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

If you think that's bad, you should see what actual cheap ones feel like. I don't think the QCU2s are that bad. If you want more premium stuff, you need to jump up to the next tier of audiophile wireless headphones. B&W PX8 S2, Focal Bathys MG, Dali IO-12, etc.

My tested recommendation: Get the Focal Bathys MG instead!The PX8 S2 reviews vs the actual experience are two different things I found. I ve been meaning to replace my Bang Olufsen H95 after 5 years.

Until I tried the MG. It was impossible to like o

Brilliant! Listed 40 hours. I never ran out. Look for reviews. I can promise you it sounds very close to Focal Bathys, for a ton less money! The only things you're sacrificing are build quality and ANC, but that's very much understandable considering the sheer value. It's the best value wireless hea

10000% worth it. Technically, I don't like to compare to "slash through" prices, they usually go for around 350 new consistently. Again, even at 350 there's no better for the sound quality. They run hand in hand, and some say they surpass the focal bathys, the all around winner for the 500-600 dolla

Interesting review yet all YouTube reviews and noise canceling curves shoe they are on par with the xm5/6/qc ultra. Just different settings. They seem to be tons better on higher frequencies eg where a lot of people are and talk than on a plane or train ride. And those tdch tubers usually have fairl

XM5's are eh though. Like, I get where you're coming from. For your use-case. 100%. I just want to encourage something like maybe the Sennys Momentum 4. I have personally compared:Focal BathysBowers & Wilkins PX7Bowers & Wilkins PX8Sonos AceSony XM5Airpods MaxBose Quietcomfort Ultra Of these, the XM
