IS MOMENTUM 4 STILL WORTH BUYING TODAY? CAN IT STILL COMPETE WITH THE NEWLY RELEASED HEADPHONES THIS 2025 IN TERMS OF SOUND QUALITY?

I bought them a year and a half ago aprox, and dont ask why, but I also own Airpods Max, XM5, QC Ultra, Airpods Pro 2, XM4 and have tried regular QCs and Sonos Ace. My favorite sounding headphones have been the Airpods Max and the Momentum 4, specially with sound personalization, though, the Momentu

Why I Returned the Bose QC Ultra Gen 2 Headphones

You should return them if you paid full price when brand new and reconsider buying them again on sale either on Amazon USA or Costco.com after reading my post, and that alone, especially the Costco.com offer (not available in stores) will take care of your price point problem since you get $50 off l

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

HDB 630 vs Bathys OG (vs PX8 S2)

I've owned these sets. The PX8 S2 is energetic out of the box; the recessed midrange, and boosted treble and low frequencies are how most consumer headphones are tuned, which is why some listeners will have issues with sibilance on certain sets. The PX8 S2 are especially strident; I prefer the PX7 S

PX8 007 - upgrade to PX8 S2?

The sound is a huge improvement. The px8 sounds decent, but the bass is realllyyy muddy. Everything is expressed much more tightly with the s2 Like the other commenter mentioned, they needed to loosen up for me. I had actually posted mine for sale because they were not pleasant to wear. Thankfully I

B&W you could do better

There are enough people out there who don't give two shits about random gimmicks that something like what B&W offers which is just a simple pair of Bluetooth headphones that sound good is tempting. Btw, you don't have to spend $800 on a PX8. They offer a PX7 model that's 80-90% there for half the mo

P100 SE current state

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

Px8 S2.... Wow. What an Upgrade.

I've tried out so many headphones recently including XM6, QC ultra 2, M4, B&W S2e, and I was pretty happy with PX7 S3, but I was tempted to try PX8 S2. PX8 S2 is so well balanced and makes music feel so alive, turning it into 3D. Your description sounds pretty accurate. It was worth the upgrade for
