Px8 S2

I’ve had the PX8 S2 since release and was really excited for this update. I also own the AirPods Pro 3 and the Bose Ultra Gen 2 for comparison. Honestly, I’m extremely disappointed. The Immersion mode on the B&W sounds significantly worse than Bose or Apple. You may not always prefer their tuning, b

You should return them if you paid full price when brand new and reconsider buying them again on sale either on Amazon USA or Costco.com after reading my post, and that alone, especially the Costco.com offer (not available in stores) will take care of your price point problem since you get $50 off l

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

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

H100 still sounds better. I tested the px8 s2 and am a b&w fan. But i was disappointed in the px8 s2. Expected more, still looking for cm9s2 on the ears. Maybe the px8 s3 can deliver.. untill then i am waiting

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

Ruling out ANC, on sound quality alone: Momentum 4 > B&W PX7 S2e > Bose QC Considering ANC: Bose QC > Momentum 4 ~= B&W PX7 S2e The Momentum will also have much better customization options when it comes to EQ, offering both a 5-band EQ and Sound Personalization, which is a pretty powerful little to

I have a pair on my head right now. Comfort is by far the stand out feature. They are super light and the velour pads are ultra soft. They very much dissappear on your head. I'm used to premium bluetooth headphones, IEMs , and my trusty Hifiman Edition XS, and have an old pair of DT990s in a drawer

I've owned T+A Solitaire T, Dali IO-12, Focal Bathys, B&W Px8, and B&O H100. I only kept the Solitaire T. I wouldn't say they were my absolute favorite for sound quality, especially initially, I think I enjoyed the IO-12 more, but compared to the others they're quite good. Very neutral so people may

Thanks, I would not rule Focal out at all to be honest. Before moving to the Bokeh I had a bit of a journey through wireless headphones. I came from the Sony WH-1000XM6, tried the B&W PX8 S2 which I found too boomy with a bit too much treble or sibilance, then the Audeze Maxwell which I actually rea
