Px8

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.

But there was something about voices and high frequencies my ears definitely didn’t like. When listening to long form interviews/music, male voices sounded thinner

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

If someone has a better answer please fill in but to my understanding: If you’re on an iPhone 13 mini + Tidal, the codec stuff (AAC, aptX, etc.) doesn’t really matter — iPhones only do AAC over Bluetooth, and both PX7 S3 and PX8 handle that fine. Sound quality differences you’ll notice are more abou

Between the Px7 & Px8 latest iterations? FWIW, as you probably know, B&W describes sound profiles: The Px7 as "high performance" The Px8 as "reference" As well as each being the latest refinement of the model before them And the materials as: Px8: "Crafted from soft Nappa leather and solid die-cast

Let i start with saying I'm not an audiophile or expert at all, I just tested 4 headphones because I needed a new one. I compared the bose qc ultra 2nd gen, Sony xm6, b&w px8 and b&w px7 s3 i had the bose and sony at home for some days and then went to a store to compare the b&w So for noise cancell
