anyway. The ANC is much improved over past models but no

So I got a pair of Px8 S2 last month for my early birthday present, and I really, really enjoy them. A few points to be aware of though: At the sub-$1,000 price range, you can't have both best ANC AND best possible sound quality imo. I also have the XM6s and they have fantastic ANC (but meh sound),

I have both. It is my experience that in use with 3 devices, they have very similar device switching performance. I know that’s not your question, but I’m just getting that out of the way. For your question: In the end, I really like both, but I think the Px8 S2 are more comfortable, and sound sligh

I had both, the HDB 630 and the B&W Px8 s2 and kept the Px8 s2. HDB 630 are overhyped by „Audiophiles“. They are maybe the most neutral but were absolutely no fun to hear for me, lacking brilliance and liveliness. Parametric Equalizer didn’t help much here to come even close to the Px8 S2 and reduce

Using a lossless BT USB-C transmitter / dongle allows you to take advantage of your headphones higher BT codecs. It's entirely optional, you may or may not perceive improved sound—Px8 S2 works perfectly with Apple AAC—and there's the additional expense and inconvenience of a dongle attached to your

Apparently it is replaceable but B&W recommends a professional job doing it. Sadly, they downgraded from the OG Px8 that had user-removable/replaceable earpads that were a bit thicker. But overall, these are much better headphones than OG Px8, try the Px8 S2 using a USB cable from your device if you

I forgot to said it but i have a eq from the b&w app if you want to try it (its for the px7 s3 but i think it will also sound great on the px8 s2): EQ image

I have a pair. Got them from b&h for $160 brand new and they sound amazing. Probably top 3 best sounding headphones I’ve had (I’ve owned sony xm2,4,6, bose qc ultra, airpods max, b&w px8 s2). Does get a bit uncomfortable after an hour or two. The app still works and I put them on from time to time

I own XM6 and PX8 S2. The difference in sound is huge. XM6 sounds best from the box and every time you try to use EQ the overall sound is lowered. Never understood the reasoning for that. My only guess is that Sony squeezed everything they could for mainstream public who doesn’t want to dive into th

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
