Stuck between the B&W Px8s2 and Dali IO-8

I own both PX8s2 and the Dali IO-8. I’ve been using them for about three months. I also used the original PX8 for about a month and returned after I got PX8s2. It’s hard to say definitively which one is the best. If asked which one of these three I would personally keep, I might choose the Dali IO-8

Are Maxwell the best wireless headphones right now?

For gaming, there's no better wireless. For music, there's wireless headphones like the Focal Bathys, Mark Levinson's No.5909 and Dali IO-8 which are incredible. But Maxwell can hang with all of them with some EQ.

Stuck between the B&W Px8s2 and Dali IO-8

I doubt it that the PX8 s2 is better than the Dali IO12. The dahli is better and to my ears were comparable to the Bathys MG. Not to mention that the Dahli IO 12 cost over $1750 and the PX8 s2 cost $800.

Stuck between the B&W Px8s2 and Dali IO-8

You can fully enjoy “metal, melodic death, and symphonic metal” with either pair of headphones. I like symphonic metal myself. Since this genre is similar to movie soundtracks, the IO-8 is also a good choice for me. As for comfort, since I have relatively large ears, the PX8s2 feels a bit tighter th

Meilleure casque à réduction de bruit ?

Perso j'ai un Momentum 4 depuis 1 an et demi est il est plutôt bien niveau audio et a un très bon anc, mais on m'a vivement conseillé le io-6, io-8 ou si tu as un budget supplémentaire un io-12 de chez dali. Après c'est un budget.

My take on PX8 S2 vs Focal Bathys MG, B&O H100, Dali IO-12 + EQ Fix!

I still feel a bit sad for staying with Dali IO-8 but I'll see maybe I can sell them for the IO-12. Those I found with H100 in a class of their own and realistically first wireless headphones that feel close to true audiophile than anything else. Epic soundstage and actually high-end frequency respo

HDB 630 vs Bathys OG (vs PX8 S2)

I have the original PX8. Have enjoyed them for 2 years but now they are going to my daughter. I tried the PX8 S2, the HDB 630, the P100 SE, the Dali IO-8, the Dali IO-12, and the Noble Fokus Apollo. I didn't try the Bathys or Bathys MG. I owned the OG and sold them. They never clamped tight enough t

Stuck between the B&W Px8s2 and Dali IO-8

The Dali IO-8 has round ear cups, while the PX8s2 has rectangular ones, so I can understand why reviewers have commented that they said “narrow.” For some reason, I find the Dali slightly more comfortable than the PX8s2, though this may not have anything to do with the size of my ears. Also, I find

My Experience With the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 (and why I'm sending them back!)

If you're going down the Focal Bathys rabbit hole, then you should factor the Dali IO-8 and IO-12 into the equation.

Stuck between the B&W Px8s2 and Dali IO-8

That’s interesting! You’re actually the first person I’ve seen saying the Dalis fit well with larger ears. Just to make sure I understood correctly - do you find the Px8 S2 to be a tighter fit than the IO-8? Most reviews I've read mention that the Dali cups are too narrow for longer ears
