Just join the Px8 family
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

PX 8S2 vs Focal Bathys
I have both and also the MG... Read it and I hope it can help you. Sound Performance The B&W Px8 S2 (The "Musical" Choice) Signature: It has a warm, lush, and bass-heavy sound profile. It’s designed to be smooth and "expensive" sounding rather than surgically accurate. Strengths: The low-end has

Is the exposed cable on the Px8s2 really a bad enough design "flaw"
a flaw? a lot of people don't realize this is a previous design used by B&W and is probably a shoutout to the original B&W PX, P5, P7. people complaining about it don't have a clue. i like the design. i also like that it differentiates itself from the PX8. if they left it with the cable not showing,

My first time
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

PX8 S2 vs Sony WH-1000XX “The Collection“
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

New PX8 S2 midnight blue
Have fun with the sharp looking B&W midnight blues…they look amazing!!! Personally, I choose to use my B&W PX8 S2 headphones exclusively at home and while traveling on airplanes etc. For outdoor walks, traveling to and from work and workouts, I prefer my Bose QC Wireless Earbuds because they’re engi

I will compare PX8, PX8S2, and Pi8 against everything.
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

First time buyer with concerns
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.

Should I buy PX7 S3 or PX8?
I don't know if you already made your decision, but I own the PX8 and they are great. The sound is excellent and warm. It made me want to listen to old songs all over again. And the DAC mode is amazing when connected with USB C device (MacBook Pro, Samsung Galaxy Fold 6 & iPhone 15 wired wired have
