Returned PX7 S3 after 4 days of use, back to Sony XM5
I never warmed to the XM5s, not a patch on any of the three B & W headphones I've had (px2, px2 SE and px8) in terms of sound, nowhere near any of them in fact. In fact, the XM4's were far better than the XM5's.

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

B and O H100 - 2 failed promises in 2025 - Shocking Company
The difference is, B&W didn't lie to their customers to increase the sales volume and trick people into their product. B&O hasn't been honest with the H100 since day 1. Yes that's right, the Px8 S2s don't support LDAC but do support AptX Lossless which is far better than both LDAC and B&O's only sup

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

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

Px8 first impression - questions
Nah, definitely not age – I’m 55+ and have tinnitus. AAC + Spotify is like a double strike. Apple Music with Apple Lossless enabled will help with playback quality and listening wired, lighting to 3.5mm TRS, with provide you the best sound quality at the expense of being tethered. I own one too many

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
