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

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

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

HDB630 Pros and Cons
They feel INSANELY cheap. Way more than anything else I've had but the XM6. The plastic isn't good and most of them creak to some extent (even if it isn't noticeable when you wear them, and I've tried 4 pairs). This is definitely part of the give and take aspect of ANC headphones. If you want better

Trying to decide if HDB 630 are worth it over Sony XM6
Disclaimer: not an audiophile and also do not work with music, just enjoy it. ;) I had the Sony XM3, then the XM4. Last month, I started looking for a replacement as the Sonys were basically crumbling (all the "leather" was peeling away). I did a lot of research - I'm a bit obsessive when buying any

PX8 S2 Appreciation
All the attention and praise going towards HBD 630 and I simply can't understand why. Before buying my Px8 S2s, I had an extensive audition and tried a crazy amount of cans. The only ones that came close to B&W were B&O H95 and H100. Eveything else felt cheap and overpriced. These B&W Px8 S2 are the
