Bowers & Wilkins BEST Wireless Headphones PX8 Review vs Apple & more 

I purchased the PX8 and I'm a big Focal fan. I found I love the sound and comfort of the PX8. They have a more intimate sound stage. No issue wearing glasses with them.

B&W keep rolling out great gear. Thanks for the review. Loving the new 700 S3 series.

Excellent and very helpful and honest review. Mine hopefully arrive in the next couple of days. I was looking to get the new Bose Ultras but the build quality on the Bowers and Wilkins seem better. Thanks again

Pretty cool to see the comparison between the Px7 S2 and Px8 drivers. Haven’t seen that on any other reviews.

Really good description of the sound. Gotta agree on the vocals point, these are awe inspiring for female vocals and the kind of music that puts vocals front and center. I have the Bathys too, and many other headphones and these are amongst the best i've ever tried for vocals, better than even my Focal Clear open back headphones. Also you should definately try the P9 by bowers, it's just a grander, more impressive PX8.

Thanks for two great music recommendations. I hadn’t heard either of the female singers, but really like both.

Thanks for sharing.

Watched this and mark Levinson headphone video and they are excellent reviews. Can’t wait to see your thoughts on focal headphones

Great review ......Thank you

Thank you for the recommendation of Lady Black bird it was music to my ears.

Thanks for showing the drivers. Gives a lot of background on what potential these headphones might have, beyond the DSP programming / factory EQ. Both the PX7 s2 and PX8 drivers look good. Though carbon is susceptible to breakup modes - but maybe not that much in this small size. In the app, bass and treble adjustments are not enough for sure (and why the hell they want you make an account?). Having heard both, the PX7 s2 sounds smoother, reminiscent to other biocellulose driver headphones like the Denon 5200/7200, while the PX8 sounds more concise with cleaner, rounder, better defined notes and better dynamics and microdynamics, and I would not call them "glossy" for any reason. I prefer the PX8, though the boomy-bassy factory EQ favors outdoors and airplane usage. Instrument fidelity and sound stage is better with the 5909 while having good bass, but that treble peak kills it for me, it would need a notch filter. The Focal Bathys is also often quoted, which might be a pretty good compromise, unless its peculiar type of coloration and somewhat artificial [micro]dynamics is incompatible with you. I found it better than expected, but its audience may be narrower than that of the PX8. A properly EQ'd PX8 might be the best compromise for the money for many people.

The PX8 are awesome for vocals. I have the sennheiser momentum4 and cant believe i slept on a company like them. Thanks

The Mark Levinson H/phones remind me of the more Cybermen looking variety.

Sir Bowers & Wilkins Px8 can support dolby atmos and spatial audio? Can you please tell me.

I use my PX7 to play games on my PC. I don't think I'll be upgrading just yet I really enjoy the deep bass of the x7's

How do these compare with the beyerdynamic amiron wireless?

The PX7 S2 does use the B&W app. 😀 Does this apply to only the USA versions? Maybe the UK versions are different. If this was an oversight, does this change your opinion? It seemed that they were close, but you did note a few improvements with the PX8s! Cheers bro! 🍻🙏🏽🎶‼️

I'm not sure if you've had a chance to mess around with the Focal Bathys yet but if you have which do you feel has the overall best sound quality out of the bunch between the PX8, 5909 and the Bathys?

LDAC support is necessary for Bluetooth headphones as this codec is the best sound quality.

The PX8 is now less expensive than the Focal Bathys. I'm a headphone junkie and the four pairs of Bluetooth ANC headphones I now own are : Sennheiser Momentum 4, AirPods Max, Sony XM5, and Focal Bathys. They're all good. I had a pair of PX8s for two weeks or so, but ended up returning them to Amazon. They're all right. I'd put them on par with the Momentum 4s. I wouldn't call them the best though. The Bathys have, by far, the best sound quality of any Bluetooth headphones. I have many, many, many more wired headphones than wireless ones. In terms of the Bluetooth headphones though, I can't reasonably place any pair above the Bathys. I always like seeing other opinions though. Interesting video.

