B and O H100 - 2 failed promises in 2025 - Shocking Company

The difference is, B&W didn't lie to their customers to increase the sales volume and trick people into their product. B&O hasn't been honest with the H100 since day 1. Yes that's right, the Px8 S2s don't support LDAC but do support AptX Lossless which is far better than both LDAC and B&O's only sup

Unexpected impulse purchase: HDB 630

I probably would’ve gone with the B&W PX8 S2 for Bluetooth lossless. Your phone also must support aptX Lossless to be able to use it with headphones. Not so many phones support it, especially among the more popular lines. All other codecs are on par with what the HDB 630 provides without a dongle (B

Px8 first impression - questions

Nah, definitely not age – I’m 55+ and have tinnitus. AAC + Spotify is like a double strike. Apple Music with Apple Lossless enabled will help with playback quality and listening wired, lighting to 3.5mm TRS, with provide you the best sound quality at the expense of being tethered. I own one too many

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

Aldiginiz en pahali kulaklik?

B&W PX8 almıştım bir buçuk sene önce. Memnunum. Özellikle kablolu kullanımda temiz ve detaylı bir ses veriyor.

Is there a fix? Px8 S2

Apparently it is replaceable but B&W recommends a professional job doing it. Sadly, they downgraded from the OG Px8 that had user-removable/replaceable earpads that were a bit thicker. But overall, these are much better headphones than OG Px8, try the Px8 S2 using a USB cable from your device if you

upgrading from PX7 S2 to PX8

What I like about the B&W is that they’re flexible: I can use them wirelessly when I’m moving around the house, and wired when I sit down to actually focus on music. It’s honestly surprising how nice they sound wired, even though they supposedly have a built-in DAC. But my PX7 S2 cost me about $110,

PX8 or PX8 S2

I own XM6 and PX8 S2. The difference in sound is huge. XM6 sounds best from the box and every time you try to use EQ the overall sound is lowered. Never understood the reasoning for that. My only guess is that Sony squeezed everything they could for mainstream public who doesn’t want to dive into th

Considering the Px8 S2 as an early birthday present to myself, few questions

The B&W PX8 S2 are absolutely phenomenal headphones and will pretty much check everything on your list. Since you've tried them you already know how good they sound and they sound even better wired. They connect pretty fast and keep a strong connection to their source which is always helpful. Gaming

Px8S2 worth $300 over Airpods Max 2?

I have APMax gen 1 and just got B&W Px8 s2. Px8’s have more bass and are more lively but some songs are still better on the APMs assuming you use Headphone Accommodations (which I do). Ease of use is def better with APMs. I did get the Questyle QCC Pro dongle which allows iPhone and iPad to send apt
