Thanks I think I will get PX8 as I am looking for bass heavy headphones for trance & techno. Looks were important for me also hence multiple brands did not make the cut.

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

Exactly! I actually bought the PX7 S3 before the PX8 S2, and returned them. The base was wonderful but the sound was way too consumer-friendly/V-shaped—the treble was overbearing for my taste and they were lacking mids and warmth, and no amount of EQ correction seemed to get them sounding as full an

Does it have any wind noise reduction feature? I can’t find any setting for it. Also, I’m a bit surprised by how arrogant some people are being. I’m coming from the Sennheiser Momentum 4, and before that the Sony XM4—both of which have a lot more settings in their apps. And no, I didn’t buy these be
