Color: Tan
It’s nearly 1:00 a.m. and I’m hurriedly skipping from song to song to see how great these cans sound. And here’s the thing: I’m using a flat signal. No equalization. No treble. No bass. Just the music as the artist and producer intended. It’s bliss. I’ll warn perspective buyers that it wasn’t always this way. These headphones definitely required a break in period of about seventy five hours, during which time I had the treble and bass at + 6 db and I played pink noise through them. When listening to music I had the bass at -2.5 db and the treble at +3.5 db because they were so base-heavy and muddy-sounding. Then it happened. I put them on and they sounded over-equalized, so I tried a flat signal and BAM! I guess I should tell you that my journey to find perfect sound was a long one, during which I bought the Bose QuietComfort and QuietComfort Ultra, the Sony XM5 and the new XM6, the Sonos Ace, the AirPods Max, etc. you get the picture. The PX8 simply sound better. Even after extensive break in, they’re still on the warmer side, which you’ll probably appreciate if you’re bothered by sibilance. Warm or not, these are still the most accurate-sounding headphones I own. But are they comfortable? YES! I find them more comfortable than my Bose. It’s the Napa leather and their gentle grip. You don’t put them on, you sort of slip into them and become one with them. I honestly forget I’m wearing headphones. I’ve worn them for hours without feeling warm or fatigued. You may occasionally hear a hissing coming from one of the drivers. There is nothing wrong with your headphones. If/when this happens, it’s because you don’t have a proper seal. Simply adjust that ear cup until this hissing stops. The leather is VERY soft and supple, so I could see the potential for issues, especially if you don’t handle them properly. There are many reviews with pictures showing the headband coming apart. For that reason, I don’t even store these on a stand, they are the only pair that I own that immediately go back into their case when not being used. Also, in order to exert less pressure on the headband, I adjust the ear cups PRIOR to putting on the headphones, as opposed to putting them on and pulling down on the ear cups. I then take them off and then retract the ear cups. Also, I never handle them by the headband. So far (knock on wood), I’ve not had a problem with the headband coming apart. They are a beautiful work of art, the aluminum accents, the Napa leather, they are gorgeous. It’s the only pair of headphones that when I took them out of the box, I felt that I purchased something substantial. Handle them accordingly and you shouldn’t have a problem. ANC: if these headphones come up short, then this is where. The ANC is acceptable. It’s actually good. It’s just not great. You will not get the same level of sound cancellation as the aforementioned headphones. I’d say they’re on par with the Bose QuietComfort 45, which is certainly respectable, but it’s not on par with the cutting edge tech in ANC. it’s definitely not a deal breaker for me. The pass-through mode is again acceptable, but nothing to write home about. Battery Life: While breaking in the headphones, I left noise cancelling on and ran them at about 80% volume, and I was definitely getting thirty hours out of a full charge. So far I’m very pleased with the battery. It also seems to charge quicker than some of my other headphones, which was a pleasant surprise. I hope I’ve helped you make a decision. If I have, then please click the “helpful” button so that I know I’m on the right track with the info I’m providing. Thank you. I’m going to get back to my music. Happy listening! Update: in the interest of full disclosure, after extensive listening to many genres of music, I’ve settled on -1.0 db bass and +1.0 decibel treble. They were just a smidge too warm with a completely flat signal (also, my iOS phone is set to “rock.”) This could all be because of presbycusis due to my age (53). All things considered, they are the best-sounding and still require the least equalization of anything I’ve owned. Update 07/07/25: I’ve since purchased the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95s. I got them on sale for an incredible $649 (my Px8 were only $408), and my opinion (with new information) has changed. While I still think the Px8 sound great and provide a very enjoyable listening experience, they do lack the detail and resolution of the H95. I’m dating myself here, but it’s very similar to comparing the old Bose 901 speakers to a pair of Vandersteen model 2CE. While the 901’s provided a great listening experience, they lacked the detail and resolution of a pair of Vandersteen speakers. Like a pair of Vandersteen, the H95 are far more neutral and balanced than the Px8. For more info the H95, see my review on the Amazon product page. I still love my Px8s, but I do think a true audiophile would prefer the H95. ... show more

  • It's Not About the Sound or ANC
Color: Dark Forest
A common complaint I see about this product, is that the sound is excellent and in most cases better than what you get from the Bose Ultra or Sony XM6, but not enough to justify the price. That really misses the point. I switched from the XM5s. Those always sounded excellent to me, they worked well, and had amazing ANC. In contrast, the Px8 has a more dynamic sound. Every segment sounds slightly more defined. To me, they do sound better. The ANC, while not as good as the XM5s is still excellent for most situations. Battery life is excellent and they charge up quickly. These fit well and are more comfortable than the XM5, despite their extra weight. I will miss the controls of the XM5, but some people will prefer the Px8. There is something to be said for physical buttons and having dedicated volume buttons. Here is the real separation. When you pick up the XM5, you don't think much about them. When you pick up the Px8, you realize what true quality feels like. Once you experience that level of quality, it's very difficult to go back. This might be most apparent in the hinges. Sony's feels flimsy and cheap in comparison. The Px5s feel like they are invincible. Solid isn't even the word for it. We're talking metal vs. plastic. The same goes for everything else. It's function vs luxury. Luxury can have both but function can lack luxury. The app is simple compared to Sony's but that's not a bad thing. Sony's app is bloated and hard to navigate at times. B&Ws is far more straight forward and you can find what you need. These do let you tweak the EQ in the app. For me the default sound is really good, but I can see myself tweaking it slightly for certain kinds of music. I know some people are going to complain that these do not have the latest and greatest Bluetooth connectivity, but if that's a thing is going to depend on your phone. For most people that's not going to be a factor at all when it comes to the quality of sound or even the stability of the connection. The real illustration for how these compare to others is to compare them to cars. A new Toyota is great, reliable, and gets the job done, but you can't really compare it to the similar Lexus. Both are technically a Toyota, but the Lexus is a whole different experience. You might balk at the price and wonder why you'd ever pay the extra for a slight power boost and better interior, until you've actually experienced the quality and attention to detail. After that you know why the Lexus is more, and understand why some people prefer it, even if it's not your preference. The Px8 are some of the most luxurious headphones you can buy. They are a cut above the offerings from Bose and Sony. ... show more
