I don't normally take the time to write reviews but I simply had to after purchasing the Bowers & Wilkens PX8 S2 headphones. Let me start by saying I am a huge fan of Sony, I have both the WF XM6 earbuds and the WH XM6 over ear headphones and previously had both in the XM5 and I love them. Great noise canceling and great sound. Until...lol. Long story short but i needed a new pair of buds for cycling and came across the Bowers and Wilkens PI6 earbuds. I'm nowhere near what would qualify as being an audiophile but I have a good enough ear to know what sounds good and what doesn't and i was pretty blown by how good those PI6 earbuds sounded when i got them. So of course I start looking into the Bowers and Wilkens brand a little closer trying to figure out how I did not know about this brand. Low and behold I come across their latest headphones the PX8 S2. Eyes came out of my head when I saw the price tag, especially knowing I already had an excellent pair of headphones in the XM6 which weren't cheap either. But I made the mistake of reading some of the reviews and reading up on these headphones and before you know it I was putting my card number in to submit payment. Let me tell you, that was the greatest $800 I've ever spent on an electronic cause these things are absolutely amazing!! The sound is really beyond what I'm capable of describing. It's world class, clear, crisp, bass bumps but it's tight and just perfect. The sound is just big! It's like I'm sitting on the stage with the musicians while they play through a live show and these things handle EVERY genre like a world champion. They're incredibly comfortable to wear, call quality is very good and I can wear them all day with no issues or constant readjusting. Battery life is equivalent to the XM6 which is excellent. Connectivity is great and fast, has multipoint which was a must as I've been spoiled by Sony on that front. They definitely don't have the vast amount of features the XM6 has and the ANC is very good, close to excellent but not quite what you'll get with the XM6 which is the best ANC on the market right now in my opinion. But when it comes to the audio experience you get with these PX8 S2's, Sony and Bose will need to go back to the lab and find a new recipe to compete with these. I have literally not been able to take these headphones off my head since I got them last week. I even wore them to bed the other night and laid on my back just so I could fall asleep without having to separate myself from the sound (wife was not happy about that so likely the last time I wear them to bed lol.) And that's saying a lot because my XM6's stayed on my head all the time. Ever since getting the PX8 S2 headphones, I honestly have not touched my XM6 headphones. In fact, I took the very difficult step of removing the Sony's from my knapsack yesterday. I carry my knapsack everywhere with me and that bag always contains my headphones and earbuds in case I need them. So removing my Sony's from that bag is a major step for me but after getting these PX8 S2's I just couldn't see a scenario where I would reach for those instead of my PX8 S2's. I haven't gone so far as to sell them but I've definitely put them on the shelf. These are the best sounding headphones I've ever heard or owned and these are now my go to headphones for travel and leisure. It's a big number to drop on headphones but i have no regrets, these headphones are amazing! You will not be disappointed

Spectacular headphones, excellent sound and the noise reduction is very good. Used on a couple flights and very pleased with the performance. They are heavy, but it gives you a firm feel when you have them on. Higher priced than others but worth the money.

I cannot claim to be a true audiophile but these headphones are remarkable. I have had some very nice Bose and Sennheiser over the ear headphones in the past and these excel, passing them both up in terms of deep, rich, punchy bass. They lack the quality of ANC that you get with Bose and others, but more than make up for that in quality of build, comfort, and overall sound especially at the lower end range frequency. Only my wired studio monitors that cost a fortune can outperform these headphones. Battery life is very good as well. Did I mention comfort? The leather ear pads are like clouds. Love them. Paid the price for them, but love them and feel they are worth the investment.

I had the PX8 and they were great, not the end all of headphones as advertised then again nothing is. Thier natural soundstage was very good, again not mind blowing. Thier 2 band EQ did not help. Who ever approved that product with a such limitation in this era did not know what they were doing. I got my hands on the PX 7 S3 on the cheap, I mean half price. They were excelent, everything the PX8 was on the verge off these finished the job. The bass was the star of the show right out of the box. The 5 band equalizer lefted the already efficient B&W app. The bass gave the mids and the highs a place to land without ever taking anything away from them. Almost too good to be true sound wise at the price point and beyond. What I didn't like about them, their plastic construction and fabric headband. Coming off the PX 8, it felt like a serious downgrade. Did not enjoy the esthetics at all. They were very confortable not likable. (For me). I could not shake it off, silly but thats the truth. Then the PX 8 S2 come into the picture, the reviews from my trusted sources were glowing. They are pricey but described as giant killers. Then I got hit by upgrade bug bigtime. Sold both the PX8 (not being used at all) and PX 7 S3 for a profit and my dream came true, so I thought. Opening the box was like Christmas morning. The new car smell of luxurious leather, metal and elegantly exposed wire made me gitty. Then I heard them. So refine, so in control, so balanced, across various musical choices. So where is my issue? The hard bass I feel in love with the PX 7 S3. I can't recreate it. Don't get me wrong the bass here is very good just focused on critical listening. These are true audiophile wireless speakers, more than the PX8 ever were. A true leap forward not just a money grab. Working on breaking them in to see thier true potential. These are as good as anyone can ever expect to have on a wireless headphone regardless of price for critical (beautiful )music sessions. The plus side to this is that those high end recordings will blow you away. If you want bass sentric more consumer friendly the PX7 S3 are your only choice. As long as they don't stop working they are a keeper. Because music goes far beyond on single factor. When you listen to great recordings you are transported. What else can I ask for.

