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

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

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

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

PX8 experience compared to Sony and Bose

Terrible question, unless you want to get sent down a rabbit hole, lol. A lot of people pick what sounds good to them, not what is considered accurate. If it wasn’t recorded with thick, wall shaking bass, then I don’t want to hear it even if it makes the recording sound 10x better. It’s like when pe

PX8 S2 Mentioned on Packaging to Customers

I decided to wait for the PX8 S2 instead of buying the PX7 S3. So, I can try the Sony XM6 instead of both B&W. Honestly, having the PX8 and PX7 S2e, I prefer the PX8, using the S2e only on my commute sometimes . But I hate the Xm5 so, I still having time to change my mind.

What headphones to buy in 2026?

Bose QC Ultra Gen 2 would be my pick. Best bass response, great little app to tune sound to your liking. Surprisingly very resolving even with gobs of bass or treble. Always smooth yet detailed. Floats on the head. Very comfortable. Sony XM6 sounded extremely muddy and boomy to me. I did not like th

Moved from the PX8 to the HDB 630

Thanks I think I will get PX8 as I am looking for bass heavy headphones for trance & techno. Looks were important for me also hence multiple brands did not make the cut. I like how B&W look all premium plus if bass is strong then matter settled. Alternate is Apple Airpods Max as again looks good but
