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

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

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

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

Should I choose the Px7 S3 or Px8 S2

If you love the Pi8 sound, go Px8 S2. It’s the same house sound signature scaled up to over-ear - warm, detailed, with real bass depth. The Px7 S3 is good but it’s a step below in driver quality and overall resolution. Since you already know you prefer B&W’s tuning over the Bose QC, the Px8 S2 is th

Apple Airpods Max vs B&W PX8 S2 for an iPhone user

I have both. It is my experience that in use with 3 devices, they have very similar device switching performance. I know that’s not your question, but I’m just getting that out of the way. For your question: In the end, I really like both, but I think the Px8 S2 are more comfortable, and sound sligh

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

Px7 S2e or Px8 or Px8 S2

I have had the earbuds from Sony XM3 and XM4, from Bose the QC ultra earbuds, and have the Sony headphones WH-1000XM3. I recently bought the B&W PX8 S2 (after comparing them to the PX7 S3 and PX8 in store) and couldn't be happier, best sound I have ever experienced so far. Reason for buying them was
