My take on PX8 S2 vs Focal Bathys MG, B&O H100, Dali IO-12 + EQ Fix!

Yeah, B&W seems to have that 'warm tuning' that results in muddled bass in music like Gojira and harder rock / metal. I've largely found the EQ settings I shared help with that. I loved both H100 and IO-12's but one is too expensive and the other too impractical. My wired Beyerdynamics DT990 Pro I u

Px8 Weird Static Noise?

I ended up sending them back to B&W under warranty because they were brand new. They told me that it was a faulty driver and instead of fixing the pair I sent in they sent me a completely new pair. I received the new pair of PX8's and then about a month in my USB port started to malfunction and effe

Risk worth the savings? Probs not… unlessss

UPDATE: unfortunately the Amazon preowned gods were not on my side this time, headphones got delivered in a basic Amazon box; only came in their case (which was dented n marked), no original box, no instructions, and the 2 connection cords. There were sweat stains on the headband, and the headphones

Px8 vs Px7 s3

I'm currently using the Mangird Xenns Top OG. I'm absolutely in love with these things. Its true that they have a narrower soundstage than you would get with openback headphones, but compared to closed backs like the B&W px8 they sound atleast as wide (and probably wider). I love the directness of t

Will I be able to use a PS5 with Studio Display? What features will I be sacrificing?

It works smoothly and I am pleased enough with the results. A clear downside is the missing sound. I also purchased a BT transmitter from green just to learn, that my luxury headphones (B&W PX8.2) do not support Auracast / Unicast. Using normal bluetooth is lagging like hell, unusable. So I'm sittin

Px8 s2 Connectivity Issue

Just wanted to reply and say thank you for saving my sanity. I've been suffering the same and confirm it appears more often when I'm out using the device and worse in congested areas. I further suffer an issue when ANC is turned on. Sometimes, not always, the sound when ANC is turned on will dip whe

Apple Airpods Max vs B&W PX8 S2 for an iPhone user

Device connectivity for Apple users is certainly better with APM. I bought the B&W Px8 S2 and have been A/B comparing the APMs.. if you have more than 2 Apple devices (apple TV, etc) just put on the APMs (or AirPods etc). with B&W you get last 2 connected so i have to manually connect often (but I h

Is the Px8 S2 worth the extra money over AirPods Max?

If you have an iPhone and mostly will be using your phone to stream than, no. This is coming from someone with 6 different B&W pieces of audio equipment who's a huge B&W fan. IPhone does lossless audio with its airpods max, apple doesn't have the Bluetooth codecs that flagship androids have to maxim
