Yes another one of these (px8 vs px8 s2) just here me out.
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

Getting lost in the codec and DAC discussion
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

Maximum Headband Extension: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) vs. Bowers & Wilkins PX8 S2
I decided to buy the B&W Px8 S2. They fit me well in terms of size (they have a larger maximum headband extension than the Bose QC Ultra 2). The sound is amazing. The noise canceling is decent (not as bad as some people say). I've been wearing them for long periods, and I’ll say the comfort isn't pe

Maximum Headband Extension: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) vs. Bowers & Wilkins PX8 S2
My experience with these headphones is exactly the same. When I first listened to music on the Bose QC Ultra 2, I certainly noticed a difference compared to my old Bose QC 35 II, but I didn't get that 'wow' effect. However, the moment I played a song on the B&W Px8 S2, a smile immediately appeared o

Stuck between the B&W Px8s2 and Dali IO-8
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

Px8S2 worth $300 over Airpods Max 2?
I’m in the same boat as you not so much for the price difference but the seamless switching between apple devices. Wearing airpods pro 3 aren’t comfortable for more than a couple hours. I’ve only tried the original airpods max in stores and thought they were terrible. General consensus on yt reviews

Where are you listening?
