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 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

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

Sorry to disappoint you but there's no comparison between PX8S2 and PX8 against M4 and S2e. PX8 ans S2 are flagship the best of B&W. Sound, build quality, technology... M4s is a headphone to put in a backpack and go to the gym, commute, stay all day out of home listening. Px8 is a headphone to enjoy

I've owned 6 pairs of B&W headphones over the years, and the only problem I've ever had was with the headband on my PX8, which were replaced under warranty with no issues whatsoever.

If money’s not an issue, I would wait for the PX8 S2s. I’ve been using my PX8s since 2023, and have occasionally gotten the itch to try other headphones. I typically bring the PX8s when I do so, just to A/B test them on the spot. Sonic differences are always subjective but here’s what I can say abou
