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.

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.

I didn't try the Bathys or Bathys MG. I owned the OG and sold them. They never clamped tight enough t

Seeking advice on potential pgrade path from B&W PX7 S3 to Sennheiser Open Backs

I wouldn't necessarily go into this process with this train of thought; this is a blanket statement, made more vague by including an arguably ambiguous term. What classifies as an "audiophile" headphone, exactly? There's no real standard in place, and you'd likely get disagreements on what would fal

Headphones

They are good and perhaps best in terms of balance between features such as anc, voice calls, spatial audio etc. but sound quality wise they're very far from best. There's many better sounding headphones, such as Focal Bathys, Dali IO-8 or IO-12 (just noticed the Dali's are crazy expensive in the US