I wasn't crazy. When I tested the Px8... Vs. the Px7s2, I noticed a little issue with the voice when the bass is loud. Kindof like with sony headphones sometimes. It wasn't there when I wired them. I went with the Px7s2 cause for me a little issue like that is unacceptable lol. + If I plugged in the px7s2, it felt very similar than the px8. so meh. The px7s2 is compatible with the app tho !

....So r thee bass and mids accurate....

In Amazon US, a lot of people are complaining about Bluetooth connection issues and app issues...is it true?

does px8 have spatial audio ? atmos?

..until you heard the T&A...

The levinson looks better on your head the px8 looks so flat

B&w headphones have always been coloured and not neutral . Personally I am not a fan . I had a couple of iterations of the wired px range and also found them uncomfortable - yes the leather pads were soft but my ears would burn !

Theyre known for having durability problems

WTF who buy this 700€ when you can achieve similar/even better result with 200€ headphones ( even lower ) with a good EQ ?

you like the non neutral sound of non reference quality headphones, of upping the sound curve on the bass and treble, which are what the Mark levison headphones do with the frequency response, they designed this headphone on purpose this way for the sole purpose of attracting none critical none audiophile music listeners. This is the ultimate down fall of the mark levison headphones, with them not been designed to be neutral or flat, but designed for non critical listening, and not as reference quality monitoring for audiophiles. For music they do loose ultimately natural recorded clarity of detail in recordings, as they were not designed to be a true flat reference quality headphone, that a true neutral monitor designed headphone does . The way you design headphones or loudspeakers for both neutrality, detail, and naturalness without loosing any detail in any recording quality, is by rolling off the high frequencies by 6 decibels before 20 khz, and by rolling off the low frequencies by 6 decibels before 30 hz. You hear all mid detail clarity, and you still hear everything in the high and low frequencies. You also get to hear all distinct differences in all qualities of recordings of all recorded music. there are too many horrible headphones that curve up bass and high frequencies unnaturally, with the ultimate end results in loss of detail, definitions, naturalness, with the end result also been the lack of ultimate hear through clarity of recorded music. In the recording industry, for actual recorded music there is no real recorded musical detail above 14 to 16 khz. The same is true with the low frequencies, the low frequencies in music recordings are rolling off early by the time they are approaching the 30hz regions. The reason is because the current technology of recording equipment cannot successfully produce clean undistorted detailed natural sound of clarity cleanly or successfully above or below these frequencies at high level sound pressure levels. Personally myself, i cannot stand any poor quality equipment that makes any music have flabby unidentifiable poor definition of the low frequencies, and which also makes all high frequencies all with nasty sibilance. If any of your sound equipment sounds like this, this is nothing to do with the majority of any or all recordings no matter their quality, because it is down to poor technical and build quality design issues of your source, amplification, and loudspeakers . In all the high end quality expensive recording and mastering studios, no recorded music listened to through the big high end quality and expensive studio monitors sounds like poor definition flabby low bass frequency mess, and the high frequencies do not sound like a screeching scolded sibilant cat of a mess either . Some of the so called expensive and so called high quality passive audiophile equipment systems are the majority some the worst and most offensive audio equipment for having these particular non audio quality sound traits, that the manufacturer and designers put down as the so called high resolution equipment of sound design. In actual fact they are generally the worse offenders of what really constitutes as real high quality of sound design equipment .

Sooo many words. Impressive to ramp up to no conclusion at all. Impressive how there is no information in the video. Am I watching the Twilight Show? I guess this is a UK think? (even worse from the USA). I like the wearing experience. That sounds real, how an earphone works in real life. This should be 95% of the video as I see it. What happens when mother calls?... Hm. Hang on.. what app is this?. What the App?

How do the beoplay h95s compare to these?
