Px8

I never warmed to the XM5s, not a patch on any of the three B & W headphones I've had (px2, px2 SE and px8) in terms of sound, nowhere near any of them in fact. In fact, the XM4's were far better than the XM5's.

I love B&W's headphones. Got the px7 s2 and px8 s2 You can't beat the build quality. They're lower profile and comfy as hell, super fun to listen to, and the ANC keeps engine noise out. I have no complaints, other than that I wish they sounded like the Focal Bathys Bose has ok sound. Wouldn't call i

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

I tried a pair yesterday that I could have gotten for less than the px8 s2. I still chose the b&w They look much better, feel much better, and are better for travel. The sound on the h95 was a little better but.. Nothing to warrant your nose in the air comment and eye roll. What a snob lol

B&W PX7 or PX8 sound quality wise and build quality wise. But bose is not far. ANC bose 100%

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

Oh come on B&W. What are you doing? The Px8 looked great already. Nice with slimmer earcups but why expose the cable. No reason other than us customers have to be very careful when we store that product away in a drawer or backpack without the case. It seems similar to if someone designed a remote c

I tried to make this point one time on Reddit…and got, of course, ripped to shreds. I’ve actually performed those tests. Double blind studies where we tested different bit rates, sampling, etc. There is a very small percentage of people who can hear the difference, particularly in A|B testing, when

40mm vs 30mm drivers Carbon drivers further developed from PX8, Sony probably got inspiration from B&W, just a guess though. PX8S2 real leather, its nappa as well (same leather in highest trim S-Class seats). Somehow more compact than the Sonys. Cost 50usd more than the Sonys at launch, now 100-150

I pretty much agree with your review. I also mostly listen to classical music, was in the Florida Philharmonic in the late 90s when I was in college and did years of music study that went through conducting. Have been in some orchestra performances and also in the audience, so know what the instrume
