Convince me *not* to buy the px7s3
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. I have no complaints, other than that I wish they sounded like the Focal Bathys Bose has ok sound. Wouldn't call i

Is the Px8 S2 worth the extra money over AirPods Max?
I had the Airpods Max for 4 years. They have amazing sound quality and the best ANC I have experienced. I recently tried a PX8 S2 in the store and was blown away, so I bought it. Upon testing them side by side the first day though, my first thought was that the difference wasn't that big. However, a

B&W PX7 or PX8 sound quality wise and build quality wise. But bose is not far. ANC bose 100%

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

PX8S2 my thoughts
I started with px7s3 this summer and they sound great, especially the punchy and controlled bass. They reveal fine details in the music. 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

Noticing something with my PX8: ANC on = fuller bass, even in a silent room
Admittedly the Px7/Px8 more so than the others. I had Sonys and Sennys before and my default was to turn on ANC only if needed. For B&W I leave them on because the sound signature is noticeably better.

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

Is PX7 S3 ANC truly bad?
I had a pair of Px8's and I used them on the plane, the ANC was not good. Whenever I moved my head around on the plane, it would pick up the air vents and other engine noise and wouldn't cancel the noise correctly. It was so bad that I returned it and buying the XM6. Don't buy the B&W's if you prior

Review of the Px8 s2.
I have the px8, bought them about a year and a half to two years ago now it seems. I didn’t realize they released a new version until I saw this pop up on my feed. I didn’t think it was possible to get any better than what I’ve got, but seems like B&W figured out a way to do so. Anyone personally ha

Is the HDB 630 worth the upgrade from Momentum 3?
I upgraded from my M3 last Monday that I used since release and it was definitely worth it. I went to a HiFi store to try all the different headphones ( B&W Px8, Cambridge Audio P100, M4 and more). They are imo the best out of them even without the BTD700 (ANC is not as good as the mx6 but it's just