I tried several different headphones that could be used wired (for better sound reproduction) and settled on the B&W. I have a Polestar 3 auto with the B&W system so I’m used to their sound signature. The Px8s are very comfortable. Not to tight, not loose. The AirPods Max felt like a vice-grip on my noggin. The soundstage is amazing. I find myself getting lost in the music hearing details not picked up by other headphones. The ANC is very good. It’s hard to beat Bose for ANC, but these are very close behind. The trade-off (if any) for the ANC is the amazing sound reproduction. I am coming from the Sennheiser Momentum 4s - great headphones, but I’m giving the edge to B&W. Sounds is very subjective -some prefer highs, other deep bass. The best headphones are the ones that sound best to you (same with speakers). I find the B&Ws check all of the boxes, especially when used wired. The Bluetooth (wireless) function works perfectly well - no cut-outs or static. I highly recommend these headphones.

I have a bunch of high end headphones (AirPods Max, Senn HD600, Audeze, Sony etc). I wanted some travel headphones with a focus on sound quality and purchased and returned the Focal BathyMGs (disappointing sound and fit) and Senn HDB630’s - Low sound issue, poor build quality. I finally tried these and love them. I immediately knew they were keepers. They may be a big bass heavy, but I have EQ’d then with the B&W app to my taste. Great quality, fit and sound. Wired is truly incredible and wireless extremely good. Very happy with them.

I've owned these for 4 months now. I've previously owned the B&W PX7S2e and JBL's Tour One M3. I've listened extensively on Sony's XM5 and XM6, Bose's Quiet Comfort Ultra, Beats Studio Pro, and Apple's Air Pods Max. I've also owned and listened to many earbuds (Jabra, Apple, Bose, Sony, Beats) and speakers. Among all of these, the PX8S2 stand out as the best sounding, most accurate headphones I've ever listened to. The lows, mids, and highs are all balanced perfectly out the box with no need to adjust EQ, though you can. Everytime I listen to songs, I know well, for the first time on these headphones, I hear details I haven't heard before. The sound accuracy and clarity are so great that if you close your eyes, it feels like you're in the recording studio with the artist, listening to their music exactly how they intended. Truly audiophile-tier premium headphones. The build feels quality and durable with real leather and sturdy aluminum while not being too heavy. It's also much slimmer than its PX8 predecessor and the PX7S2e, which I appreciate. The difference between these and cheaper plastic-based headphones is insane. The build quality is not lacking one bit for this price point. Bear in mind, with real leather and aluminum, the head band will be tight initially. At first, it caused a headache after a few hours of constant use for me. However after consistent use, it will loosen up and mold to your head shape - so don't be swayed away right out the box. After the break-in period, these are extremely comfortable and sturdy on the head. I haven't had any issues with connectivity after setting up in the B&W headphone app - it's quite easy to switch from device to device. As for the ANC/transparency, these are a huge step above the PX7S2e and PX8 with twice the amount of ANC mics (8 vs 4 per ear cup). The difference is remarkably noticeable and is generally really good. I do think that, when compared to Sony/Bose/Apple, the ANC/transparency of the PX8S2 fall short - but not by much. I did just have one of the ANC mics start crackling (only able to heard when no sound was playing). This is the only reason I gave it 4 stars since I’ve only owned them for 4 months. However, their customer service was super nice and helpful. They have a 2yr warranty they honor and within a week of mailing my headphones to them, I received a brand new pair in the mail. The ANC mic was a mild inconvenience but was handled well by B&W. Overall, I think if you have the money and truly admire high-quality sound, you should look no further. What the PX8S2 lack in ANC, they make up for (and then some) in sound quality and accuracy. You get what you pay for with these headphones, and you get some really great customer service. You have to give these a listen to truly understand how great they are. The only regret I have is that these ruined other headphones/earbuds for me, as nothing comes close to the sound quality of the PX8S2.

These blew me away! The sound is deep, clear and all encompassing. The quality of materials is amazing. I have used other Bowers and Wilkins headsets and already had high expectations. I was not disappointed. A bit pricey and I felt a little guilty spending this much, but man, these sound great! The noise cancelling is okay. Definitely not Bose or Sony level, but if your listening to music, you won't hear any outside noise.
