Bowers & Wilkins Px8 Flagship Noise Cancelling Wireless Over-Ear Headphones with Bluetooth 5.0 & Quick Charge, 30 Hours of High-Resolution Playback and Built-In Microphone - Dark Forest

Edit 8 months in: I still love these so much. I prefer listening over USB-C at home, in quiet environments you can hear the difference vs Bluetooth (even aptX HD/Adaptive). ANC is solid and does a pretty good job, not market leading but it's still very good. Sound is the main thing though, still exquisite. Quite some years ago I had a pair of B&W PX and they were the most uncomfortable headphones I've ever worn, and I've avoided B&W since. That was a mistake; these are incredible. I've had a lot of wireless noise cancelling headphones (every B&O flagship model except the H100, a couple of Bose models, a couple of Sony ones, and a set of Master & Dynamics) and these are the best sounding of this style of headphone I've ever owned. I listen to a lot of metal and bluetooth noise cancelling headphones always struggle with delivering both loud/complex instrumentals and vocals. Except these. Every track I throw at them has the separation I've been dreaming of, and I can't believe I waited this long from launch to try them (which would have saved me buying a far more expensive pair of B&O H95 a year ago that I've have been nothing but disappointment on every front!). To sumarise, these: sound unbelievably good, feel like a cloud on my head (and still have a good seal with with glasses), have solid ANC (I prefer my AirPods Pro 2's ANC, but the Px8 are like 95% there).

Excellent pair of headphones. I am replacing my Bose with these - the sound quality is much better, and the noise cancellation is not bad. If I want a very good noise calculation, I use my Bose earbuds. The Bowers and Wilkins sound great, look great and are very comfortable.

Excellent headphones, sound quality is great, I love their sound quality. The build of materials, comfort and ease of use are great. These are truly premium headphones. I am a private consumer and my review is based on my private daily use - I just here music... Very comfortable to wear, easily connect to my iphone 15. The ANC is good - sufficient for me (they do not compete with bose) but if the sound quality and build of materials are more important to you than the ANC (which again - is fine and does its job) - I would defiantly recommend the PX8

Excellent headphones so much better than Sony and Bose to which both have had there flag ship. Gorgeous design excellent materials and as for sound top notch. The problem with noise cancelling that is top line it ruins the sound so having less premium noise cancelling keeps quality top notch. The seal on headphones helps keep sound out without noise cancelling on anyway. Very comfortable also which Sony's aren't.

A bit heavy for my liking. Can’t wear it for long periods of time. Sound is also mediocre for its price, there are other brands with a sound more suited to my liking (B&O). Can’t comment on noise cancellation because I’ve never tried others. The quality is superb though, materials and leather feel.

Outstanding quality headphones

Sound exceptional quality absolutely beautiful but I found them too heavy for me.

1st of all you need an extremely small head to be able to wear these for more than an hour,very tight and not comfy at all. 2nd , B&W shouldn't advertise these as noise cancelling headphones because there is practically no noise cancelling going on. 3rd, took me a lot of attempts to connect these to my phone. I have returned these and will be keeping hold of my Bose quiet comforts.

Vraiment une qualité sonore hors norme pour un casque Bluetooth, avec le paramétrage par défaut il peut paraître un peu neutre voir plat mais avec les réglage des basse et des aigu selon le style de musique où vos préférence il peut sublimé pas mal de vos musiques préférées. En plus l'appli pour utiliser le casque est sobre et bien pensé pour le streaming audio,elle augmente même un peu la qualité du son (sûrement grâce au codec plus efficace). Et en plus le design et le confort son vraiment au top! Si vous hésitez je peux que vous conseiller de l'essayer vous allez l'adopter.

Estos B&W PX8 gritan lujo por todas partes! El sonido es excelente, los materiales son de primera, la bateria le dura bastante y en general los accesorios que trae complementan muy bien el paquete. Nota importante: los puedes conectar con un cable USB C a tu iPhone o Computadora y la calidad de sonido mejora muchisimo. Tiene un DAC interno de 24 bits a un poco mas de 40 kHz (no tengo el dato preciso en este momento) que hace muy buen trabajo! No le doy 5 estrellas por los siguientes motivos: -Pueden llegar a ser incomodos ya que aprietan un poco la cabeza en comparacion con otros audifonos de la gama. -Su aplicacion a pesar que es muy buena, solo te permite ecualizar el sonido en dos bandas. Para los puristas creo que es suficiente. -La reduccion de ruido es buena pero existen mejores a un precio mas bajo. Espero que con el uso, dejen de apretarme y se vuelvan mas comodos. En general es una opcion solida y en terminos de audio y sonido es excelente! ***Edit despues de un par de meses*** En relacion a la comodidad de los audifonos, debo corregir mi opinon: Con el tiempo se volvieron mucho mas comodos y dejaron de molestarme. Me gustaria reforzar el hecho de que puedes conectarlos por USB-c a computadoras y dispositivos moviles, y de esta forma les exprimes todo su potencial de sonido!, el DAC interno hace un fantastico trabajo y mejora mucho la experiencia de escucha. Tambien es importante mencionar que al ser un producto con materiales premium y delicados, debes cuidarlos y mantenerlos en su estuche mientras no los estas usando, de lo contrario, lo mas probable es que terminen dañados. Debo corregir y colocarle ahora 5 estrellas.

Great value for money at the discounted price!

To preface, I wouldn't call myself a true audiophile. I enjoy good audio quality and am a musician myself, but dumping significant money into music listening gear has never been very appealing to me. Though, I've watched the overall Px8 prices drop this fall/winter which prompted a buy. OOB, these cans are gorgeous. You can see the clearly automotive-inspired design, and the Dark Forest green colour is absolutely gorgeous. I felt confident wearing them, at least for a short while. They are pretty heavy and have a noticeable clamping force. Even after a week, my big head couldn't quite settle with the pressure they brought, which didn't help the listening experience. Though, the plush headband and ear cup material might be compensation enough for others. And then there's the sound. BW's sound signature really shines through in some contexts for me. Like in some newer gen EVs and in optimized places with their flagship speakers. But the cans I received felt really airy and boomy in the mids. The highs were very clear, and I could have used a touch more bass, but it was ok enough. The dedicated app's EQ settings are pretty bare, and I didn't quite manage to get the right config after a week. ANC is just OK. I feel my much older and cheaper Sony WXM4s work better in every aspect. Something that doesn't impact this review but should be considered before purchase is the notorious quality control issues they've had with this model over time. A quick Google search will reveal a lot. This in combination with everything else above makes the Px8 not worth the cost to shelve out, at least for someone like me. I find it problematic when the cans look better than they sound or fit. I sincerely hope my specific cans were faulty to some degree since many other people seem to enjoy their Px8s.
